How often does the anti-static work shoes (conductive silk surface) need to be cleaned?

Anti-static shoes are one of the commonly used grounding methods for personnel in the EPA area. It is a basic anti-static equipment and a must-have item commonly used in production lines. It is often used in the production workshops and advanced laboratories of the microelectronics industry such as electronic semiconductor devices, electronic computers, electronic communication equipment and integrated circuits.

Anti-static shoes are made by adding anti-static materials to the soles and implanting conductive wires on the uppers. They have a conductive function and can lead the excess charges of the human body to the ground, avoiding the accumulation of charges and causing electrostatic discharge, thereby eliminating the human body. The effect of static electricity also effectively suppresses the dust generated by people walking in the clean room.


Anti-static shoes can be divided into anti-static PU shoes and anti-static PVC shoes according to their materials.


According to the category, it can be divided into anti-static conductive slippers, dust-free anti-static shoes and anti-static heel straps


The correct way to wear anti-static shoes:


1. Choose all-cotton socks, which are not only comfortable to wear, but also will not affect the release of static electricity. At the same time, the shoe size should be selected appropriately, not too large or too small;


2. There should be no foreign objects in the shoes, including insoles. When the insoles in the shoes are lined with insoles, it will affect the static charge carried by the human body to be smoothly conducted away;


3. Don't step on the heel when wearing anti-static shoes, otherwise it will affect the effect of real-time grounding of the human body;


4. The sole should be kept clean.


Daily cleaning measures for anti-static shoes:


1. Sticky mats should be placed at the entrance of the workshop to clean the soles of the staff to ensure that the soles of the staff's anti-static shoes are clean;


2. Pay attention to cleaning once a month when cleaning by yourself, and use neutral detergent to wash.
