Hot Melt Adhesive Film for Shoes

Hot melt adhesive film is increasingly used in the shoe material industry and has become one of the important materials for manufacturing high-performance shoes. There are many types of hot melt adhesive film for shoes that can be used in the shoemaking industry, and there are many scenarios in which it can be used. The following are the applications of hot melt adhesive films for shoes and the benefits of using hot melt adhesive films.

Where are hot melt adhesive films used in shoes?

There are many places where hot melt adhesive films can be used on shoes, including uppers, toes, insoles, trademark labels, heels, waterproof platforms, soles, etc. The hot melt adhesive films used in different locations are different in material selection and use.

For example, when used for seamless uppers to bond mesh cloth, TPU hot melt adhesive film is used, and the operation is completed by high-frequency welding process; in insoles, hot melt adhesive film with EVA components is used, and a composite machine is used to complete the bonding of fabric and EVA foam. Hot melt adhesive films not only have ingredients, but also have thickness, width, mesh or film options. The actual materials of the straps and ion-free processes should be introduced according to the table.

What are the benefits of using hot melt adhesive films in shoemaking?

In the shoemaking industry, many manufacturers often use hot melt adhesive films with superior bonding properties to compound materials in the soles, uppers, or insoles to improve the quality of the shoes they produce, so as to produce higher quality products. Let’s take a look at the benefits of using adhesive films to compound materials in the shoemaking industry.

Role in upper compounding

For some high-quality shoes, when the upper parts of the shoes are compounded with hot melt adhesive films, the overall waterproof performance is better than other types of adhesive compounds. At the same time, it also has good mildew resistance, breathability and environmental protection properties, and the production efficiency of the entire shoe can be effectively improved.

Application in hot pressing of insoles

During the production process of insoles, adhesive films are used to bond them, and the bonding can be more firm, and the water resistance will be better during subsequent use. At the same time, the entire bonding surface is uniform, without abnormal looseness, folding and other defects, which better improves the comfort of the entire shoe.

Lamination of the sole

When the hot melt adhesive film is used to laminate the sole, the entire lamination process will not waste too much adhesive film, which can make the entire sole more solid and improve the bending and aging resistance of the entire sole.

In addition to having a lot of applications in the shoemaking industry, hot melt adhesive film also has a lot of applications in some brand outerwear production, breeding or planting industries. For users in different industries, when choosing adhesive films, it is necessary to pay attention to the corresponding specifications and performance screening. Only by choosing the right adhesive film can you better meet your application needs and get more satisfactory use results.
