ESD shoes soles are usually made of PU or PVC raw materials, and then integrated molding with the shoes upper face, and then on-line reinforcement. According to different raw material soles, we call it ESD PU shoes or ESD PVC shoes,which have good function of ESD protection.
How do you tell if safety shoes are ESD?
This involves an employee standing on a conductive shoe testing electrode while wearing the safety footwear. The resistance is measured when they place their hand on a metal plate. If the measured contact resistance is less than 35 megaohm, the shoes are ESD capable.
How do I know if my shoes have ESD?
What is ESD equipment?
In a more precise light, ESD equipment is an umbrella term that describes an almost-endless variety of tools, garments, machines, and infrastructure that are used in electrostatically-sensitive environments. These ESD-sensitive environments include more than just manufacturing facilities with computer parts.
