3. Regarding the future new production capacity of TPU, which downstream application fields does the company have confidence in in the future?
Answer: The foamed TPU independently developed by the company is an emerging application of TPU in the field of shoe materials. It has the characteristics of light weight and high resilience, and is easy to process downstream.
It is usually used as the midsole of sports shoes and has good market development prospects. At present, the company’s foamed TPU products have reached cooperation with well-known domestic sports brands in the field of shoe materials, and are also actively developing new market channels.
