What kind of foam is Aosolite?

Aosolite is an innovative foam material with a unique open cell foaming process that gives it remarkable breathability and antimicrobial properties, which are especially prominent in applications such as shoe insoles. A few of the key benefits of Aosolite are analyzed in detail below:

Excellent Breathability: Through the open cell foaming technology of ACF Labs, Aosolite has formed countless delicate holes on the surface, which allow air to circulate freely, forming the so-called "millions of holes circulating and breathing" effect. This design allows the insole to quickly expel hot and humid air from the shoe, keeping the interior environment dry and comfortable, effectively reducing the stuffy feeling caused by long time wearing.

POWERFUL WICK: In addition to being breathable, Aosolite has excellent wicking properties. It quickly absorbs and locks in the sweat produced by the foot, preventing it from accumulating inside the shoe, thus keeping the upper dry. This feature is especially important for people who need to walk or exercise for long periods of time, as it effectively reduces the dryness, heat and discomfort caused by moisture in the feet.

Anti-bacterial and anti-odor function: As Aosolite has added anti-bacterial factor in the raw material, it can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria for a long time, and with the open-pore structure, it can absorb sweat quickly and keep the inside of the shoes dry, which to a certain extent also reduces the odor generated by bacterial activity. Therefore, Aosolite insoles help to keep the environment inside the shoes fresher than other insoles.

Advantage over traditional materials: Compared with traditional insole materials such as EVA, PU, silicone, PolyU, Hippolyte, Vigorous Mian and so on, Aosolite shows obvious advantages in breathability, anti-bacteria, sweat absorption, and anti-odor, etc. EVA and other materials, though also have a certain degree of elasticity and durability, tend to be less breathable and absorbent than Aosolite; and silicone, though waterproof, is better, but its breathability and moisture absorption are relatively poor. waterproof, but its breathability and moisture absorption are relatively poor. Therefore, Aosolite is undoubtedly a more ideal choice in application scenarios that require a high degree of attention to foot comfort and health.

As you can see, Aosolite, as an innovative foam material, is particularly suitable for making high-performance insoles and other products that require good breathability and moisture absorption due to its excellent breathability, strong water absorption and anti-odor function. It not only significantly improves the wearer's comfort experience, but also helps to maintain foot health and minimize various discomfort problems caused by prolonged wear.
