The needs of consumers continue to drive the development of the footwear industry, which is a diversified industry with a variety of styles using a wide range of materials and requiring a number of different production processes. For the production of footwear, not only the product safety and high quality are required, but also the public environment is responsible for the production process. This makes footwear testing and quality assurance a demanding and professional process.
Based on the safety and quality of the products, Alfa Chemistry provides you with inspection services in accordance with CPSIA (the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act), REACH and other requirements to verify that your products meet global requirements and standards.

Tensile Testing Machine
The tensile testing machine is used to test the tensile strength and tear resistance of shoes, which is crucial for evaluating the durability and safety of footwear.
Finished Shoe Bending Tester
The finished shoe bending tester (heel lift) is used to test the flexural resistance of finished shoes, particularly the sole. By setting a specific number of test cycles, it simulates the bending conditions in daily use to check for damage to the shoes and soles, such as cracking, to assess the quality and durability of the shoes.
GC-MS
The gas chromatograph and thermal desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) are used to analyze the chemical components in shoe materials, ensuring that shoes meet safety standards and are free from harmful substances.
Abrasion Tester and Hydrolysis Tester
The abrasion tester and hydrolysis tester are used to assess the wear resistance and hydrolysis stability of shoes, which is especially important for highly durable footwear like outdoor sports shoes.
Water Vapor Permeability Tester
The water vapor permeability tester is used to measure the breathability of shoes, which is essential for keeping feet dry and ensuring comfort.
