CAPA® polymers are widely used in the production of components and for the final assembly of footwear. The unique properties of CAPA® polymers produce benefits in a wide range of footwear applications.
CAPA polyols are used in the manufacture of polyurethane adhesives in all forms, including TPU's, solvent based, aqueous dispersions, hot melts and reactive hot melts. CAPA thermoplastics are hot melt adhesives and are also used in combination with PU systems in reactive hot melts.
CAPA based coatings are used in varying thicknesses either to form a protective layer or to provide the binder for the fibres. In all cases, the flexibility and strength of CAPA based PU coatings are key factors in their choice.
CAPA thermoplastics combine a unique blend of performance characteristics which make them the materials of choice for the production of heat activated shoe counters and toe puffs.
