PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) footwear compound is a specialized material used in the manufacturing of various types of footwear, ranging from sandals and flip-flops to boots and athletic shoes. PVC is a synthetic plastic polymer known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion, making it an ideal material for footwear applications.
PVC Resin:
This is the primary ingredient, providing the structural integrity and stiffness to the footwear. PVC resin can be rigid or flexible, depending on the specific requirements of the footwear design.
Pigments and Additives:
These are included to impart color, improve weather resistance, enhance slip resistance, or provide other desired properties to the footwear.
