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. The B0895 Be-Dry Boots shoes have been designed to adjust to the addition of orthopaedic insoles while still maintaining the requirements of the EN ISO 20345 standard.
Why Do I Need Heat Insulation?
Working in cold or hot 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. Similarly, in cases of extreme heat, the boots provide insulation from temperatures reaching up to 150°C.
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 B0895 Clean?
Increase the life of your Portwest Base B0895 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.
