CCSi features this high quality footwear flex tester for the evaluation of the resistance to cracking, delamination, discoloration and upper—to—sole bond of the upper or sole material when subjected to repeated flexing in a “walking step” simulation. It is applicable to many types of footwear materials and upper—to—sole bonding methods.
The Model HT8682 may be used at standard laboratory temperatures or operated under subnormal temperatures and is specifically designed to be used with the Model HT8043 Refrigeration Chamber.
