SHINCELL Showcases Breakthrough Green Foaming Technology at NW Materials Show 2025 in the U.S.

August 30, 2025 – Portland, OR – SHINCELL, a pioneer in sustainable polymer foaming technology, successfully presented its latest innovations at the NW Materials Show Exhibition, held in the United States on August 27–28, 2025. The company highlighted its Supercritical CO₂ + N₂ (SCF) Foaming Technology, a green and high-performance solution designed for footwear applications, including insoles and midsoles.

Since 2019, SHINCELL has been committed to developing lightweight, durable, and eco-friendly foam materials using supercritical gas foaming processes. The company collaborates with leading global sports brands such as adidas, Li-Ning, Anta, and ASICS, providing advanced foam solutions for performance footwear.

Why SHINCELL SCF Foams Stand Out

• High Energy Return: Up to 90% rebound, delivering lightweight and long-lasting cushioning ideal for high-performance shoes.
• Sustainability: Exclusively uses a mix of CO₂ and N₂ as foaming agents, without any chemical additives during the process.
• Recyclability: Non-crosslinked foams enable waste material to be remade into new foam sheets on-site, supporting circular economy practices. Bio-based options with up to 44% Pebax content are also available.

Advancements in Foaming Technology

At the exhibition, SHINCELL demonstrated what can be achieved through its Sheets Foaming Technology and 3D Block Foaming Technology, showcasing physical property data across TPU, TPEE, and Pebax materials. These processes enable superior durability, cushioning, and ball resilience—critical for athletic footwear performance.

Proven on the Global Stage

SHINCELL’s materials have already made their mark on professional sports. At the London Marathon 2024, top athletes including Alexander Mutiso Munyao (Men’s Champion) and Peres Jepchirchir (Women’s Champion) secured victories wearing adidas running shoes powered by SHINCELL foams.

With its strong focus on sustainability, performance, and innovation, SHINCELL’s participation in the NW Materials Show underscores its mission: “Committed to Sustainable Foaming Technology.”
