Description of neoprene sole formula:
1. This formula is mainly used in cold conditions. The characteristic is that it does not slip on ice, and change in hardness 2H does not exceed 10 degrees at a temperature of minus 23 degrees (tested);
2. It is not only frost-resistant and non-slip on ice, but also fire-resistant (flame retardant) to meet NFPA fire safety requirements, flame is self-extinguishing, and also heat-resistant and oil-resistant.

1. Rubber outsole formula
PHR material code
CR-m40 80 Neoprene (WRT type) It is better to use medium speed with low crystallization speed, do not use NBR if speed is high because TH is bad
KBR01 14-butadiene rubber such as BR9000
Black Smoke 6 (styrene-butadiene carrier 60% N220 Black Smoke 38% STE 2%)
Silica 36, ​​preferably BH3
PEG4000 2.4 Silicon active agent
A-55 1 Active Agent (Taiwan Funded Primary Auxiliary PEG)
DOA 7.5 Oil
ZNO 4.5 is better than zinc oxide
Adhesive based on resin U-90 2.5
STE 1.1
OCTAM 0.8
SI-50 4.5 Binder
MGO 0.45 Magnesium Oxide
Suggested small cure (vulcanization system):
S (scatter) 11
D powder 2
NA22 2
TBZ 4
TBZ75 2.5/1 kg
2. Rubber outsole vulcanization process
Machine pressure 150 kg/cm2
Machine temperature 155-160 degrees
Cure time 240-270 seconds
3. Rubber outsole performance indicators
Product hardness 65 degrees
Density 1.32
NBS 128 DIN 78
shrinkage 2.2%
Traction force 140
Extension 300% 82
Tear (C) 45
Tear (T) 10
Minus 23 degrees (2H) 9 degrees
Solvent resistance B 46H/70%: 65%
Resistance to diesel fuel O# 22H/20%: 28%
Resistant to isooctane 22H/12%: 12.8%
Crack growth <10 mm: 2.55 mm
Cold resistance to twisting and turning - 23 degrees 7500 crack growth <5 mm: 2.7 mm
SATRA TM144 slip test method cannot <3:
Heel slope 5 degrees, rough ice surface 0.44, smooth ice surface 0.36
Central flexure of forefoot Rough ice surface 0.30 Smooth ice surface 0.22
This formula can give black (but not oxford and white because it doesn't protect well against yellowing and soiling), revealing a little that this formula is a special formula for military boots of a certain country, if there is something. wrong, please, friends, leave a message for discussion!
