ESD safety low shoe FLASH 6100 S2, Sportline fabric, width 10, black-grey - Atlas 72000

On an electronics shop floor the shoe is the last link in personnel grounding, and that is exactly where the FLASH 6100 starts. Atlas guarantees a resistance of less than 100 MOhm for this model, measured by the person shoe floor method to DIN EN 61340-5-1. On top of that sits a class S2 low shoe that wears more like a running shoe than like protective equipment, thanks to the Sportline fabric and the MPU INNOFLEX sole.

What the shoe delivers

• S2 in plain words. Closed heel area, antistatic construction, energy absorption in the heel, a toe cap rated 200 joules of impact and 15 kN of compression, plus an upper tested for water penetration and water absorption. S2 does not include a penetration barrier against nails, that is what S3 stands for.
• Charge dissipation to DIN EN 61340-5-1. The shoe ties the wearer into the personnel grounding of the EPA. Atlas guarantees a resistance of less than 100 MOhm measured by the person shoe floor method. The plain antistatic requirement of EN ISO 20345 allows anything between 0.1 MOhm and 1000 MOhm. Component protection depends on the tighter figure, because only that prevents a discharge when someone picks up an assembly.
• Steel toe cap rated 200 joules. The anatomically shaped cap withstands at least 200 joules of impact and at least 15 kN of compression to EN ISO 20345. Two hundred joules is roughly 20 kilograms falling from one metre, the classic workpiece sliding off a bench.
• MPU INNOFLEX system with MPU REBOUND. The sole assembly guides the load along one natural line of force, the INNOFLEX LINE, from first to last ground contact. Large tread areas made of energy absorbing MPU material take up the impact and return it into the next step. Anyone covering kilometres on concrete across a shift notices the difference by the end of the day.
• Sportline upper and aktiv-X functional lining. The Sportline fabric is built from textile fibres, is highly air permeable and breathes well. The aktiv-X lining regulates moisture actively, does not stain, is kind to the skin and resists abrasion. In heated production halls that is what decides the eighth hour of a shift.
• Width 10, width 12 on request. This article is standard width 10, which Atlas deliberately lasts broad and foot friendly. The manufacturer also offers the same shoe in extra wide width 12, which is not a larger size but a separate last with more room across the ball at identical length. Approved for orthopaedic insoles under DGUV rule 112-191.

Technical data

Areas of use

Electronics production and board assembly, test and repair benches, final assembly, order picking and warehousing. The water tested upper also covers damp areas of the hall and cleaning routes. Where nails, swarf or sheet metal offcuts lie on the floor, a penetration resistant S3 model is the better choice.

Standards and conformity

• EN ISO 20345:2012, safety class S2, slip resistance SRC. Steel toe cap, tested to 200 joules of impact and 15 kN of compression.
• DIN EN 61340-5-1, ESD compliant. Resistance measured by the person shoe floor method is less than 100 MOhm. The antistatic requirement of EN ISO 20345 is wider, between 0.1 MOhm and 1000 MOhm.
• PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425, risk category 2.
• DGUV rule 112-191, suitable for orthopaedic insoles. The marking inside the shoe is what counts.

Sizes

Available in EU sizes 36 to 49 in standard width 10. Atlas also offers the same shoe in extra wide width 12.
