INFUSE™ Olefin Block Copolymers
Advanced copolymers offering distinct recovery characteristics
Inspired by the needs of our customers, INFUSE™ Olefin Block Copolymers (OBC) offer unprecedented performance and processing combinations. This revolutionary material features a distinct block architecture allowing for exceptional recovery characteristics—helping create differentiation in applications where recovery is a distinct advantage. Explore some of those applications below.
Critical elements
Recovery and compression set are critical elements in the performance of footwear midsoles. If the foam midsole stays compressed and doesn’t “bounce back” sufficiently, a shoe’s ability to cushion the foot from repeated stresses can be severely impaired. Midsoles made with INFUSE™ OBC demonstrate strong recovery after several compression and release cycles. The downgauging of coextruded films – a nice sustainability advantage.
