TPU is an abbreviation for thermoplastic polyurethane. TPU is used as the outsole material for the majority of Mongrel Boots.
TPU is heat resistant to up to 130C and is highly resistant to most chemicals and oils. TPU is also known for its slip resistance capabilities and providing excellent tear strength, making it suitable for most work environments. Nitrile rubber is heat resistant up to 300C, making it more suitable for people who work on very hot surfaces. Nitrile rubber soles are also resistant to acid and oils.
Yes, our TPU and nitrile rubber outsoles are resistant to most common oils and acids.
The midsole of all Mongrel Boots is produced from high quality polyurethane. Polyurethane is known for its soft and springy nature, making it perfect for comfort and absorbing impact.
The dual density soles of all Mongrel Boots are directly injected onto an upper via our Desma injection moulding machinery. This represents the latest and most technically advanced method of attaching soles to footwear uppers.
We use high quality steel caps in all of our safety ranges.
