Lightweight Combat Footwear

Abstract

Expanded liquid urethane compounds with improved hydrolytic stability and good overall physical properties were developed for evaluation as lightweight combat boot outsoles. Liquid injection molding equipment offers a method of automating production of lightweight combat footwear based on expanded liquid urethane polymers. Mold design was improved to give better quality boots particularly flex life and better appearance because of better fit of mold to upper.
