ESD protection is often confused or mistakenly assimilated just to the 'anti-static' properties of footwear.
The acronym Electro Static Discharge, refers to the ability to constantly discharge 'on the ground' a charge of static energy passing from one body to another. Safety footwear that feature this protection, ESD, comply with the CEI EN 61340 standard and are able to protect a human body from the risks arising from the accumulation of electrostatic charges that could occur in hazardous workplaces. Unlike accident-prevention shoes that simply have the initials A, which stand for 'anti-static', ESD shoes are instead dissipative, i.e. they are capable of constantly discharging the energy charges accumulated by the human body to the ground.

UNIVERSAL YET RICH IN DETAIL
A varied range to meet the needs of a wide range of workers. Designed to meet the demand for elegant yet comfortable footwear, the Urania BSF series aims at universality in terms of the types of offered models but also in terms of the needs to be met. The seven models that make up the series range from the ultra-breathable S1P sandal to the low shoe with S3 protection level, passing through a total white, S3 proposal with elastic laces. The latter is a detail that should not be overlooked, as the elastic laces allow the footwear to be easily removed without the use of hands and are therefore particularly suitable in healthcare or food handling/processing environments.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN MATERIALS
The benefits of BASF® innovation are all expressed in the material of which the outsole and midsole is made. The use of BASF® polyurethane makes these shoes practical and stable, with slip-resistant SRC-grade, able to absorb shocks. The self-cleaning and highly draining pattern of the outsole guarantees high stability even in the presence of liquids. They are particularly suitable in situations of prolonged use thanks to the Fly Foam footbed. This one, made of a bi-component Memory PU foam material with constant thickness, ensures greater comfort.
ELEGANCE AND COMFORT
The upper, made of the latest-generation technological materials, offer a high level of comfort in terms of breathability and elasticity. The modern profile and elastic qualities make them easily adaptable to the anatomy of the foot. Flexible, soft but at the same time resistant to external agents such as dirt and hydrocarbons. Such details are complemented by reflex inserts, highly resistant materials and their insulating capacities, which make the Urania BSF footwear series particularly suitable for outdoor environments and rough terrain.
