FEATURED SOLUTION
In the late 1990s, UPACO chemists noticed customers were increasingly frustrated by the existing process of sole attachment within the footwear industry. For decades, the industry applied what was essentially a wet cement product that adhered shoe elements together. UPACO's EcoBond adhesive film reduced the traditional 10 step process down to three simple steps. No roughing. No priming. No Hazardous Chemicals.
