Thinsulate brings insoles to market
02/06/2009
Insulation technology provider Thinsulate has added thermal insoles, incorporating its patented component bonding process, to its product portfolio.
The company has said that the new insoles combine moisture management and odour protection for all types of cold weather footwear. The insoles are made up of four layers. The top layer is an abrasion-resistant fabric that contains antimicrobial technology to reduce odour. The second is foot-conforming foam to provide additional comfort. A third layer made of Thinsulate insulation bonds the comfort layer and bottom layer, providing high levels of warmth. A patented foam in the bottom layer absorbs shock, provides energy return, wicks moisture and includes additional antimicrobial technology to inhibit odour-causing bacteria.
Jeff Gunia, marketing manager for Thinsulate, said on announcing the new product: “There has been market demand for an insole that provides not only comfort but additional warmth.”
