Xenia launches range of PEBA-based ultralight thermoplastic composites
Last update on Jul 23, 2025
Xenia launches XELIGHT®, a range of PEBA-based ultralight thermoplastic composites designed for the sports and athletic footwear industry.
Thanks to their elastic structure and lightness, these materials represent the ideal solution for applications that require agility, responsiveness and freedom of movement.
Key properties
- Lightness: Engineered with Xenia’s SuperLight Technology, these materials deliver densities as low as 0.87 g/cm³ without compromising on mechanical strength.
- Flexibility: Thanks to their flexibility, XELIGHT® adapt seamlessly to natural movements, delivering both dynamic performance and superior comfort.
- Energy return: Xelight® optimized flexural response with low energy dispersion ensures superior rebound, boosting propulsion and maintaining performance over time.
Impact resistance: Their impact resistance, even at low temperatures, ensures effective energy absorption and dissipation, as well as increased durability, providing protection and support during activity.
XELIGHT® vs PEBA vs TPU
This range of materials was developed to meet the demands of high-performance footwear, offering mechanical strength and flexibility at an exceptionally low weight. The lower density, compared to PEBA and TPU, opens new possibilities in lightweight shoe design.
