Polyurethane adhesives are the total name of the adhesives which raw materials are PU resin.
There are several types of adhesive that can be used for shoes, depending on the material and the type of repair needed. Here are some commonly used adhesives for shoes: Polyurethane Adhesive,Surface Sizing Agent,Hot Melt Textile Adhesive,Pu Glue For Book Binding XUCHUAN CHEMICAL(SUZHOU) CO., LTD , https://www.xuchuanchem.com
My adhesives products are including flexible package adhesives and hot melting adhesives.
Flexible package adhesives can be used in the lamination of different films, such as OPP/PET/NY/AL and some other plastic films. Flexible package adhesives can be divided into solvent and solvent-free. They can also be segmented into different types due to their performance. For examples, boiling water resistance, steam resistance, fast curing, great matching with ink and so on.
Our hot melting adhesives are the moisture cured polyurethane resins. They can be used in textile lamination, plate joint, profile cladding and paper-plastic composition. Different series with different performance, such as high initial tack, good flowing property, good intensity and so on.
1. Shoe glue: This is a specialized adhesive designed specifically for shoe repairs. It is commonly used for bonding different shoe materials, such as leather, rubber, fabric, and vinyl. Shoe glue is flexible, durable, and waterproof.
2. Super glue: Also known as cyanoacrylate adhesive, super glue is a strong and fast-drying adhesive that can bond various materials, including shoes. However, it may not be suitable for all shoe materials, and it can become brittle over time.
3. Epoxy adhesive: Epoxy is a two-part adhesive that provides a strong and durable bond. It is commonly used for repairing soles, heels, and other shoe parts. Epoxy adhesive requires mixing the resin and hardener before application.
4. Contact cement: Contact cement is a strong adhesive that creates a bond when two surfaces are pressed together. It is commonly used for shoe repairs, especially for attaching soles. Contact cement is available in both water-based and solvent-based formulas.
5. Shoe repair tape: In some cases, shoe repair tape can be used as a temporary solution for minor repairs. It is a self-adhesive tape that can provide a quick fix until a proper repair can be done.
When using any adhesive for shoe repairs, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and ensure proper ventilation. Additionally, it is recommended to clean and prepare the surfaces to be bonded for better adhesion.
Celebrating a Collaborative Future at the Reimagined Smithsonian Arts + Industries Building
At Autodesk, we spend a lot of time thinking about the impact of technology on the future. It's natural to feel overwhelmed by the challenges of our time—climate change, social equity, and the resilience of our systems. But instead of focusing only on the risks, we choose to highlight the positive power of automation and artificial intelligence when used to support people in solving big problems.
Our goal is to create space for creativity, allowing people to tackle complex tasks while technology handles the repetitive and time-consuming work. This is the future of work we believe in.
To showcase this vision, we're excited to partner with the Smithsonian to bring an immersive experience called *FUTURES* to the historic Arts + Industries Building (AIB) this November. After nearly two decades of closure, the AIB is being reborn as a space for exploring ideas about the future. *FUTURES* is the museum’s first major building-wide exhibition, blending art, technology, design, and history to inspire visitors to imagine multiple possible futures.
As part of *FUTURES*, we created The Co-Lab, an interactive exhibit that allows visitors to build a sustainable community using Autodesk’s generative design technology. Guests take on different roles, each with unique goals and considerations like green space, transportation, public services, and employment. They collaborate with each other and with AI, adjusting inputs in real-time. The evolving community model is displayed instantly, showcasing the trade-offs involved in achieving different outcomes.
What excites me most is the opportunity for visitors to see how AI can enhance human decision-making through collaboration. Together, we can explore better ways of living, made possible by innovative design tools.
We’ve had a long relationship with the Smithsonian, including projects like 3D scanning the Apollo 11 command module and adding Smithsonian 3D models to Tinkercad. With *FUTURES*, we’re helping guests look ahead and experience what the future might hold.
Rachel Goslins, director of AIB and the project’s visionary, shared: “Since opening in 1881, the Arts + Industries Building has been a place to think big and dream bigger. With *FUTURES*, we’re teaming up with our visitors to imagine and create a future where we all thrive. Autodesk is the perfect partner to help visualize this impact.â€
The structure of the exhibit itself was designed using generative design, incorporating sustainable materials and modular components. It features a 22-foot-tall display supporting five large screens, built with minimal resources and maximum efficiency.
The Co-Lab was designed by The Living, an Autodesk Studio, and showcases the power of combining low-cost materials with high-tech design. It also includes a model of the Hyundai Elevate mobility vehicle, highlighting the role of generative design in real-world applications.
Inspired by the great World’s Fairs, the AIB has long been a place for innovation. As the nation celebrates its 175th anniversary, we’re proud to be part of its next chapter, helping shape the future together.
