Customization

Made to order: density, thickness, colour and shape to your drawing. Die-cutting, CNC routing, lamination to film or fabric, slitting and adhesive coating all run in-house, so the part we quote is a finished part, not just a sheet. How a custom part is cut and routed explains what to send with the drawing.

Regular material: MOQ 1,000 m², lead time 15–20 days from order confirmation. Custom parts are quoted from the drawing. A4 samples are free, shipping included.

Disposable slipper foam is the sheet a single-use slipper is built from – the sole, and on lighter styles the whole upper. Bofeng Foam produces it in XPE or IXPE at 3 mm to 6 mm with an embossed square or grid pattern, which is what gives the sole its grip and its finished look.

Features

Very light: at these densities a finished slipper weighs almost nothing, which is the point for a product that is worn once and discarded.
Embossed surface: the square or grid pattern provides grip on a tiled bathroom floor and gives the sole a finished appearance straight off the press.
Closed-cell and dry: the foam absorbs very little water, so the slipper does not become heavy or unhygienic in a wet bathroom.
Three densities: 15× (66 kg/m³), 20× (50 kg/m³) and 25× (40 kg/m³), to trade durability against cost.
Predictable to convert: the sheet die-cuts, embosses and welds consistently, which suits high-volume automated slipper lines.
Low unit cost: the material is inexpensive at volume, which is what makes a single-use product viable.

Applications

Hotel guest room slippers
Hospital wards and operating theatres, where single-use avoids cross-infection risk
Beauty salons, spas and barber shops
Airline and rail travel kits
Guest slippers for the home

Specifications for disposable slipper foam

A disposable slipper is a thin, soft sole that has to be cut cheaply and feel comfortable for a short stay.

Foam	Expansion	Apparent density	Single-layer thickness	Why this grade
IXPE	30–40×	26.8–33.3 kg/m³	0.1–15 mm	The lightest band, soft underfoot and economical, and it die-cuts cleanly at speed.
XPE	25–35×	28.6–40 kg/m³	3–15 mm	Firmer sole for a reusable slipper or a hotel-grade pair.

Why Choose Bofeng Foam

We supply disposable slipper foam at 15×, 20× or 25× foaming in 3 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm, in white, black or gray, with square or grid embossing, and to a colour and pattern made to order. The base materials are described on the XPE foam and IXPE foam pages; XPE is the usual choice where cost drives the decision, IXPE where a finer, softer surface is wanted.
