How to distinguish between PE shoe covers and CPE shoe covers
August 24, 2022
In our daily life, two types of disposable plastic shoe covers are usually used: PE shoe covers and CPE shoe covers. How do plastic shoe covers differ from each other and what are their advantages?
Both CEP and PE are plastic materials. CPE shoe cover is a product made of chlorinated PE material. The surface of the CPE shoe cover has anti-skid particles, while the surface of the PE shoe cover material is transparent and easy to distinguish. If you still feel that these two shoe covers are not enough, you can choose a non-woven shoe cover that is of better quality and can be reused.
CPE shoe cover features:
1. CPE is an all-rubber with the functions of heat-resistant oxygen aging, ozone aging, acid and alkali resistance and chemicals.
2.CPE has excellent oil resistance, among which ASTM 1 oil and ASTM 2 oil have excellent function, suitable for NBR; ASTM 3 oil has excellent function, better than CR, suitable for CSM.
3. CPE contains chlorine element, has excellent flame retardant function, and has the characteristics of burning and anti-drip. Appropriate proportions of antimony flame retardant, chlorinated paraffin and Al(OH)3 can provide flame retardant materials with excellent flame retardancy and low cost.
4. CPE is non-toxic, does not contain heavy metals and PAHS, and fully meets environmental protection requirements.
5. CPE has a high filling function and can be made into products that meet different functional requirements. The processing function of the CPE is good. Mooney viscosity (ML121 1+4) is between 50-100.
The price is more expensive than PE shoe covers.
PE shoe cover features:
Disposable general purpose/cleanroom shoe covers.
Lightweight and waterproof.
Material thickness: 0.05mm
Physical 100% virgin polyethylene fabric.
Elastic opening for a snug fit.
Anti-static shoes can effectively discharge static electricity. However, many employees do not like anti-static shoes because their comfort cannot be compared with ordinary casual shoes. Can I use the two antistatic products interchangeably? If yes, under what circumstances can anti-static shoe covers be used instead of anti-static shoes?
The fabric of anti-static shoe covers is the same as that of anti-static clothing. Place a 5mm striped or mesh anti-static cloth, which can be reused after cleaning, which is more economical and practical than disposable shoe covers. Anti-slip and anti-static shoe cover has good anti-static and dust-proof effect, can be used in 10-10,000 class dust-free environment, can prevent the human body from electrostatic damage to static-sensitive equipment, prevent dust from escaping from the sole, and pollute the dust-free workshop. Compared with anti-static shoes, anti-static shoe covers are more flexible to use, but the anti-static index will be slightly lower, so in places with low anti-static performance, shoe covers can still be used to replace anti-static shoes.
