The application of rubber in the field of shoe materials, and how to improve the abrasion resistance of rubber outsoles

Rubber outsole materials are widely used in shoe materials, they are used to make various types of shoe soles due to their excellent physical properties. The following are the main applications and characteristics of rubber outsole materials in shoe materials:

1. Durability: Rubber outsoles are more durable and suitable for footwear that need to be worn for a long time and resist harsh environments, such as sports shoes, outdoor shoes and working shoes.

2. Anti-slip and grip: rubber has good anti-slip properties, especially on wet or smooth surfaces. This is particularly important for outdoor and sports shoes that need to walk on variable terrain.

3. Shock absorption: Rubber has certain shock absorption properties, which can absorb the impact on the feet when walking or running, reduce the pressure on the joints, and improve the wearing comfort.

4. Wide range of applications: Rubber outsoles can be adapted to a wide range of activities and environments, from casual sports shoes to professional hiking boots, rubber outsoles are widely used because of their adaptability.

The main difficulties faced by rubber outsole materials during processing include:

1. Abrasion resistance problem: Traditional rubber outsole materials have the problem of poor abrasion resistance. In order to solve this problem, abrasion resistance can be improved by using high-performance rubber materials such as modified rare-earth cis-butadiene rubber, methyl methacrylate grafted natural rubber copolymers, and hydrogenated nitrile rubber.

2. Uneven mixing: Uneven mixing will lead to uneven dispersion of the mating agent in the rubber, and locally, the mating agent may exceed the solubility and produce frost phenomenon. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the mixing is uniform for the quality of the rubber outsole material.

3. Aging of rubber: Aging of rubber leads to the destruction of its web structure, which may lead to frosting.

These difficulties involve many aspects of rubber outsole materials such as formula design, processing technology, quality control and environmental regulations, which need to be overcome through technological innovation and fine management. For rubber material manufacturers, it is very important to improve the abrasion resistance of rubber, and the common ways to improve the abrasion resistance of rubber outsole materials are adding silicone additives and so on.

SILIKE Anti-abrasion masterbatch, Improve rubber abrasion resistance.

SILIKE Anti-abrasion masterbatch NM-3C is a pelletized formulation. It’s particularly developed for rubber shoe’s sole compounds, helps to improving the final items abrasion resistance and decrease the abrasion value in the thermoplastics.

Compare to conventional lower molecular weight Silicone / Siloxane additives,like Silicone oil, silicone fluids or other type abrasion additives, SILIKE Anti-abrasion Masterbatch NM-3C is expected to give a much better abrasion resistance property without any influence on hardness and color.

SILIKE Anti-abrasion masterbatch NM-3C has a wide range of applications, Applicable for NR, NBR, EPDM, CR, BR, SBR, IR, HR, CSM, etc.

What are the advantages of SILIKE Anti-abrasion masterbatch NM-3C in applications:

(1) Improved abrasion resistance with decreased abrasion value.

(2) Impart the processing performance and final items appearance.

(3) Eco-friendly.

(4) No influence on hardness and color.

(5) Effective for DIN, ASTM, NBS , AKRON, SATRA, GB abrasion tests.
