Nowadays, more and more people focus on the environmental issue. People use more products which are harmless than they did before. Also, due to the progress of technology, people try to do something that can be more efficient and more competitive. So, Novoltor has developed a product, called TPU Coated Mesh.
Our product, TPU coated mesh, is used Polyester Yarn with TPU coating. TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane) is a kind of environmental and harmless Thermoplastic Elastomers with many properties, including elasticity, rigidity, and wear resistance. Also, the polyester inside TPU is High Tenacity. So, the mesh made of TPU coated polyester is with good resilience, high abrasion resistance, and well shaping.
Also, TPU coated mesh is good material that can be used to automatically produce an integral plastic vamp. It makes production automated for manufacturing the light, breathable, and fit vamp. It will also replace the mass of manpower with machine and change the footwear industry from labor intensive to technical intensive level. That will increase the production efficiency, reduce the loss, and enhance the competitiveness.
TPU coated mesh is material that is good for the environment, and its well shaping property can let the production be economical and competitive.
