PU Dual Density Sole Range

The majority of our safety footwear styles are manufactured using direct injection moulded dual density polyurethane. These are ideal for short-term workers. Polyurethanes are organic polymers made by the reaction of diisocyanates with other di-functional compounds such as glycols. Foamed polyurethanes such as these used in the soles of Frams safety footwear, result from the reaction of diisocyanates with polyesters. Single density is still a viable method of soling safety footwear but we utilise dual density polyurethane for our boots and shoes. These provide a hardwearing outer sole and lower density comfort midsole. These soles wear at a slower rate than that of single density and the midsole of medium density polyurethane acts as a cushion, ensuring that the footwear is comfortable.

Our PU Dual Density Sole Range offers great slip resistance and is ideal for short-term workers. With a medium density midsole that acts as a cushion, this range offers added comfort.

Vulcanised Rubber Sole Range

The Frams Vulcanised Rubber Sole Range makes use of nitrile rubber. Formed in an emulsion process using free-radical initiators, nitrile rubber shows outstanding resistance to oil, with hydrogenated versions demonstrating very high resistance to thermal and oxidative deterioration. These properties make it an ideal material for soles that require specialised heat resistance. The soles used on these styles comprise of specially formulated nitrile rubber that can withstand heats of up to 300 ͦ Celsius. This range is ideal for use in foundries, smelters, tapping floors and industries producing hot metal shavings during manufacture.

Our Vulcanised Rubber Sole Range is ideal for use in environments where heat resistance up to 300ͦ Celsius is necessary. It is a great addition to industries where harsh acids, chemicals, oils and solvents are used.
