In Texas, Celanese Corporation, a global specialty materials and chemical company, has introduced new biobased Hytrel TPC RS40F2, which, when foamed, is ideal for athletic footwear applications.
Incorporating a minimum of 20% segregated bio-content, Hytrel TPC RS40F2 foamed using a physical supercritical fluid (SCF) foaming process helps support the sustainable development objectives of athletic footwear brand owners and manufacturers. The bio-content is verifiable via the C14 method, the firm said.
Celanese also noted that Hytrel TPC is widely used in different industries due to its advantages in lightweighting, heat insulation, sound absorption, shock resistance, moisture resistance and corrosion resistance. Hytrel TPC RS40F2 can be colored to meet design needs while maintaining material properties.
“This new biobased grade is part of our expanding Hytrel TPC ECO-B portfolio,” said Peter Wing, Celanese Global Marketing Manager of Consumer Products. “It offers numerous benefits for athletic footwear brand owners and manufacturers that align not only with their sustainability ambitions, but also their aspirations for elevating shoe performance.”
