Safeguards Against Chemical Hazards
More than just a sturdy outer layer, the boot's sole is engineered with multiple lines of defence: it's not only resistant to punctures but also fortified against hydrocarbons and chemical hazards. Coupled with cutting-edge shock-absorbing technology in the heel, each step is designed to be both secure and comfortable.
What Is the Importance of Hydrocarbon Resistance?
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds comprised solely of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Shoes that are resistant to hydrocarbons offer essential protection when you're working with or around chemicals. Such footwear guards against the risks of skin irritations, allergic reactions, infections, and chemical burns, particularly when chemical leaks or spills occur.
What Is DGUV112-191 and What Does it Do?
It is a European standard that regulates foot and knee protective devices fitted with orthopaedic insole. Work footwear approved according to this directive allows orthopaedic devices to be used which maintain the requirements of standard EN ISO 20345 unchanged.
How Do Anti-Static Shoes Protect Me?
Footwear with anti-static capabilities effectively channels static electricity away from your body, directing it safely through the boot's inner sole, lining, and outer sole into the earth. This feature significantly reduces the build-up of static electricity, enhancing your safety in environments where static-related risks are a concern.
Non-Magnetic and Ferrous Free Material
Featuring a non-metallic yet sturdy material, the B0873 is resilient enough to withstand the toughest conditions. Being metal free, it also lessens the risk of environmental hazards.
How Do I Keep My Portwest Base B0873 Clean?
Increase the life of your Portwest Base B0873 by taking good care of them. Use only soft brushes and water. Do not use substances such as alcohol, thinners, gasoline, oil or any other chemicals. Keep the footwear, dry and clean, in a proper place at room temperature.
