ESD safety low shoe FUSE KNIT WNS LOW S1P women, SAFETY KNIT, black - PUMA Safety 643930264

Anyone spending eight hours on their feet at a placement machine or test bench feels every extra gram. The FUSE KNIT WNS LOW is the women's model in the PUMA Safety MOTION PROTECT WOMEN line, in width F and with a SAFETY KNIT knitted upper instead of leather. The shoe drains the wearer's electrostatic charge through sole and floor. DIN EN 61340-5-1 requires the person, shoe and floor resistance in an EPA to stay below 100 MOhm. That is what this version is built for, and PUMA Safety lists it as an ESD shoe in its own data sheet. The antistatic base property under EN ISO 20345 allows anything from 0.1 MOhm to 1000 MOhm and is therefore no ESD proof on its own. What counts in the end is the installed system of person, shoe and floor.

What sets this model apart

• Safety class S1P means a closed heel area, antistatic construction, an energy absorbing heel region and a penetration resistant insert in the sole. On dry shop and production floors that is the usual choice. A water resistant upper as in S2 or S3 is not part of this class.
• Fibreglass toe cap to EN ISO 20345, tested at 200 joules impact energy and 15 kN compression. It is metal free, so it does not set off gate detectors and does not carry cold to the toes in winter.
• FAP penetration resistant insert in non metallic textile, tested at a test force of 1100 N. Unlike a steel midsole it covers the sole area into the ball of the foot, stays flexible and saves weight.
• Outsole: MOTION IMPULSE Triple Density rubber outsole, heat resistant to 300 degrees Celsius, with an IMPULSE.FOAM midsole in two densities. Combined with the evercushion CUSTOM FIT MID footbed, which spreads pressure across the whole area.
• BreathActive functional lining and an upper in SAFETY KNIT knitted textile with welded FUSE.TEC reinforcements. The combination moves moisture outwards, which over a full shift is the difference between a dry foot and a clammy one.
• Closure: laced. Further features: metal free, vegan, microfibre eyelet element and toe cap protection. The manufacturer lists this model as DGUV certified.
• Additional markings stated by the manufacturer. HRO, outsole resistant to contact heat of 300 degrees Celsius for 60 seconds. SRC, slip resistance tested on ceramic tile with detergent and additionally on steel with glycerine.

Technical data

Applications

Placement, assembly and rework in electronics production, test and measuring stations, goods receipt and order picking inside the EPA, service work on sensitive assemblies. The heat resistant outsole additionally covers warm floors, for example at soldering lines or on asphalt in summer. For wet areas or outdoor work in the rain, a class S2 or S3 model is the right choice.
