Hi Forum,

This is my first post, although I have used the answers in other threads. I am currently looking for a polymer that will give superb abrasion resistance for use as a stud tip material in footwear. We normally use a polyester TPU of about 90 Shore A. But we are currently looking to find a material that has these characteristics, if not better, and will adhere to a Pebax neck. We have tried polyether based TPU's but they do not seem to offer the joint adhesion nor the abrasion resistance..... any ideas??
