Lightweight polymer material solutions are actively driving the development of the sports industry. They not only enhance the performance and comfort of sports equipment and gear but also foster design innovation and promote environmental sustainability, bringing profound impact and transformation to the entire industry. Wanhua Chemical has introduced WANELITE® PEBA, a Nylon 12 elastomer, which offers numerous performance advantages such as ultra-lightweight, high strength, easy processability, and exceptional rebound resilience. It is primarily used in midsole components, soccer shoes, ski boots, and other applications.
Exceptional Low-Temperature Resistance
The WANELITE® series exhibits excellent low-temperature resistance, maintaining reliable performance even in cold environments without becoming brittle or failing. This ensures better elasticity and comfort for winter sports equipment such as ski boots, guaranteeing both safety and comfort during use.
Outstanding Durability
With superior durability, high impact resistance, and flexibility, WANELITE® demonstrates significant advantages in applications such as midsole components (e.g., support plates and heel counters), baseball shoes, and soccer shoes.
Versatile Technical Applications
WANELITE® PEBA offers materials with a wide hardness range, easily adapting to multiple injection molding scenarios and providing a comfortable experience through different balances of hardness and flexibility.
Wanhua Chemical continues to lead innovation with the launch of its advanced foamable Nylon 12 elastomers– WANELITE®4011 and WANELITE®4012 – engineered for high-end functional sports shoes. Utilizing state-of-the-art supercritical fluid physical foaming technology – a true midsole “secret sauce”– these materials deliver ultra-low density, superior rebound, and enhanced cushioning responsiveness. This delivers a more comfortable and high-performing experience for athletes and casual wearers. Moreover, WANELITE® can be used as a performance-enhancing component in blends with common footwear materials such as EVA and POE. This significantly improves the properties of traditional foamed soles, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in next-generation sportswear and meeting growing market demand for high-performance footwear.
Looking ahead, Wanhua Chemical will continue to deepen its expertise in the Nylon 12 elastomer field, precisely tailoring materials for different application scenarios. The company will continue to develop new products for sports & leisure, electronics, engineering, healthcare, and other applications, committed to providing more valuable, innovative, and customized comprehensive solutions while delivering superior experience for customers!
