IntroductionGEL is a unique substance existing between solid and liquid states. Its distinct physical properties give it a natural advantage in handling "instantaneous impact forces." In Aybroad’s R&D philosophy, GEL is more than just an aesthetic feature; it is a precision defense system designed for high-stress zones like the heel and forefoot, providing users with a dynamic cushioning experience akin to "walking on water."
Physical Characteristics: Fluid-like Protective Displacement
The core value of GEL materials lies in their isotropic energy dissipation capabilities. When the heel strikes the ground, creating a sharp impact, the GEL molecules displace like a fluid, converting a concentrated pressure point into uniform surface pressure. This characteristic makes it exceptional in sports protection, significantly reducing the risk of injuries such as plantar fasciitis. Additionally, GEL possesses a natural cooling sensation, providing immediate relief for fatigued feet.
Aybroad’s Leading Manufacturing: Advanced Overmolding Process
The most common quality issue with GEL products is delamination. Aybroad utilizes leading Double Injection (Overmolding) technology, where the thermoplastic elastomer (TPR/GEL) is injected directly onto the pre-fabricated insole substrate within the mold. This molecular-level bond requires no chemical adhesives, fundamentally eliminating the risk of the GEL shifting or detaching during intense activity.
We maintain rigorous standards for formula stability. Aybroad’s GEL insoles remain soft and elastic even at -20°C, without hardening or cracking. This is achieved through strict selection of plasticizers and polymer chains, ensuring the product remains non-leaking, non-greasy, and stable throughout its lifecycle.
Applications & Customization
GEL is widely utilized in professional sports insoles, localized pressure relief pads for high heels, and protective inserts for diabetic footcare. Aybroad offers multi-color layered injection, allowing for customized functional zones in various shapes and colors to enhance brand identity and professional appeal.
