Croslite
Croslite is a proprietary closed-cell resin material developed by Crocs, Inc. It is the primary material used in the manufacturing of their signature footwear. The material is characterized by its lightweight, non-marking, odor-resistant, and slip-resistant properties. It is also designed to be comfortable and shock-absorbent, providing cushioning for the wearer. The manufacturing process involves injecting this resin into molds to create the distinct shapes of Crocs shoes, including the popular clogs. Croslite is often mistaken for rubber or plastic, but it is a unique composite with a distinct cellular structure that contributes to its buoyancy and cushioning. The material's properties make it suitable for a range of activities, from casual wear to water-based recreation. Crocs has extensively patented the use of Croslite in their footwear, making it a distinctive feature of the brand. While primarily known for its use in Crocs shoes, the material's versatile characteristics have led to its application in other related products by the company.
