Disposable shoe covers
An overshoe can be made from a different material from the most basic for very short use to more noble materials within the framework of more demanding specifications.
Overshoe made in France
Most of the disposable shoe covers are made and sourced from Asian countries. However, we include in our range overshoes made 100% in France in Angers.
The know-how allows a guaranteed quality of overshoes and an important quality follow-up.
Single disposable polyethylene (plastic) shoe cover
The most common disposable shoe cover is made of simple polyethylene (plastic) and is mainly intended
for visitor use. We can take for example the entrance to nurseries, airports with control airlocks ... etc.
In this context, the duration of use is very short and a simple and inexpensive product is the rule. It is the most economical product and their manufacture is often done in a fully automated machine. These are in most cases products intended for short use like that of visitors.
Polypropylene shoe cover
Then there is the polypropylene or non-woven shoe cover which is of a higher quality.
This type of shoe cover can be used as part of the HACCP method in collective kitchens.
Can be used in nurseries or sensitive places requiring perfect hygiene and in particular at the level of external visitors: Food industry, Protected environments (clean rooms), Hospital environments.
Hygienic and resistant but not to humidity. Good resistance to blood, ethyl alcohol, ether, acetone and ink. Resistant to sterilization by ethylene oxide and radiation.
Polyethylene and PVC shoe cover
For environments where the use can be longer and more severe, there are then models in polyethylene but with non-slip PVC reinforcement on the sole. In this context, the anti-slip power is efficient .
Due to the increased resistance of its sole, limitation of particulate release.
Good resistance to blood, ethyl alcohol, ether, acetone and ink.
Resistant to sterilization by ethylene oxide and radiation.
Or throw away your used overshoes?
The evacuation of overshoes should not be done randomly.
As a general rule, and especially in an epidemic context, they should be thrown in Dasri bags or Darsi boxes specifically dedicated to the recovery of waste that may have been in contact with an infectious risk.
