Ny Endrika

Momba ny Fortex Asa Kiraro fiarovana

Fortex dia kiraro fiarovana tsy tantera-drano natao manokana ho an'ny tontolon'ny indostria misy risika ambony toy ny fahatairana amin'ny simika, ny loza avy amin'ny fifandonana, ary ny fanerena mekanika. Ny fanavaozana ao aminy dia ny fizotry ny fanamboarana miaraka amin'ny simika izay mampifamatotra ny singa polyurethane thermoplastic amin'ny fototra polyurethane nampidirina, ka mamorona rafitra iray tokana tsy misy manda-pametaham-batana. Anisan'ny singa tafiditra ao ny fiaro metatarsal, ny fiarovana ny kitrokely eo an-daniny, ary ny fanamafisana ny voditongotra. Ny endrika dia manome fanoherana amin'ny rano, ny simika, ny hydrocarbures, ny fanindronana, ary ny fibolisatra, sady maivana, ergonomika, ary mahomby amin'ny hafanana.

Fitaovana ho an'ny Mpanao Gazety

Fankasitrahana, mpikambana ao amin'ny ekipa ary antsipiriany teknika nomen'ny mpanao endrika.

Toetra Manokana: Engineered to redefine industrial performance, this boot features a quad-density co-injection system fusing PU and TPU into one seamless chassis. Anatomically mapped zones deliver lightweight shock absorption and targeted protection at key impact areas. A rigid heel stabilizes the foot on uneven terrain, while specialized outsoles ensure grip in extreme conditions. Cement-free bonding forms a waterproof, monolithic structure built for lasting durability and safety.
Refy & Fonosana: Product Dimensions (1 boot, size 42): 310 mm x 120 mm x 400 mm (height)
Package: 510 mm x 355 mm x 140 mm
Marika: Co-injected Footwear, TPU Reinforcement, Polyurethane Safety Boot, Cold Weather Protection, Ankle protection, Metatarsal Protection, Industrial Design, Injection Molding Innovation, Chemical Bonding, Work Boot
Teknolojia Famokarana: This safety boot is engineered through co-injection molding, chemically bonding high-density TPU reinforcement with a lightweight PU core to form a seamless, monolithic structure free from adhesives and delamination. Developed for sub-zero climates, the TPU formulation maintains elasticity at -40°C, ensuring impact resistance without brittleness. Precision tooling guarantees exact reinforcement placement, delivering targeted protection, thermal stability, and durability without added bulk.
Fanamby Endrika: The principal challenge was achieving reliable co-molding between TPU and a PU base, ensuring sufficient bonding strength in the metatarsal insert located within the boot’s primary flex zone. This required rethinking rotary-injection machine & tooling: a system allowing a pre-molded TPU insert to seat in an articulated receiver moving in frontal-transverse planes before mold closure and PU injection. Constraints included production feasibility, material behavior, wearer comfort and international safety standard requirements.
Fikarohana: This applied industrial research explored polymer chemistry and precision engineering to eliminate adhesion failure and cold embrittlement in safety footwear. Using iterative prototyping and destructive testing, high-density TPU was co-injected with a cellular PU core to form a monolithic structure. Hundreds of bonding and sub-zero wear tests led to a cement-free boot with permanent molecular fusion, zero delamination, and full CSA, ASTM, and EN/ISO compliance.
Aingam-panahy: This project merges heritage craftsmanship with advanced material science, transforming traditional footwear into an integrated high-performance system with protection embedded in its structural DNA. Inspired by biological exoskeletons, it acts as both protective shell and load-bearing frame. Rib-cage inspired arch geometry in the metatarsal zone disperses impact while preserving flexibility, creating a biomimetic system balancing safety and ergonomic performance.
Faharetan'ny Tetikasa: Designing started in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada in Dec. 2023. Engineering started in Legnaro, Padova, Italy in September 2024 with GGS, an elite Italian mold-making partner lead by M. Roberto Gobbato.
Fizotr'asa: This safety boot functions as a flexible exoskeleton, flexing at the forefoot while stabilizing the heel. TPU reinforcements shield the metatarsal area and ankle from impact without limiting movement. Unlike cemented footwear, its PU and TPU components are co-injected and chemically fused into a single monolithic structure, eliminating delamination. Built for harsh industrial and cold environments, it delivers long-term durability, reliability, and consistent performance.
