Static electricity leads to an increasing number of problems in many industrial fields. The body of a working person is easily charged with static electricity, which transfers from one to another through touch or induction. Uncontrolled discharging may damage electronic components or even cause a risk of fire or explosion under certain conditions.
One of the main methods used to control electrostatic discharging from a person is to ground the person using ESD shoes.
ESD shoes must always be used on a semi-conductive floor so that the static electricity stored in the user’s body can be released in a controlled manner.
The main task of ESD footwear is to discharge static electricity stored in a person through the floor in a reliable and safe manner under all conditions.
To meet these needs, LAJA’s PRO ESD footwear range is based on persistent product development, thorough material control and 100% quality control. The conductive properties of the sole material are preserved in different humidity conditions and on different types of floors. The sole is made of homogeneous semi-conductive polyurethane and the even conductivity of the shoes ensures continuous ground contact. Conductivity remains the same throughout the useful life of the footwear, and wear to the sole does not weaken conductive properties.
