PVC Granules for Slippers Clips Straps

                      Why is modified PVC widely used in flip-flop straps?

The straps of flip-flops (the ones that our toes rest on) need to meet a series of strict requirements. 

Pure PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is hard and brittle and thus unsuitable. 

However, after modification, PVC, by adding various additives, perfectly meets these requirements. 

The main reasons are as follows

1.Excellent plasticity and softness (the most crucial reason) 

Modification method: By adding plasticizers (such as DOP and DOA), 

the softness and hardness of PVC can be significantly adjusted. 

The benefits: It can be made to have any texture ranging from extremely soft to moderately firm, 

ensuring comfort and preventing blisters when it comes into contact with the toes during walking. 

This adjustability is unmatched by many other materials. 

2.Excellent processing performance 

Processing method: Modified PVC is highly suitable for injection molding. 

Melted PVC can be quickly and precisely injected into the mold, 

forming a complete strap with a tongue (the small peg that connects the sole) in one step, 

with extremely high production efficiency. 

3.Low cost: PVC resin is a common chemical product and has a low price. 

The highly efficient injection molding process further reduces the cost of individual products, 

which is crucial for fast-moving consumer goods like flip-flops. 

4.Outstanding durability and physical properties 

5.Flexibility resistance: When wearing flip-flops and walking, the straps need to withstand tens of thousands of repeated bends. 

The modified PVC has excellent fatigue resistance and is unlikely to break. 

6.High strength and toughness: Capable of withstanding a certain pulling force, preventing breakage due to accidental hooking. 

7.Durability: The friction with the toe will not easily wear down the surface of the drag strap. 

8.Rich design and color expression capabilities 

PVC can be easily mixed to produce any color, including bright and vivid colors, transparent colors, semi-transparent colors, and metallic effects. 

The surface treatment is simple and can produce various effects such as glossy, matte, and leather-like textures, meeting the demands of fashion design. 

9.Good anti-slip property and tactile feel 

By adjusting the formula and the surface treatment of the mold, the surface of the PVC traction belt can be made to 

have an appropriate friction force, preventing the toes from slipping and enhancing the wearing stability. 

In summary: The reason why modified PVC has become the mainstream choice is that

it achieves the best balance among cost, comfort, durability, processing efficiency and 

design flexibility, making it an extremely cost-effective material.
