Huntsman to Launch High-performance TPUs for Footwears at NW Materials Show

Dependable, durable, and developed with circularity in mind, the new portfolio of high performing thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) products will be of interest to footwear brands producing running, hiking and safety shoes.

Matthew Canoy, Global Marketing director PU Elastomers at Huntsman, said, 'We're always excited to attend the NW Materials Show. This year there is an extra layer of anticipation as we prepare to launch a new range of soling materials for the footwear industry. Our latest product innovation follows the successful launch, last September, of SMARLITE® O liquid TPU (LTPU). The new technology we'll be launching in August is compatible with SMARTLITE® O LTPU and is aligned with the sustainability, automation, customization and smart manufacturing needs of a sector that is renowned for fast-paced innovation.'
