Quick Summary for Footwear & Oleochemical Buyers
High-resilience (HR) PU footwear materials are supplied as an A/B two-component system (a polyol component plus an isocyanate/prepolymer component) for slippers, safety shoes and midsole/insock applications, with typical density 0.35-0.60 g/cm³, hardness 45-65 Shore A and rebound resilience of at least 45%. Ocean transit from Ningbo to Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) is typically 8-14 days, varying by carrier and sailing schedule. Bio-based methyl oleate (Methyl Oleate, CAS 112-62-9) with typical ester content of at least 98% is used as an industrial lubricant and processing aid, in metalworking fluids and as a surfactant feedstock. Under the China-ASEAN free trade agreement, goods that meet the origin rules can be declared under the prevailing agreement rate, and the applicable rate depends on HS classification and the current tariff schedule; DOBO provides documentation support including certificate of origin (Form E).
1. Direct Overview
Indonesia's footwear clusters — including Jakarta, Bekasi, Tangerang and the Cibaduyut cluster in Bandung — require HR sole combination materials that balance rebound resilience, abrasion resistance and tear strength for slippers, safety shoes and midsole/insock production. Consistent polyol reactivity and prepolymer NCO content are essential to avoid cell collapse, voids and unstable demould times on continuous and batch moulding lines. In parallel, methyl oleate is a bio-based intermediate used in industrial lubricants, metalworking fluids, surfactants and oleochemical processing, giving footwear and oleochemical buyers a single sourcing channel for both performance systems and bio-based feedstocks.
2. Typical HR Footwear System Properties
The values below are representative of a standard high-resilience footwear system and may be adjusted to match mould design and final product targets.
| Property | Typical value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Density (g/cm³) | 0.35-0.60 | Free-foamed finished part |
| Hardness (Shore A) | 45-65 | Adjusted by formulation and density |
| Rebound resilience (%) | ≥ 45 | ASTM D2632 |
| Tensile strength (MPa) | ≥ 6.0 | ASTM D412 |
| Elongation at break (%) | ≥ 450 | ASTM D412 |
| Split tear (N/mm) | ≥ 6.0 | ASTM D470 |
| Abrasion (mm³) | ≤ 250 | DIN 53516 |
| Cream time (s) | 6-10 | Material temperature 25°C |
| Demould time (s) | 120-300 | Adjusted by mould temperature and catalyst |
The values above are typical and vary with formulation, mould temperature and foaming conditions.

4. Packaging, Form E Documentation & Transit to Jakarta
- Packaging: PU systems in 220 kg drums and 1,000 kg IBCs; methyl oleate in 200 kg drums, 1,000 kg IBCs, flexibags and 24,000 L ISO tanks for bulk volumes.
- Typical ocean transit from Ningbo to Tanjung Priok (Jakarta): 8-14 days, varying by carrier and sailing schedule; Semarang and Belawan follow similar routing.
- Documents per shipment: batch COA, TDS, SDS, commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading, and certificate of origin (Form E) for China-ASEAN preferential tariff treatment where the goods qualify.
- Importers should verify the applicable HS code, the current ASEAN tariff schedule, and any Indonesian import licensing requirements (for example registration for finished footwear) with their customs broker.
