The sports equipment industry employs a variety of plastics to manufacture its products, focusing on specific properties that aim to meet athletes' needs.
For example, the outsoles of many sports shoes are made from thermoplastic TPU, which provides excellent shock absorption and abrasion resistance.
When selecting plastics for sports equipment, properties such as weather resistance, lightweight, and pleasant feel are crucial. Weight, strength, resistance to environmental factors, and flexibility are particularly relevant criteria. Lightweight yet sturdy plastics enable improved handling and easier transportation of sports equipment. At the same time, resistance to weather influences extends the lifespan of the products.
Current trends in the sports industry show an increasing demand for sustainable plastics that are more environmentally friendly.
