Haydale's Functionalised Nano-Enhanced Rubber Masterbatch Used
in Bolflex Rubber Sole
Haydale, (AIM: HAYD), the global advanced materials group, is
pleased to announce that Bolflex has purchased 80 kg of its
functionalised nano-enhanced rubber masterbatch for use in its
premium soles range for shoe production. This follows Haydale
recently increasing the elastomer capability of its functionalised
nano-enhanced rubber masterbatch.
Haydales' products are incorporated into the styrene-butadiene
rubber (SBR) compound offering increased tear strength, abrasion
resistance, flex resistance, slip resistance and coefficient of
friction - all essential properties for footwear.
The initial order of 80 kg enabled Bolflex, to prepare 3,000
pairs of functionalised nano-enhanced rubber soles and Bolflex are
currently evaluating the performance of their nano-enhanced shoe
sole product against their competitor's products. Initial results
are demonstrating improvements against its footwear specific test
standards. The Group expects to receive follow up orders during
2021.
According to Lucintel, the global footwear sole material market
is expected to reach $21.0 billion by 2023. Bolflex is a market
leading company, specialising in the production and supply of soles
for the European footwear industry. It is now one of the largest
manufacturers of the Iberian Peninsula and Europe with an existing
capacity to manufacture around 20,000 pairs a day.
Pedro Saraiva, Head of Sales at Bolflex, said: "We have
evaluated a number of nanomaterial products prior to purchasing
Haydale's product and noted a dramatic step-change improvement as a
direct result of the proprietary functionalisation process. This
has shown improvements in the handling, dispersion and overall
performance of the nanomaterials when mixed into rubber
compounds."
Keith Broadbent, Haydale CEO, said: "We are really pleased to be
working with Bolflex on this product and look forward to seeing the
Haydale logo on the soles of shoes produced."
