nora® Lunatec combi T1 is a three layer vulcanised expanded EVA composite sheet developed for orthopaedic insoles and foot beddings requiring excellent cushioning, shear force reduction, and reliable stabilising support. The material combines three EVA layers with different hardness levels that are permanently fused during manufacturing, creating a smooth transition between layers without the need for adhesive bonding.
The special design of nora® Lunatec combi T1 features a softer middle layer embedded between two firmer layers. This structure reduces shear forces during walking and relieves stress on the musculoskeletal system. The result is improved comfort, excellent damping properties, and effective pressure distribution, making the material particularly suitable for rheumatic, diabetic, and highly sensitive feet.
Because the layers are vulcanised together during production, the composite sheet offers consistent quality, clean processing, and reliable performance without displacement, glue lines, or hardening caused by adhesive films.
