Texon sets sights on support with new product
16/07/2019
The company has explained that Texon Vulcan is a non-woven polyester felt designed to create sturdy yet comfortable heel counters. It described the product as “an excellent alternative to traditional rubber heel reinforcements”.
Texon has said that the product is impregnated with a special thermoplastic that increases its shape-retention and firmness. It is said to offer good structural support at a significantly thinner gauge. This is designed to allow footwear manufacturers to achieve a slimmer heel profile. The company has also said it is less prone to slumping and sagging, enabling canvas shoes to retain their form for longer.
Texon Vulcan is available in sheet form, or pre-cut. It is engineered to withstand the high temperatures and pressures found in autoclave ovens during the vulcanisation joining process.
