Technical Nonwoven Components for Footwear Construction
KPL develops nonwoven footwear materials engineered to enhance comfort, structure, durability and performance in different types of footwear.
(a) Artificial Leather Substrate
A needle-punched nonwoven fabric is used as a substrate in the production of artificial leather. It provides a fibrous structure and mechanical strength.
Major Application
(b)Shoe Lining
Nonwoven needle punch fabrics are widely used in shoe linings because of their unique properties that enhance comfort, durability, and performance. Here's how they are applied.
Inner lining of the shoe's upper part, providing comfort and structure.
A stiffener used in toe puff or heel counter areas for shape retention.
Thermoplastic sheet used for toe puff or heel counter reinforcement.
Bonding material activated by heat, used for lamination or reinforcement.
Non-wicking fabric is a textile engineered to resist the capillary action that normally draws moisture into fibers. Non-wicking fabrics prevent water from spreading through the yarns or fibers.
Base layer inside the shoe for support and comfort, often made of cellulose board
Acts as the base layer connecting the upper to the sole Soft, flexible, and breathable
Heel Grip
Provides anti-slip support and cushioning at the heel area.
Toe Puff
A reinforcement layer that ensures shape retention and structural strength at the front of the shoe.
Shoe Upper Lining
Soft inner lining that enhances comfort, breathability and moisture management.
Shoe Bottem Lining
Durable lining designed for industrial footwear requiring strength and protection..
