The technology behind E-TPU, originally invented by BASF and known as Infinergy foam, was first introduced in Adidas' Energy Boost shoe line. Today, the ETPU machine has made this innovative foam more accessible, allowing more brands to incorporate E-TPU into their shoe designs.
Previously, only BASF controlled the E-TPU foam bead raw material, but the development of the ETPU machine has simplified the production process. Now, any manufacturer can leverage this powerful technology to produce high-quality midsoles.
