Ultralight composite for sport footwear

Xenia Materials introduces the new ultralight composites family entirely developed on Pebax thermoplastic elastomer, reference polymer in several flagship sports applications.

Thanks to their exceptional density value, which is below 0,90 g/cm3, new Xelight grades stand out for their incredible lightness. At the same time, they feature a great impact strength, especially at low temperatures, great flexibility and high-energy return, still maintaining the peculiarities of the base polymer.

Xelight grades combine a good hydrolytic resistance and dimensional stability to a great processability and thermal resistance, furthermore, they are all colourable and available in biocompatible grades.

These new lightweight thermoplastic composites are the perfect solutions for many applications in the footwear world, especially where exceptional lightness, low density and great flexibility are required, always maintaining their excellent impact strength value.
