Carbodiimide Hydrolysis Stabilizers for PU Shoe Sole Systems: A Durable Solution Against Degradation

Polyurethane shoe soles, known for their cushioning and abrasion-resistant properties, are widely used in the footwear industry today. However, PU materials—especially polyester-based PU—are prone to hydrolytic degradation, particularly in humid climates or after long-term storage. This can lead to issues such as stickiness, foaming, or crumbling of the soles. Carbodiimide-based hydrolysis stabilizers are additives that […]
