This adhesive ensures a secure attachment to upper materials, enhancing the longevity of the footwear.
With up to 66% recycled content, X8R-EPM5 aligns with sustainable manufacturing practices, reducing environmental impact without compromising performance.
Quick, clean, and easy to use, X8R-EPM5 enhances manufacturing efficiency and ensures high-quality results. X8R-EPM5 is also non-directional and can be cut at any angle, providing flexibility and efficiency in the manufacturing process.
