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.
Keep Your Feet Safe From High Temperatures
Capable of withstanding extreme temperatures reaching up to 300°C for 1 minute, the B0888 Boots provide crucial and immediate protection against unexpected exposure to heat. They also provide insulation of up to 150°C and prevent the feet from getting too hot.
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.
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.
