What Do Anti-Static Shoes Do?
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.
Why Is Resistance to Hydrocarbons Important?
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 B0886 Clean?
Increase the life of your Portwest Base B0886 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.
