HYDROLYSIS AND POLYURETHANE EXPLAINED Many of our shoes have the soles attached to the uppers by a process where 2 materials are brought together in a mould, the resultant chemical reaction forms polyurethane. The use of polyurethane makes a lightweight flexible sole which is not only shock absorbent but also extremely hard wearing, that's why polyurethane is ideal for shoes. One of the main technical  challenges with polyurethane is overcoming an ageing deterioration known as ‘hydrolysis’ . Hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of the PU polymer and the resulting physical breakdown or crumbling of the PU sole by the attack of water (usually in vapour form), occurring over a period of several years (even when the shoes are in store!). This process is accelerated by warmth and high humidity. It will, therefore, happen more quickly in tropical climates, but also in confined spaces (such as lockers) if the safety shoes are put away damp. In the most advanced state of hydrol...

CERTIFIED STANDARDS FOR SAFETY FOOTWEAR There are 2 MAIN STANDARDS for safety footwear: ASTM 2413 & EN ISO 20345. Besides these 2 main standards, Safety Jogger pays attention to other safety footwear standards as well (AS/NZS, JIS, LA, SNI, SIRIM, GOST, OHSC) but they are generally based on ASTM & ISO, which are explained below. › ASTM 2413 - 17 The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is an international standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards or certifications. ASTM announced in 2005 that their ANSI Standard was withdrawn and replaced by two new ASTM standards, titled F2413 Standard for Performance Requirements and F2412 Standard for Foot Protection Test Methods. These new safety footwear standards provide safety and performance previously put forward by ANSI since 1967. The biggest difference with ASTM 2413 conforming safety footwear to other standards is that the outsole must be  compl...
