Introduction to corrosion prevention of safety shoes

Corrosion resistance of safety shoes is one of its important properties, especially in the chemical, pharmaceutical, electronics, metallurgy and other industrial fields, workers need frequent contact with corrosive substances, this performance is particularly important. The following is a detailed introduction to the corrosion protection of safety shoes:

First, material selection

The corrosion resistance of safety shoes mainly depends on their upper material. In order to enhance corrosion resistance, safety shoes usually use special leather with good chemical resistance, which is specially treated to resist acid, alkali, oil, salt and other corrosive substances. In addition, some new composite materials, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PU), etc., are also widely used in the production of safety shoes because of their excellent corrosion resistance.

Second, structural design

In addition to material selection, the structural design of safety shoes also has an important impact on their corrosion resistance. For example, some safety shoes will add a waterproof breathable film between the upper and sole, which will not only prevent corrosive liquids from seeping into the shoe, but also keep the shoe dry and comfortable. In addition, the material and design of the sole will also consider its corrosion resistance to ensure that it will not be damaged when exposed to corrosive substances.

Third, test standards

In order to ensure that the corrosion protection of safety shoes meets the standard, a series of rigorous tests are usually carried out. These tests may include placing the safety shoe in a corrosive liquid for a certain amount of time and then observing its surface for signs of corrosion or damage. For example, acid and alkali resistant safety shoes need to be tested in accordance with standards such as GB/T20991-2007 to ensure that the corrosion area of their metal protective head in corrosive liquids does not exceed the specified range.

Fourth, use and maintenance

In order to maintain the corrosion resistance of safety shoes, users should pay attention to the following points during use:

Avoid long-term contact with corrosive substances, especially in extreme environments such as strong acids and alkalis.

Clean and maintain shoes regularly, using a gentle cleaner to remove surface dirt and corrosive residue.

When not in use, safety shoes should be stored in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and wet environment.

Check the corrosion resistance of the shoes regularly, and replace them in time if damaged.

Fifth, summary

The corrosion resistance of safety shoes is one of the important properties of protecting the feet from corrosive substances. Through the selection of appropriate materials, scientific structural design and strict testing standards, it is possible to ensure that safety shoes have excellent corrosion resistance. At the same time, the user should also pay attention to the correct use and maintenance methods during use to extend the service life of the shoe and maintain its anti-corrosion performance.
