Introduction to Neolite sheets

In footwear manufacturing,Neolite sheets are an important accessory that improves sole quality, enhances comfort, and extends the lifespan of shoes. They are widely used in various types of shoes, including athletic shoes, casual shoes, and work shoes. Neolite sheets , through their unique structure and material, help shoes maintain their shape and improve the wearing experience.

What are Neolite sheets ?

Neolite sheets (usually referring to a stiffener made from melamine board material) are plastic sheets used in the sole or inside of shoes. They are typically designed as a rigid material that matches the shape of the sole. Neolite sheets is a composite material, usually made of multiple layers of paper impregnated with adhesive resin and pressed at high temperatures. It has strong hardness and wear resistance. The formula typically includes natural rubber, rubber powder, clay, EVA, carbides, and other chemical materials. Based on the proportion of recycled materials added, the quality can be divided into Grade B and Grade C.

In shoe sole design, the main function of the Neolite sheets is to ensure the stability of the sole during use, preventing deformation or loosening. It effectively supports the structure of the sole, making the shoes more comfortable when walking, and increasing the compressive strength of the sole.

Advantages of Neolite sheets

1. Enhanced Sole Hardness

Neolite sheets enhance the hardness of the sole, providing stronger support, preventing excessive bending or deformation of the sole, and thus maintaining the shape and stability of the shoes.

2. Improved Comfort

Through the use of Neolite sheets , shoes can better adapt to the curvature and weight distribution of the foot, reducing foot fatigue and enhancing wearing comfort.

3. Wear-Resistant and Durable

Neolite sheets material itself has strong wear resistance and anti-aging properties. Therefore, the use of melamine stiffeners effectively extends the lifespan of the sole, making the shoes more durable.

4. Reduced Weight

Compared to other traditional stiffening materials, melamine stiffeners are relatively lightweight, without adding to the burden of the shoes, thus maintaining the comfort of the shoes.

5. Environmentally Friendly

Neolite sheets material generally uses natural paper as raw material and can be processed in an environmentally friendly manner. Therefore, the production process of melamine stiffeners has a minimal impact on the environment, aligning with the concept of sustainable development.
