| Light weight |
| Pebax® has a very low density that accommodates the design of lighter parts. Pebax® is ideal for outsoles, offering resilience to repeated stress, along with resistance to distortion and deformation. |
| Flexibility |
| Maximum strength where you need support, flexibility where you need movement. Pebax® grades can be combined within a single component to provide rigidity at one end, flexibility at the other. Controlled flexibility governs the movement of the shoe and, with each stride, returns it to its original shape. |
| Shock absorption |
| Shock absorption in sport equipment improves control and increases enjoyment. Pebax® can absorb the shocks and vibrations normally experienced in sports activities (e.g. tennis rackets). |
| Cold Resistant |
| Unlike toes and fingers, Pebax® doesn't stiffen in cold weather. Snow shoe soles made with Pebax® retain their mechanical properties (strength and impact resistance) and resilience under freezing conditions (-40°C). |
| Resilience |
| Premium golf balls exploit Pebax® high resistance to deformation and excellent compressive strength. Pebax® in various core technologies offers excellent resistance to permanent deformation, which can improve distance and ball flight. |
| Strength |
| Pebax® is an ideal material for high performance athletic shoes and equipment. Exceptional compression and fatigue resistance make Pebax® the best choice for outsoles where high strength and support are needed at low density.
Pebax® can be injected into very thin parts. |
| Easy processing |
Pebax® polyether block amides are plasticizer-free thermoplastic elastomers from the technical polymers family. They are easy to process by injection molding as well as profile or film extrusion. Pebax® can achieve a wide range of physical and mechanical properties by varying monomer block types and ratios.
Pebax® can be easily melt blended with other polymers. It offers good resistance to most chemicals and a large capacity to be impregnated with fragrances. |
