🎄 Tree-Planting Challenge Accepted! 🌱

Thank you to .schokolade for nominating us for the Tree-Planting Challenge! We gladly accepted the challenge and planted a small Christmas tree – decorated with miniature shoelasts. A thank you also goes to 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀, who partnered with us on this action.

Now we’re passing the challenge on and nominating our neighbor – the Heinrich Kimmle Stiftung – as well as our partner .

You now have one week to plant your own tree and become part of the Tree-Planting Challenge. Have fun and good luck! If you don’t manage to complete it, we have a “alternative challenge” for you:

- Heinrich Kimmle Stiftung – if you don’t plant your tree, we kindly request a Christmas serenade from you. Video messages are of course welcome!🎤🎄
- – As Wawi put it: “Chocolate brings people together!” So, your “penalty” is to hand out chocolate Santas at Horeb School.🍫🎅

Let’s keep the spirit of joy, sustainability, and collaboration alive!

💡 Spotlight on · Footwear Testing Methods · Melt volume rate

The melt volume rate test determines the strength of pressure and degree of heat the material can handle. It helps to steer the setting for manufacturing of the material.

What is measured: It is measured how fast the material is flowing through the 2mm injection pipe, using the melt volume rate (MVR) cm3/10min. Viscosity is a measure of the viscosity of a fluid. The reciprocal of viscosity is fluidity, a measure of the flowability of a fluid. The higher the viscosity, the more viscous (less flowable) the fluid is; the lower the viscosity, the more thin (more flowable) it is.

Interpretation of test result: With the results the injection machine can be calibrated and set to the right parameters for the corresponding material. Thus, the information helps to avoid high material waste during the preperation time of an injection machine.

Tested materials and components: The test is done with all new delivered materials or to control certain materials already in use if something is not set right in the injection parameters.

💡 Spotlight on · Footwear Testing Methods · Water content analysis

The water content test is an important test to assess manufacturability of a material. The test determines the material's water content. If a material has a wrong content, this could cause processing problems.

What is measured: A sensor in the reactor is measuring the concentration in % of the hydrogen as soon as the concentration value stabalizes.

Interpretation of test result: You can say, the higher the concentration of hydrogen, the more water the material was containing. Each material has a specific water content which must be further processed. Depending on the water content, footwear component manufacturers decide if the material needs to be further dried before processing or not. This is all done to ensure manufacturability and also sustainable matter, to not waste matreial in production.

Tested materials and components: This test is done with all kind of raw materials, e.g., TPE, PEBA, and PA.

💡 Spotlight on · Footwear Testing Methods · Migration test

Avoidance of color diffusion from a material to either other shoe components or consumer feet.

What is measured: Optical appearance of color diffusion from the test specimen transferred to a PVC testing foil.

Interpretation of test result: The test can be considered as passed when the material specimen is not discoloured by the PVC testing foil.

Tested materials and components: Can be done with multiple of materials.

💡 Spotlight on · Footwear Testing Methods · Hydrolisis test

Performance footwear must withstand extreme weather conditions. That could be a lot of rain, humidity, or wet ground. The hydrolysis test simulates those extreme wet conditions exposing a material and determine the change of mechanical and color properties through artifical aging.

What is measured: Mechanical and optical properties before and after the test.

Interpretation of test result: To evaluate the result comparison to different material specifications, pictures of the material (before and after) are added to the test report. Also the specimens are checked on their appearance if there have been changes after the hydrolysis. There should be no visible changes. Material defects from hydrolysis could be color leaks, porosity or impairment of mechanical properties.

Tested materials and components: The hydrolysis test is used on all upper and bottom materials containing PU because this material contains softeners. Those softeners can vaporize during the process of hydrolysis which would make the material hard and brittle.

💡 Spotlight on · Footwear Testing Methods · UV test

To see how the external footwear material changes after being exposed to UV rays from sunlight.

What is measured: The sample is compared to the grey scale after and prior test to determine a grade of discoloration intensity. The grey scale is divided in half and has 5 steps, starting with 5 (no discoloration) and ending with 1 (extreme discoloration).

Interpretation of test results: Generally speaking, the lower the value, the more intense is the discoloration after the test. The final interpretation of the result depends on the subjective assessment of footwear developers and designer involved. They set the acceptable grade of discoloration.

Tested materials and components: All components of footwear that are usually exposed to sunlight.
