MyLasti

MYLASTI / MYPLUS / MYLESS /MY55 are leather-effect platesthat we provide sanded on a smooth surface. They allow all forms of processing, from laser engraving to any painting. Very high quality and resistance combined with a special lightness. Mylasti allows an excellent possibility of finishing with a perfect definition of patterns with all our molds.

Supercrepe

One of the most versatile materials of our production, characterized by high resistance to abrasion, SUPERCREPE is a material in expanded sheets, with a characteristic bright sparkling pore, making it a unique product with lightness and resistance.

It is an E.V.A.-based foam with almost unique technical and aesthetic characteristics. Its surface with bright micro-bubbles, allows to recreate an exclusive effect both on dark colors and on more vivid tones, finding wide application in the construction of high fashion footwear, even in the creation of bags and accessories. The best features of the Supercrepe are also expressed under the technical / practical aspect: its superior abrasion resistance makes it perfect for soles and, at the same time, the lightness and flexibility that distinguish it make it an excellent product also for the midsole. Supercrepe is, therefore, a product that has few rivals on the market.

C-MAX/65

Compound that combines the technical characteristics of rubber soles with new elasticity and a specific weight lower than normal plates. Resistant, light and flexible, excellent for soles making even in low thicknesses. Based on E.V.A. with a density of Kg / DM3 0.65 with an excellent grip. The soles made in this way lighten the overall weight of the shoe, for increased comfort that adapts to any type of shoe.

The special formula, in addition to ensuring excellent grip and flexibility, maintains the durability characteristics of normal rubber soles.

Moreover, thanks to its compactness and hardness it is the optimal partner for the realization of soles constructed with several layers of E.V.A. both mono and multicolored. Available in the whole range of our colors, C-MAX / 65 can be requested with any production pattern.

Cork

Our company has always set its goal the constant search for innovative solutions, testing new technical and aesthetic solutions, giving new dimension in the expanded EVA market.

With increasingly specific market demands, we constantly update our products. Among our proposals there are products with natural cork to create particular and charming effects.

The application of natural cork grains to our base compounds offers numerous variations of materials for diversified solutions based on cork percentages and technical characteristics.

GREENSIDE

It is the newest in our production of recycled materials. A compound certified to produce E.V.A. with quantities of recycled material reaching over 60%. All with excellent technical characteristics and with the possibility of being made not only with the well-known characteristic grain dots but also with an aesthetic appearance with a totally homogeneous color that does not differ in appearance from all non-recycled products.

BioBased™

BioBased™ E.V.A.  is the material with totally biogenic ethylene.

We have created a range of items (soles and midsoles) using raw materials from renewable sources.
The physical/mechanical characteristics of foams obtained using bio-E.V.A. are completely equal to those coming from fossil sources.
The ethanol (bio-ethanol) used to obtain the monomer for E.V.A. production is in fact processed from sugar cane, a renewable and sustainable raw material.
Furthermore, during growth, sugar cane absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere, thus contributing the reduction of global CO2 emissions in the entire production process.
Since the bio-ethanol used to produce the E.V.A. contains the carbon that cane sugar has absorbed through photosynthesis, it is possible to analytically verify the content of carbon from renewable sources, and so relative percentage of the so-called “Biogenic carbon percentage”.
Biogenic carbon indicates the percentage of carbon that comes from “renewable” sources (biomass/sugar cane) rather than from petrochemical (or in any case fossil) sources. As a reference 100% biogenic carbon means the material derives completely from plants while 0% biogenic carbon means the material contains no plant-derived carbon.
A intermediate value indicates a mixture of natural and fossil sources.

BLOOM®

BLOOM® materials are made with the aim to reduce environmental impact and carbon emissions.

BLOOM® transforms waste biomaterials, such as algae that flourish in excess, in processing foams and materials. BLOOM®
harvests harmful algae and uses it in compounds.
The algae capture and convert carbon dioxide. The use of BLOOM® involves a reduction of carbon dioxide and gases in the atmosphere.

Milled

Our range of recycled items extends to various materials for the sole and midsole, with different characteristics of flexibility, hardness, density and abrasion resistance.

Milled is the material coming from the recovery of the production cycle of microporous plates and the recovery of material coming from the vulcanization of rubber. The process of pulverizing the recycled material is carried out following a precise procedure, which guarantees a homogeneous quality of the derived products. The same applies to subsequent processing, which leads to obtaining slabs with high technical characteristics and easily transformable.

The wide range of colours and finishes that isthe basis of our production, therefore allows toblend an eco-friendly material with an infinite range ofaesthetic and practical possibilities.

BIODEGRADABLE E.V.A.

Biodegradable expanded EVA compounds

The particularity is in the additives that we use for the production of plates or soles in microporous. The result are special products, which guarantee the same mechanical resistance of the traditional microporous, the same resistance to atmospheric agents and the same characteristics of lightness and workability, aspects that have always distinguished this material.

Moisture, heat and light do not alter the material.

Photosensitive or thermosensitive additives shall not be used. A very important aspect for the customer, who does not have to worry about setting up spaces or warehouses with special conditions. A feature that at the same time also protects the consumer. The biodegradable material, in fact, does not undergo alterations other than those of the traditional microporous, even in the presence of particular climatic situations.

Multilayer

Vulcanization is a heat treatment thanks to which, in addition to making the material more elastic and resistant to abrasion and atmospheric agents, we can also obtain multilayer sheets, which alternate more shore and color gradations.

These slabs can be easily finished using CAD / CAM machines, our materials can also be produced with ANTIDUST additive avoiding electrostatic charge of the processing dust, leaving the tool clean.

Bi-hardness

Among the needs of the orthopedic sector there is certainly to follow medical prescriptions to create a custom-made insole for the patient.

The use of EVA has allowed great progress in this field and the variety of insole hardness has certainly favored its use. While maintaining the weight of the material and therefore the weight of the finished insole unchanged, we are able to produce all grades of SHORE by providing plates and blocks with variable hardness within a single piece.

 

Marbled and Macro

We are always looking for new compounds and new processes to keep the quality level of our production constantly high, always keeping in mind the aesthetic aspect.

Starting from multi-layered colored sheets, we have developed multicolored solutions with a marbled effect, with wide combinations of colors, sizes and variable materials.

With the marbled, even in the macro version, we have created a product that, alone or combined with the other materials of our collections, offers the creation of sporty, casual and trendy soles.

Granitic

Like all our colors, granitic effect be made in most of our items, taking a normal color as a basis and bringing out VENATURE of contrasting color, in micro and macro versions of great effect, which do not alter the quality of the product but rather emphasizing the particularities.

Antidust

Antidust – Plates with antidust / anti electrostatic component for milling dust. Sheets produced in our E.V.A. materials, adding ANTIDUST component which allows a drastic reduction of the electrostatic load problem of the powders during material processing, such as milling, improving the effectiveness of the tool.
