Although newly established in 2019 in Quan Chi, KPU has affirmed its position in quality when accompanying the European safety shoe and work shoe brand – Jalas. KPU is a type of polyurethane, which can simply be called plastic. PU is an abbreviation for Polyurethane, so in somewhere KPU is called PU for short. Because, by simply modifying the formula, we can get different physical properties such as density, elasticity, hardness. Currently, KPU has largely replaced insulation with traditional fiberglass, wood and rubber products. PU is divided into CPU (Poured Polyurethane Elastomer) and TPU.
