polyurethane powder (coating) according to the references presented --
polyurethane powder (coating) is used to coat metallic products -"rubber for flip-flops" does not appear to be a metallic product

I wonder is the pó de cepo used to finish the havaianas? Or as a component in the material used to make the havaianas? See this link: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/230396116_Wood_flou...
Mario Freitas Sep 24, 2020:
Indeed it's not clear, however, "cepo" is necessarily wood, more specifically, wood from the stub or whatever is left when you cut a tree. https://www.google.com.br/search?client=firefox-a&biw=1198&b...
Colin Bowles Sep 24, 2020:
A little bit more context might help...
Colin Bowles Sep 24, 2020:
Not clear how wood would be used in the flip flop manufacturing process...
Não será pau de sebo, greasy pole?

polyurethane powder (coating)

Hi, Judith.

This appears to be polyurethane block turned into powder (I don't know how they do it), which is then used as a type of finishing.

Some examples for you below:
