Colombes, France -- Pebax polyurethane elastomers from Arkema are being widely used at the 2014 World Cup in Puma football boots, the French company said.
Arkema said that the sole plate and the padded areas of the boot and reinforcing strips contain a foam made from the elastomer. Arkema says that the polyurethane was chosen for Puma's evoPOWER boots because of its combination of low density, durability, strength and resilience
