ESD safety low shoe TURBO LOW S1PS, metal free, HRO outsole, black-red - PUMA Safety 645020210

Anyone covering eight hours between store, test bench and line in electronics production needs a shoe that drains the wearer's charge before it finds a component. The TURBO BLK/RED LOW keeps the resistance of the person, shoe and floor chain below 100 MOhm under DIN EN 61340-5-1 and protects the toes with a fibreglass cap tested to EN ISO 20345 at 200 joules impact energy and 15 kN compression. There is no metal built into this shoe.

What sets this model apart

• The shoe drains the wearer's electrostatic charge through footbed and sole into the floor. The governing standard is DIN EN 61340-5-1 for the ESD protected area. It assesses the chain of person, shoe and floor, and the resistance of that chain stays below 100 MOhm. Antistatic construction to EN ISO 20345 alone does not achieve this, it only covers the wide band from 10 to the power of 5 up to 10 to the power of 9 ohms and is no proof of ESD suitability.
• The class code S1PS reads awkwardly but says something clear. S1 covers a closed heel area, antistatic construction and an energy absorbing heel region, and the 2022 edition adds fuel oil resistance of the sole. The appended PS means a penetration resistant insert of non metallic material, tested with the small nail of 3.0 mm diameter. That test is tougher than the older 4.5 mm variant. The toe cap meets the basic requirement of EN ISO 20345 and withstands 200 joules of impact energy and 15 kN of compression.
• The entire protection package is metal free, a fibreglass cap instead of steel and FAP®lite instead of a steel midsole. That saves weight, avoids cold bridges in winter and stops the constant triggering at plants with metal detector gates. The shoe is also made vegan.
• The MOTION PWR sole combines a PWR.FOAM® midsole, which PUMA took over from high performance running, with a rubber outsole in several tread zones. The outsole carries the HRO marking and therefore withstands contact heat of 300 °C for 60 seconds under EN ISO 20345. Slip resistance SR and fuel oil resistance FO come on top.
• The SAFETY KNIT® upper with FUSETEC® elements gives way where the foot moves and stays firm where it needs support. It is reinforced by TPU at the toe and heel and by a TPU eyelet element that takes load off the lacing. The ELASTIC FIT comfort collar closes the shaft softly.
• Inside, the BreathActive functional lining and the evercushion® MMT footbed work together. Moisture is carried away, the heel is cushioned. That matters on shifts with more standing than walking.

Applications

Placement, assembly and test stations in electronics production, service work on sensitive assemblies, order picking and goods receipt inside the EPA, workshop and maintenance. Thanks to the HRO outsole the shoe also fits where hot chips or warm surfaces reach the floor. For permanently wet floors specify a class S2 or S3 model with a water repellent upper instead.
