Polyurethane - Elastopan® ️
provided by BASF

Elastopan® in cooperation with BASF of Germany, is a world leader in materials science. It offers virtually unlimited freedom in terms of design, colour and structure.

Elastopan® polyurethane ensures high-quality, high-performance products, specially designed to be abrasion resistant, durable, slip resistant, waterproof and to retain their flexibility even in the coldest conditions.

Our safety boots are made of high-quality Elastopan® PU. This polyurethane incorporates millions of tiny air bubbles, which keep the boots lightweight and provide excellent insulation. Elastopan® is 100% PVC-free.

NORA boots are constructed without seams or joints with a material that does not crack to ensure that they are 100% waterproof.

Physical and mechanical qualities

Polyurethane has unique physical and mechanical qualities:

  • resistance to both high and low temperatures
  • high insulation power against cold
  • ability to absorb vibrations and energy
  • durability
  • comfort
  • lightness
  • flexibility even at low temperatures

Sustainable lightness

Sustainable lightness Studies conducted using LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methods have declared polyurethane to be an eco-friendly material. These studies establish and certify the impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle, starting from the resources used for its production through to a well-defined series of parameters such as GER (Gross Energy Requirement) and GWP100 (Global Warming Potential). This means there is reduced energy consumption for the production of the raw materials with minimum energy requirements in the production process.  There is a total absence of waste by-products and atmospheric emissions, making polyurethane a sustainable choice for our environment.
