Safety toe caps
Safety toe caps are designed to protect the toes in work environments where impacts, bumps, and compressions to the foot are possible. Toe caps for safety shoes must comply with the European standard EN 12568, which, among other things, requires protection from impacts up to 200 J and compressions up to 15 kN.
Width and Comfort
The UNICOMP® toe cap fully meets the requirements of section 4.4 of EN 12568:2010. Its 200-joule impact resistance ensures excellent performance at both high and low temperatures. Made of technical polymer, the UNICOMP® toe cap is stainless, non-magnetic, thermally and electrically non-conductive, features a beveled edge for greater comfort, flexibility, and resilience, is epoxy-free, and recyclable.
Choosing and materials of safety toe caps
The choice of the most suitable safety toe cap depends on the type of protection needed. Safety toe caps come in different weights and are made from various materials, each with specific characteristics. In general, toe caps for safety shoes are made of steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, fiberglass, and plastic. Depending on the material, the weight of a toe cap can vary from 80/90 grams for steel ones to 32/36 grams for carbon fiber ones.
Uniwork safety toe caps
Uniwork has developed Unicomp safety toe caps made from a technical polymer, a highly resistant yet lightweight plastic material, designed not to weigh down the shoes. They provide good thermal insulation and are therefore particularly suitable for work in very high or low temperatures, and they are also non-conductive to electricity.
