WHAT IS A DUAL-DENSITY SOLE IN SAFETY SHOES?

What is a Dual Density sole in safety shoes?

A combination of resistance with flexibility, as well as durability and comfort. The dual-density soles of safety shoes are made of polyurethane, making them wear-resistant (able to resist material loss caused by some mechanical action) and anti-static (prevents the build-up of static electricity or reduces its effects). The safety shoes are designed to have a firm grip and provide slip resistance.

Hillson is a well-known safety shoe company that provides supreme quality shoes at an accessible price. In the industrial field, safety shoes have become one of the most crucial components. The shoes are made not only to fit precisely and look good but also to feel comfortable and help you perform your best at work.

BENEFITS OF DOUBLE DENSITY PU SOLES

The exclusive collection of double density PU sole safety shoes has excellent anti-static properties, is light weighted, and sweat absorbent. The sole of the shoes helps provide a cushioning effect to your feet.

Here’s a little more about the benefits of double density PU sole in safety shoes:

  • Light in weight – They are light because of how polyurethanes are formed. In a nutshell, PU is formed when diisocyanates react with other di-functional compounds like glycols. This triggers the release of millions of little bubbles which results in their lightness, making it lighter footwear.

  • Climate controlling – This may sound bizarre considering that they’re shoes. Dual-density PU material shoes have the capability to withstand any weather conditions. It allows for feet to remain insulated and warm in cold conditions and when it’s hot, it allows for air to circulate and keep the feet cool. This is particularly helpful in industries such as construction and mining where temperatures vary outdoors.
  • Anti-static – Dual Density PU soles are designed to significantly reduce the flow of electricity that goes through the shoes towards the ground. Ultimately, diminishing the possibility of getting electrocuted. Industries such as manufacturing and mining are suited to these properties of PU.
  • Comfortable – Dual-density polyurethanes provide a more cushioned sole for added ease. This is to make sure that the time spent wearing these shoes is comfortable. No matter what the purpose is, comfort is one of the first things that comes into the mind while purchasing. Hillson provides comfortable safety shoes.
  • Durable – The double density safety shoes can withstand temperatures up to 95 degrees Celsius which makes them more durable than those made without. It makes them a coherent and cost-effective choice when one takes into account the longevity of the shoes. As the shoes are made with dual layers of PU, they are more reliable and tough.

BENEFITS OF DOUBLE DENSITY PVC

PVC soles resist abrasion, aggressive environments, and are easy to manufacture. Polyvinyl chloride, widely known as PVC, is one of the most popular plastics used in building and construction. It is used in drinking water and wastewater pipes, window frames, flooring, and many other applications. It provides a modern alternative to traditional materials such as wood, metal, rubber, and glass.

  • Lightweight & Tough – The key technical advantages of PVC are abrasion resistance, lightweight, good mechanical strength, and toughness in building and construction applications.
  • Easy to install – PVC can be cut, shaped, welded, and joined easily in a variety of styles. Due to its lightweight, the chances of facing difficulties while handling it are greatly reduced.
  • Durable – PVC can resist different weathers, chemical rotting, corrosion, shock, and abrasion. It is therefore the preferred choice. In fact, there’s an account for some 85 percent of PVC production in the building and construction sector.
  • Cost-effective – PVC provides excellent cost-performance advantages due to its physical and technical properties, making it a popular material for construction applications. It is very competitive in terms of price and this value is also enhanced by the properties such as its durability, lifespan, and low maintenance.
  • Safe material – PVC is non-toxic and a socially valuable resource that has been used for more than half a century. It also meets all international standards for safety and health for both the products and applications for which it is used.
  • Fire resistant – Unlike other organic materials used in buildings, including plastics, wood, textiles, etc, PVC products will not burn when exposed to a fire. These products are self-extinguishing, i.e. if the ignition source is withdrawn they will stop burning. It has high chlorine content which contains fire safety characteristics, such as being difficult to ignite, heat production is comparatively low and they tend to char rather than generate flaming droplets. However, if there is a bigger fire in a building, PVC products will burn and will emit toxic substances like all other organic products.
  • Good insulator – PVC does not conduct electricity and is, therefore, an excellent material to use for electrical applications such as insulation sheathing for cables.
  • Versatile – The versatile physical properties of PVC allow designers a high degree of freedom. While designing new products and developing solutions, PVC acts as a replacement or refurbishment material. PVC has been the preferred material for scaffolding billboards, interior design articles, window frames, etc.
