Phylon is a foam sole material. Generally, it refers to the midsole used for shoemaking, which is a mixed substance formed by heating and compressing EVA foam (belonging to EVA secondary high-pressure molding products). It is characterized by light weight, good elasticity and good seismic performance, and its hardness is controlled by foaming temperature. The higher the foaming degree, the softer it is.
Phylon, originally the general name of all sports soles, originated in the United States and has the characteristics of portability, good elasticity and good cushioning performance. It used to be a patented technology of Nike. With the continuous development of footwear products, some large footwear manufacturers distinguish the names of midsole parts according to their manufacturing processes.
Material introduction:
The word Phylon originated in America. In the past, the midsole of all sports shoes was called Phylon. Later, with the continuous development of footwear products, some large footwear products factories distinguished the name of midsole according to the manufacturing process. As a patented technology of Nike, Phylon material belongs to the secondary foamed midsole, and the surface of the finished product is white and wrinkled.
In the production project, plastic particles are heated and foamed twice, and then poured into the mold for pressurized cooling. In the foaming process, the density change of the material can be controlled by setting the temperature. The biggest advantages of Phylon are light weight, good elasticity, fine appearance, good softness, good hardness, density, tension, tear and elongation. The disadvantage of Phylon is that it is not easy to degrade and is not conducive to environmental protection. It is easy to shrink and wrinkle at high temperature.
