Why Do I Need Insulation?
Working in cold conditions can be hard on the feet. By trapping the air molecules, the insulation is able to block out the entrance of the cold outside air, also preventing heat from escaping the inside of the boots, keeping your feet nice and warm. At the same time, the heat insulation properties of the B0880 protect the feet from getting injured when in contact with extremely high temperatures.
How Do Anti-Static Boots 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.
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.
How Do I Keep My Portwest Base B0880 Clean?
Increase the life of your Portwest Base B0880 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.
