Light as air. Solid as titanium.
AIRENIUM was born from the need to find a material capable of overcoming the limits of traditional PU and EVA: lighter, higher-performing, more sustainable. A concrete answer to the needs of luxury brands.
Since 1987, Tre Zeta Group has been developing materials and processes for sole production. AIRENIUM is the result of decades of applied research: a hybrid material that redefines the concept of engineered lightness, without compromising the quality of the finished product.
Density between 0.22 and 0.24 g/cm³: less weight on the sole, no compromise on design.
Top-level rebound, compression set and tearing performance. Lightness does not compromise durability.
Hybrid TPU/PU composition, enabling the recycling of both production waste and the entire finished sole.
Airenium stands apart from today’s low-density materials on the market, such as PU and EVA, thanks to innovative characteristics that meet the highest quality standards required by the industry:
01.
With a density between 0.22 and 0.24 g/cm³, the material makes it possible to reduce sole weight without limiting design freedom, positioning it as an alternative to today’s lightweight materials such as PU and EVA.
02.
Its lightness, combined with the material’s flexibility, ensures the essential comfort performance required by the market.
03.
The possibility of using vacuum TPU film technology makes it possible to maintain an unmatched quality standard in aesthetic and tactile finishes within the lightweight materials currently available on the market.
04.
Despite the material’s lightness, its excellent rebound, compression set and tearing performance ensure the highest standards of quality and durability.
05.
The use of polyurethane colour pastes combined with TPU films allows for midsoles with unlimited colour possibilities and consistent colour uniformity, eliminating the marbling or clouding typically found in super-expanded materials.
06.
Unlike the EVA compounds currently in use, the extreme lightness achieved through a controlled expansion process in a closed mould ensures dimensional stability over time.
Tre Zeta Group has developed a GRS-certified compounding regeneration process that transforms waste from soles made with AIRENIUM into new TPU with up to 50% recycled content. A closed-loop system where nothing goes to waste.
A versatile material, designed to meet the most diverse production needs in the world of luxury footwear.
01.
Lightness and comfort for sport-luxury and lifestyle footwear. AIRENIUM delivers technical performance and aesthetic precision without compromising on low weight. Elegance with unlimited colour possibilities. Vacuum TPU film and polyurethane pastes enable unmatched tactile and aesthetic finishes.
02.
Strength and lightness for intense pace and challenging surfaces. AIRENIUM supports real-world loads without structural failure, even in extreme conditions of use. Its calibrated density ensures consistent performance, from daily training to the most demanding activities.
