Compared
to cellulose
|
| FLEXIBILITY |
The
textile structure of the material gives DIGO STAR 3000
a high level of flexibility making holes and incisions
unnecessary. |
|
|
BREATHABILITY
|
|
|
Absorption and de- absorption of water
|
The
tests performed* demonstrate the product's capacity
to absorb and release liquids (perspiration) with no
change in dimensions. |
|
|
Capillarity
|
The
micro-porous structure allows redistribution of perspiration
absorption from the most affected areas throughout the
surface of the insole. |
|
|
Permeability
and absorption of water vapour
|
The
high level of permeability and outstanding capacity
for absorbing water vapour complete the overall picture,
highlighting the product's exceptional BREATHABILITY. |
|
| DIMENSIONAL
STABILITY |
Excellent
results following the wet tests, with absence of swelling,
increased dimensions or contraction. |
|
| RESISTENCE
TO USE (ABRASION) |
The
tests highlight the excellent durability of the material*
and absence of flaking
|
|
| RESISTENCE
TO BENDING |
At
the end of the repeated bending tests the material shows
no sign of permanent creasing |
|
| BI-DIRECTIONAL
CUTTING |
The
product allows both vertical and horizontal cutting
(see details in
table) |

| DELAMINATION |
Complete
absence of delamination (flaking) under traction |
|
| ABSORPTION
OF STITCHING |
Allows
complete immersion of stitching offering superior comfort |
