Optimal Grades for Transparent Outsoles

ASAPRENE® 303 and 306 are ideal for transparent outsoles. Our unique polymer design enables transparent outsoles with excellent abrasion resistance and grip.

Optimal Grades for Transparent Outsoles

Balancing Grip and Abrasion Resistance in Transparent Outsoles

Asahi Kasei's SBR ASAPRENE® 303 and 306 enable the production of highly transparent outsoles by controlling the styrene ratio. Furthermore, ASAPRENE® 306, through its unique polymer design, successfully achieves enhanced abrasion resistance while maintaining grip (traction). This allows for transparent outsoles that balance both grip and abrasion resistance.
