In sports footwear development, rebound and comfort have always been the two core indicators of material performance. In recent years, as consumer demands for athletic shoe performance have increased, advancements in material technology have brought new possibilities to footwear design. TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) and TPEE (Thermoplastic Polyester Elastomer) represent a new generation of high-performance materials. With exceptional rebound properties, unparalleled comfort, and versatility across various applications, they provide comprehensive solutions for the innovative evolution of sports footwear.
High Rebound: TPU’s molecular structure endows it with excellent deformation recovery, enabling rapid rebound upon impact. This delivers energy feedback to wearers, making it ideal for midsoles in running and training shoes.
Outstanding Flexibility: TPU retains elasticity and durability even in low-temperature environments, accommodating diverse sports scenarios from indoor fitness to outdoor running.
Durability and Sustainability: With superior fatigue resistance and recyclability, TPU is a perfect choice for the green evolution of high-performance footwear.
Dynamic Rebound Ability: TPEE exhibits exceptional dynamic performance, adjusting rebound effects based on use cases to provide appropriate support and energy return for varying activity intensities.
High Fatigue Resistance: TPEE maintains outstanding deformation stability during prolonged wear, preventing material collapse or rebound degradation, making it suitable for high-intensity sports shoes.
Abrasion and Weather Resistance: TPEE’s wear resistance and anti-aging properties ensure excellent performance in outsoles and midsoles, significantly extending footwear lifespan.
TPU Midsoles: Utilizing supercritical foaming technology, TPU midsoles are lightweight and highly resilient, delivering exceptional shock absorption and energy return for running and basketball shoes.
TPEE Midsoles: With dynamic adjustment characteristics, TPEE midsoles balance softness and firmness during running and jumping, making them ideal for versatile athletic shoe designs.
TPU Foam Insoles: Featuring a soft texture and superior shock absorption, TPU insoles provide all-day comfort, suitable for running, fitness, and prolonged activities.
TPEE Insoles: With durability and high elasticity, TPEE insoles maintain comfort even during intense activities, perfect for professional sports shoes requiring additional arch support.
TPU Outsoles: Known for excellent wear resistance and traction, TPU outsoles offer stable support across various terrains while maintaining lightweight properties.
TPEE Outsoles: With superior impact resistance and flexibility, TPEE is a preferred choice for trail running and hiking shoes.
TPU Heel Counters: Thoughtfully designed TPU heel pieces enhance anti-torsion stability, protecting wearers’ feet and ankles from sports-related injuries.
TPEE Side Supports: Offering dynamic protection, TPEE side supports enhance the flexibility and fit of the shoe upper, improving overall comfort and durability.
Xiangyuan New Material’s supercritical foaming technology delivers breakthrough optimizations for TPU and TPEE performance.
Microcellular Structure for Lightweight Design: The supercritical foaming process creates independent, closed-cell structures, significantly reducing material density while maintaining excellent rebound properties.
Enhanced Shock Absorption: The microcellular structure disperses impact forces and absorbs energy, providing exceptional cushioning to protect foot joints.
Improved Stability and Durability: Post-foaming, the materials exhibit enhanced fatigue resistance, extending the lifespan of athletic shoes.
TPU and TPEE combine to deliver a lightweight midsole and durable outsole. TPU midsoles maximize energy return, while TPEE outsoles ensure excellent grip and abrasion resistance for runners.
Basketball shoes require both high rebound and anti-torsion properties. TPU’s combination of heel and midsole design ensures shock absorption and energy feedback, supporting quick starts and stable landings. TPEE complements this with dynamic upper support and comfortable inner lining designs.
Outdoor shoes must tackle diverse terrains. TPU outsoles and midsoles provide outstanding durability and grip for stability on wet or soft surfaces. TPEE’s application in insoles and heel counters enhances comfort and support during extended wear.
Casual shoes prioritize comfort and style. TPU’s lightweight, supercritical foamed midsoles deliver soft, cloud-like walking experiences, while TPEE’s elasticity and fatigue resistance ensure long-lasting comfort.
Multifunctional Material Combinations: TPU and TPEE are expected to integrate with other high-performance materials for advanced innovations like smart shoes and carbon-plated footwear.
Sustainability: TPU and TPEE’s eco-friendly properties will drive the industry’s green transition, offering more sustainable options for consumers.
Customized Experience: Precise adjustments in foaming density and rebound properties will enable more personalized footwear designs, catering to varied athletic demands.
Xiangyuan New Material’s supercritical TPU and TPEE are at the forefront of innovation and exploration. From running to basketball, indoor to outdoor, these materials offer outstanding rebound, comfort, and durability, ensuring an exceptional wearing experience for consumers. As technology continues to advance, TPU and TPEE are set to play an even more significant role in the footwear industry, empowering brands to create high-performance athletic shoes that meet diverse demands.
