P95A High-Rigidity Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) for Heel Counter

P95A for Heel Counter

Product Overview

The P95A is a high-rigidity Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) specifically developed for heel counters and structural footwear components that require superior support and dimensional stability.
Combining high rigidity, excellent resilience, outstanding fatigue resistance, and stable processing performance, P95A enhances footwear structural integrity while maintaining wearing comfort and long-term durability.
Compared with conventional rigid plastics, P95A provides excellent structural support while retaining controlled flexibility, enabling the material to withstand prolonged use and repeated flexing with minimal permanent deformation. This ensures reliable structural performance throughout the product's service life.
The P95A is ideal for athletic footwear, casual shoes, safety footwear, and other functional footwear applications requiring superior structural reinforcement.

Key Features

✔
High Structural Rigidity
With a hardness of Shore A 95, P95A delivers the structural stiffness required for heel counters and load-bearing footwear components, enhancing overall shoe stability and heel support.
✔
Excellent Elastic Recovery
Outstanding resilience enables the material to quickly recover its original shape after repeated flexing and mechanical loading, ensuring long-term functional performance.
✔
Superior Fatigue Resistance
Designed to withstand continuous mechanical stress, P95A effectively minimizes material fatigue and permanent deformation, extending the service life of footwear components.
✔
Reliable Weather Resistance
Maintains stable physical and mechanical properties even under low-temperature conditions, ensuring consistent performance across various environmental conditions.
✔
Stable Processing Performance
Excellent melt stability and a broad processing window improve molding consistency, reduce manufacturing variability, and support high-volume production.
✔
Natural White Appearance
The natural white compound facilitates color matching, overmolding, and customized aesthetic designs, providing greater flexibility for footwear development.
