High-definition polyurethane injection technology for the manufacture of seamless footwear. Less is more

What is it?

Nanoflash Technology® allows the manufacture of polyurethane material in thin layers and with very high definitions or level of detail.

With this new technology developed by the Grupo Morón reinforced textiles can be achieved with polyurethane parts, which offer more resistance and thus make seamless uppers or garments.

Seamless, no breaks and for longer

There are no seams, therefore there are no breaks in something that no longer exists. The new production process that this technology offers eliminates the seams of shoes and extends their life cycle. By removing the weakest areas of the product, the product is more durable.

High definition and design

Nanoflash Technology®, the high precision technology, allows very accurate models to be created with a minimum strip. Increase application and creation possibilities, with designs of any type and any colour.

Lightness, breathability and flexibility

The application of a smaller calibre polyurethane to any material allows lighter materials to be obtained. The upper, with a smaller calibre than common materials, provides flexibility, and is therefore more ergonomic and adapts to the body better.

Nanoflash Technology® can be used on any material, even those with high breathability, and increase the breathability of the material, adding comfort to the final product.

Clothing and footwear

Nanoflash Technology® makes it possible to obtain polyurethane protection reinforcements to increase resistance to parts of garments, shoe uppers or parts that suffer the most friction and wear. The direct injection on clothing increases the material’s tensile strength, resistance to tears and friction.

Nanoflash Technology® allows the application of polyurethane directly to the shoe upper and facilitates the vulcanization process by eliminating intermediate processes, and it ensures a much greater adherence than is currently available according to conventional processes.

The application of Nanoflash Technology® technology to the production of upper parts and components of seamless footwear is key because it allows the manufacture of new items that cannot be obtained with traditional production processes.

Production costs saving

With Nanoflash Technology® we make significant production cost savings. The direct injection, direct upper-to-sole bonding, the elimination of seams, direct and high-precision stamping, among other processes, eliminate high labour costs, both for the shoe upper and the manufacture of the shoe.

Benefits offered

• Greater resistance.
• More lightweight.
• Greater flexibility.
• More design possibilities.
• High definition to incorporate right up to the minimum detail.
• Less production costs.
• Less seam breaks.
• Maximum breathability.

Why choose it?

1	Because it is by the Grupo Morón. They have a manufacturer's warranty and can rely on all its business clout. Nanoflash Technology® is the result of the combination of the characteristics of an injection machine and know-how of textile materials and process parameters for this specific application.
2	Because unique patterns can be created. Nanoflash Technology® offers great freedom to design the pattern designing of each model. The technical capabilities of this fabric are not at odds with the design.
3	Because it saves time and money. By making footwear with the minimum parts possible, production times are slashed (in the cutting and manufacture of footwear). Also, complaints about seams breakages are prevented.
4	Because you can streamline processes. By being able to centralize everything with the same provider, Morón, all processes are shortened and simplified.

Sectors

The possibilities of applying Nanoflash Technology® to all sorts of products is huge and opens up new design possibilities in different sectors:

• Safety (Personal protective equipment, safety shoes, strengthening clothing, etc.).
• Fashion (Accessories, handbags, wallets, briefcases, gloves etc.).
• Recreation All kinds of equipment for sports such as football, mountain climbing, hiking, water sports, basketball, etc.).

Recommended treatments

Nanoflash Technology® parts are breathable, fireproof, water-repellent, antibacterial, resistant to ultraviolet rays, among many other physicochemical properties. Other treatments can also be added, according to need.
