TPR sole TPR sole is a new type of thermoplastic rubber environmentally friendly material mixed with SBS as the base material. It has both the properties of rubber and the characteristics of plastic. It does not require vulcanization, the processing technology is simple, and it is injection molded after heating. Advantages of TPR material TPR material has adjustable physical properties and is easy to shape. TPR soles with high specific gravity have heavy shoe materials and poor softness, so the price is cheap. The price determines the quality of the sole. The TPR sole has a small proportion, light shoe material, good elasticity, easy coloring, good air permeability, high strength and so on. TPR is often used in leather shoes, children's sports shoes, and fashion shoes. Rubber sole material Rubber sole is a kind of high molecular compound, which can be divided into natural and synthetic rubber. Common rubber outsoles have soft hand feeling, good elasticity, good abrasion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and are widely used in various sports shoe soles. Disadvantages of rubber soles The shoe material is heavier, easy to spit cream, and the price is more expensive. Which of the two soles is better? ——According to your needs 1. In terms of wear resistance, rubber soles are more wear-resistant than TPR soles. 2. In terms of cost, rubber cannot be recycled, TPR can be recycled, and TPR soles are cheaper than rubber soles. 3.The two materials are not easy to deform. 4. From the perspective of environmental protection, TPR is a new type of environmentally friendly material, and rubber is not environmentally friendly. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/which-better-tpr-sole-rubber-gloria-guan/
