Resistant to acids, bases, hydrocarbons or solvents
The chemical industry professional needs specific protection according to his working conditions. This is why ETCHE Sécurité offers several types of boots and shoes which must be chosen according to the chemicals present, their concentration and their temperature. In this sector, there is no room for approximation. ETCHE Sécurité products have been laboratory-tested and are compliant with the severest standards. The elastomers used have been specially formulated for high chemical and mechanical resistance and also to be antistatic to limit explosion risks in ATEX zones. This is why our boots are perfectly adapted to the chemical and petrochemical industries.
