Our polyurethane systems bring technical precisionwith a dash of Italian soul.
Elapol® Sport grades
Elachem’s latest development delivers the perfect balance of energy return, comfort and durability required by today’s footwear industry.
Featuring exceptional hydrolysis resistance, outstanding rebound properties and ultra-light midsole solutions with densities as low as 0.25 g/cm³, Elapol® Sport grades are engineered to enhance performance, comfort and freedom of movement.
Imagine new possibilities for footwear design. Together, we can turn them into reality.
These outstanding properties can be combined with our bio-based raw materials, creating innovative polyurethane solutions with a reduced environmental impact. Looking for the next step in outsole performance? Combine them with Epalite® to achieve lightweight, flexible and high-performance solutions.
Freedom in design, vibrant colours, elasticity and safety: these are just some of the advantages offered by polyurethane systems developed by Elachem®. Every footwear application has its own specific requirements. Our expertise allows us to develop tailored solutions and shape the future of footwear together.
ISO 9001 certification further confirms the excellence and reliability of our production processes.
Looking for high-performance polyurethane solutions? You’ve found the partner to make them happen.
Elapol® combines excellent physical properties with outstanding performance at both low and high temperatures, long-lasting hydrolysis resistance, exceptional rebound values and outstanding abrasion resistance. These Polyester (ES) and/or Polyether (ET) systems are particularly suitable for safety soles whether they are single or double density, but also ideal for trekking shoes and all other types of footwear requiring the best properties, including perfect bonding with other kinds of compounds.
ELAXTREME® GRADES – Elachem®’s latest generation of polyurethane grades, engineered for the most demanding footwear applications.
From exceptional hydrolysis resistance (>4 weeks) and outstanding rebound (>50%) to ultra-light midsoles with densities below 0.3 g/cm³, lightweight high-grip outsoles, and much more.
Your ideas. Our expertise. Exceptional footwear solutions.
The footwear market is constantly evolving, and Elachem® is ready to meet the changing needs of manufacturers with advanced polyurethane solutions.
Elapol® Casual grades combine durability, comfort and design freedom — three key elements for today’s successful casual footwear. By combining them with Elachem® solutions such as GripPlus or Light Midsole, manufacturers can take their products to the next level, achieving enhanced performance, lightweight construction and superior grip.
Reliable slip resistance in both wet and dry conditions becomes a key advantage for safer, high-performance footwear.
From innovative ET (polyether) systems, lightweight materials with excellent cushioning properties already chosen by leading global brands, especially in the fashion footwear segment, to advanced ES (polyester) solutions developed for running applications, every Elachem® material is engineered for long-lasting performance, durability and superior fatigue recovery.
Driven by the growing demand for elasticity and responsiveness, Elachem® has developed new elastic insert and midsole solutions designed to enhance comfort, energy return and performance in high-end footwear applications.
