Polyurethane, Elastopan®️
provided by BASF
Elastopan® in cooperation with BASF of Germany, a world leader in materials science, offers virtually unlimited freedom in terms of design, colour and structure.
Elastopan® polyurethane ensures high quality, high performance products, specially designed to be abrasion resistant, durable, slip resistant, waterproof and to retain their flexibility even in the coldest conditions.
Our safety boots are made of high-quality Elastopan® PU. This polyurethane incorporates millions of tiny air bubbles, which keep the boots lightweight and provide excellent insulation. Elastopan® is 100% PVC-free.
NORA boots are constructed without seams or joints with a material that does not crack to ensure 100% waterproofness.

Physical and mechanical qualities
Sustainable lightness
Polyurethane has unique physical and mechanical qualities:
- resistance to both high and low temperatures
- high insulation power against cold
- ability to absorb vibrations and energy
- durability
- comfort
- lightness
- flexibility even at low temperatures
Studies conducted using LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methods have declared polyurethane to be an eco-friendly material. These studies establish and certify the impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle on the environment, starting from the resources used for its production through a well-defined series of parameters such as GER (Gross Energy Requirement) and GWP100 (Global Warming Potential).
In short:
- reduced energy consumption for the production of raw materials
- minimum energy requirement in the production process
- total absence of waste by-products, atmospheric emissions and discharges.
