BONTEX® materials can bring
unique properties and added value when combined with other
materials such as metallized films, specialty coatings, extruded
engineered thermoplastics, non-wovens and foams.
Ripple-Flex
Process provides comfort through enhanced flexibility. BONTEX®
new Ripple-Flex process improves flexibility and reduces stiffness
by 30% to 40% as measured by the Taber Stiffness Test Method
(TAPPI T 489). Ripple-Flex increases heel-to-toe flexibility
while maintaining cross-wise rigidity for lateral stability.
BONTEX® with Ripple-Flex
process is a stronger and more flexible material which does
not require further processing such as slashing or cutting.
Also, BONTEX® Ripple-Flex
processed materials provide enhanced ground insulation particularly
for thin soled footwear. The Ripple-Flex process may be applied
to any BONTEX® quality or
gauge.
