Innovation Drives Footwear Industry Upgrade

JCC Modified Polyamide Hot-Melt Adhesive Achieves Breakthrough in Shoe Lining Applications

January 16, 2026 | Shanghai, China — As the demand for high-performance materials in footwear manufacturing continues to grow, JCC announced that its self-developed modified polyamide hot-melt adhesive has achieved significant progress in shoe lining applications, offering new opportunities for lighter, more comfortable, and more efficient footwear production.

According to JCC’s technical team, traditional shoe linings typically use latex adhesives, which have drawbacks such as long curing times, strong odors, and limited weather resistance. In contrast, JCC’s modified polyamide hot-melt adhesive can be applied directly to shoe lining surfaces via hot-melt processing and thermocompression, delivering superior performance and higher processing efficiency.

High Performance, High Efficiency: A Next-Generation Adhesive Solution

• Rapid Curing and Efficient Production: JCC’s hot-melt adhesive achieves near-instant curing under heat, significantly shortening the shoe lining bonding cycle and boosting overall production efficiency.

• Outstanding Durability and Weather Resistance: Optimized through a modified formulation, JCC’s adhesive maintains strong adhesion even under repeated bending and humid conditions, enhancing the long-term durability of the lining-to-upper interface.

• Eco-Friendly and Low Odor: Unlike solvent-based adhesives, JCC’s adhesive contains no added solvents and emits no volatile organic compounds, improving factory working conditions and enabling a greener production process.

Positive Industry Response

Trial applications by several footwear manufacturers indicate that using JCC’s modified polyamide adhesive to bond shoe linings improves overall comfort and edge adhesion while reducing production line rework rates by nearly 20%. One engineering manager from a leading domestic sports shoe manufacturer commented, “JCC’s technology not only enhances our production efficiency but also provides a solid foundation for improving product quality.”

Industry analysts suggest that as footwear increasingly demands lightweight, durable, and eco-friendly materials, innovative adhesives like JCC’s modified polyamide adhesive will play an increasingly important role throughout the shoe lining and broader footwear supply chain.

Looking Ahead: Driving Industry Upgrades

JCC stated that it will continue to optimize the formulation and application processes of its modified polyamide adhesive and expand its use to other footwear components, such as sockliners, tongues, and midsole composites, to meet diversified product design needs.

With ongoing advances in materials technology and deeper industry collaboration, JCC’s innovative adhesive solutions are poised to usher the footwear industry into a new era of high-efficiency, eco-friendly, and high-performance manufacturing.
