  • Adhesive system
    Patent number: 5569527
    Abstract: Adhesive system for forming a resilient boxtoe structure. The system includes a coated substrate and a solution having a pH greater than 7.0 for activating the coating. Upon activation, the coating becomes tacky, enabling it to adhere to the upper and lining portions of the shoe to form a boxtoe. The coating is an acid copolymer which retains its modulus upon activation and assures a strong bond between the upper and lining of the shoe. It is preferred that the solution be an aqueous solution including additives such as ammonia to assure a pH exceeding 7.0.
