There are many different materials that are used to make slippers. For example, plastic is a widely used material in slippers, but it is not the only material. Rubber and leather are also used in slipper manufacturing.
Many people like to have a pair of shoes that have both styles. This can help you find the perfect shoe for your foot shape so that you don't wear out your rubber or leather shoes too quickly.
Common materials include:
PVC
PVC is commonly used in slipper manufacturing because it is durable, flexible, heat-resistant, and can be molded into a variety of shapes. It is also easy to clean and shape.
PVC can be made by blow molding machines or by extruding through a mold. To make slippers with PVC, slipper manufacturers need to use a computer-controlled extruder, which allows them to easily control the temperature of the material during processing.
You can also make slippers with PVC using a solvent bath or injection molding machine.
PVC comes in hard and soft varieties, and some slippers have a frosted finish that makes them soft to the touch.
Polyurethane (PU) comes in a variety of forms, including sheets, molds, tubes, and blocks, all of which are suitable for making slippers. However, they tend to be stiffer than other materials, such as EVA or PVC, and therefore make for better quality shoes than shoes made from those materials alone.
EVA
EVA is a material made from polyethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which is a type of plastic. It is lightweight, flexible, and waterproof.
It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor shoes, including slippers and sandals.
TPR
TPR is a thermoplastic polyurethane, used in slippers and shoes. It is durable, waterproof, dishwasher safe, and hypoallergenic.
It also has a soft feel, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin.
It is a thermoplastic polymer that can be made elastic and molded into different shapes.
TPR slippers are often made with a cotton or synthetic blend sock lining, which provides warmth and comfort. It can also be dyed, polished, and treated to make it waterproof or resistant to chemical damage.
PU
PU is another material that Chinese slipper manufacturers use to make slippers. Also known as polyurethane, the PU material has many advantages over other materials such as EVA and AVA.
PU material is waterproof, which means you can wear it on rainy days without getting it wet or causing water damage to your shoes or clothing. It also doesn't absorb moisture, so you won't sweat too much when wearing it on hot days or nights.
Rubber
Rubber is another great material to make slippers from because it's flexible and elastic, so it's resistant to wear and tear.
You can use rubber in any shape or size, and it won't deteriorate easily over time.
The material is available in a variety of colors and textures, including both natural and synthetic rubber, and is great for providing comfort and support to your feet during wear.
Rubber also breathes well, so your feet won't build up too much heat whether you're wearing it outdoors or indoors.
