Do You Know the Use and Maintenance Specifications of Esd Shoes?

ESD Shoes are a special type of footwear that can be used to control and prevent the generation and accumulation of static electricity, and prevent static electricity from damaging sensitive materials such as electronic components, fuel and chemicals. This article will introduce the principles, functions, types and how to use and maintain anti-static shoes correctly.

Static electricity refers to the electric field generated by the uneven distribution of charges on the surface of an object. In a dry environment, when the human body comes into contact with an object through friction, contact, etc., static electricity will be generated. This static electricity may damage sensitive materials such as electronic components, fuel and chemicals, and may also affect human health. The principle of ESD Shoes is to use special materials and structures to prevent the shoes from accumulating static electricity, or to conduct the generated static electricity through conductive materials to achieve the purpose of controlling and preventing static electricity.

The main function of ESD Shoes is to control and prevent static electricity from damaging sensitive materials such as electronic components, fuel and chemicals. In some special working environments, such as electronic factories, hospital operating rooms, and dangerous goods transportation, anti-static shoes are also an indispensable protective measure. At the same time, anti-static shoes can also reduce the impact of static electricity on the human body,

preventing the human body from generating static electricity shock and other phenomena.

ESD Shoes can be divided into three categories according to their different protection capabilities:

Anti-static shoes: This type of shoes only adds conductive materials to the soles and heels, which can conduct part of the static electricity, but cannot completely prevent the generation and accumulation of static electricity.

Static dissipative shoes: This type of shoes adds conductive materials to the soles and heels, as well as to the uppers and inside the shoes, which can dissipate the static electricity generated and protect static-sensitive equipment and materials.

Static insulation shoes: This type of shoes not only has the ability to dissipate static electricity, but also has the function of isolating static electricity, which can completely prevent the generation and accumulation of static electricity.

Correct use and maintenance of ESD Shoes: Confirm the anti-static requirements of the working environment and choose appropriate anti-static shoes. When wearing anti-static shoes, you need to ensure that the shoes are in contact with the ground to ensure the conductive effect. If the shoes are not in good contact with the ground, you can use conductive mats or conductive floors. Before use, you need to check the conductive properties of the shoes to ensure that the conductive materials on the soles are intact, and do not use shoes that are severely worn.

During use, do not replace ESD Shoes with ordinary shoes or other non-antistatic shoes to avoid affecting the antistatic effect. Regular maintenance is required to maintain its conductive properties. During use, care should be taken not to dirty or scratch the upper, and do not use antistatic shoes on muddy ground to avoid contamination or damage to the conductive material.

When cleaning ESD Shoes, use a soft cloth and neutral detergent, and do not use detergents containing acid, alkali or enzyme ingredients to avoid damaging the conductive material. At the same time, do not

put antistatic shoes in a washing machine for cleaning. The service life of antistatic shoes is generally 6 months to 1 year, and new shoes should be replaced after the expiration of the use period. If the shoes are worn, aged, or have reduced conductive properties during use, they also need to be replaced in time.

ESD Shoes are a very important protective equipment that can control and prevent static electricity from damaging sensitive materials such as electronic components, fuel and chemicals, and at the same time

can also reduce the impact of static electricity on the human body. Only by choosing the right antistatic shoes, using and maintaining them correctly can they exert their maximum protective effect.
