Question
What special precautions or cleaning should be taken with ESD safe shoes? -Michael Iriarte, M.S. Carriers, Atlants, Georgia
Answer
ESD Safe shoes should comply to the ESD S9.1, ESD Association’s standard on Footwear – Resistive Characterization, especially after cleaning. Make sure that the cleaning agents used are not composed of any insulative materials such as lanolin, soaps, lanolin, free-salts, silicone and mineral oil. Dry friction cleaning (electric or manual) the bottom sole of the shoe helps reduce the build-up of dirt and other contaminants on this critical contact surface. Note: The recommended electrical resistance range for static control footwear is 1x10
6
ohms to 1x10
9
ohms. Values less than 1x10
6
ohms may present an electrical hazard. Values grater than 1x10
9
ohms may exhibit increased dissipation times. Note: It is recognized that some hygroscopic materials (such as, but not limited to, leather) may have results that fluctuate and do not remain within a specified minimum or maximum resistance range as the environmental conditions change.
