Introduction
The wear resistance of sole materials is one of the important factors that determine the service life and comfort of the shoe. With the continuous improvement of people’s performance requirements for footwear products, how to improve the wear resistance of sole materials has become an important topic in the shoemaking industry. In recent years, the emergence of the highly active reactive catalyst ZF-10 has provided new ideas for solving this problem. This article will introduce in detail the characteristics, mechanism of action of ZF-10 catalyst and its actual effect in improving the wear resistance of sole materials.

ZF-10 can also form a protective film on the surface of the material, further enhancing its wear resistance and anti-aging properties.
III. Application of ZF-10 in sole materials
3.1 Application Process
- Material preparation: Mix ZF-10 with sole materials (such as rubber, polyurethane) in a certain proportion.
- Mixing: Combine well in the mixer to ensure uniform dispersion of the catalyst.
- Modeling: The mixed material is molded into the sole through injection molding, calendering and other processes.
- Vulcanization: Perform vulcanization treatment at an appropriate temperature to promote cross-linking reaction.
- Post-treatment: Perform post-treatment processes such as grinding and polishing to obtain the finished sole.

| Tear strength (kN/m) | 30 | 40 |
| Hardness (Shaw A) | 60 | 65 |
3.2.3 Anti-aging properties
The addition of ZF-10 also improves the anti-aging performance of the sole material and extends the service life of the shoe.
| Aging time (days) | Not added ZF-10 wear resistance (revolution) | Add 1.0% ZF-10 wear resistance (revolutions) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 5000 | 8000 |
| 30 | 4500 | 7500 |
| 60 | 4000 | 7000 |
| 90 | 3500 | 6500 |
