  • 2D Printing

    Aliphatic polyurethane used for digital printing that allows automation and precise application of adhesives, allowing greater freedom of design.

  • TPU

    Used in soles, midsoles, uppers and embellishments, the Desmopan® line is made up of polyurethane thermoplastics (TPU) partially made with raw materials from renewable sources such as biomass and CO₂.
