Re-inventing Sports Shoe Soles: How I R Tubes Pvt Ltd is driving Performance and Durability

At I R Tubes Pvt Ltd, we believe that every detail in the manufacturing of rubber compounds plays a critical role in delivering outstanding performance and durability. Our expertise in chemical formulations and the advanced use of elastomers and processes in rubber moulding enables us to push the boundaries of innovation in sports shoe soles. Today, we delve into how our specialised products Dispergum 36, Robac AS 100 and Robac SC are transforming the way sports shoes are designed, offering superior strength, performance, and longevity.

The Science Behind Rubber Moulding

In sports footwear, rubber soles must deliver resilience, flexibility, and consistent performance under high stress. Elastomers —highly durable polymers are at the core of this challenge. But to unlock their full potential, the right combination of processing additives such as peptizers, dispersing agents and curing agents must be used.

It’s not just about making rubber—it’s about controlling how it behaves under pressure, temperature, and time. That’s where Dispergum 36, Robac AS 100 and Robac SC make an impact.

Dispergum 36: Mastering Mastication and Dispersion

Dispergum 36 is a high-efficiency chemical peptizer that supports controlled mastication, ensuring optimal polymer breakdown and consistent viscosity across batches.This uniformity results in better filler dispersion, which in turn enhances tensile strength, flexibility, and durability. Dispergum 36 is especially suited for Natural Rubber (NR), SBR, and BR-based formulations which are commonly used in sports shoes.

Robac AS 100: Safe and Efficient Acceleration

Robac AS 100 is chemically diisopropyl Xanthogen polysulphide. This is completely free from nitrogen, phosphorus and metallic elements. It is especially useful in rubber formulations where the formation of N-Nitrosamines are a prime concern.

Robac SC: Precision-Controlled Rubber Curing

Robac SC compliments the action of Robac AS 100 by offering a safer accelerator system that helps achieve high curing efficiency without compromising on processing safety. Ideal for complex mouldings like layered or multi-colored soles, Robac SC enhances scorch safety by extending scorch time, reducing the risk of premature curing.

Replacing traditional TBzTD systems, Robac SC, provides predictable curing kinetics and ensures consistent performance throughout the lifespan of the shoe. Robac SC only generates safe nitrosamines offering a significant health and environmental safety improvement over conventional accelerators.

Built to Perform: The Elastomer Advantage

With the combined performance of, Dispergum-36, Robac AS 100, and Robac SC the resulting rubber compound demonstrates:

  • Better Physical properties such as abrasion resistance
  • Superior durability under high-impact conditions
  • Improved safety during processing
  • Greater consistency in compound quality


These benefits translate into sports shoe soles that are reliable, high-performing, and built to last—both for professional athletes and daily wear users.
