ESD Shoe Materials
ESD shoes are widely used in industrial manufacturing. They conduct static electricity from the human body to the ground, thus eliminating static electricity and effectively suppressing dust generated by personnel walking in cleanrooms.
ESD shoes generally use anti-static materials such as PU or PVC for the sole, integrally molded with the upper and then reinforced with stitching. The finished shoes are aesthetically pleasing, stylish, and sturdy. PU/PVC shoes, in particular, have superior abrasion resistance, being more than 5 times more durable than ordinary rubber shoes.
ESD shoes are protective footwear that actively eliminates static electricity from the human body while preventing electric shocks of up to 250V. They are mainly suitable for locations where static electricity could cause combustion, explosion, or any other hazards. ESD shoes should be used in conjunction with anti-static clothing. During use, a resistance test should generally be performed every 200 hours. If the resistance is outside the specified range, the shoes cannot be used as ESD shoes.
