Disposable shoe covers belong to the category of personal protective equipment and are widely used in daily life, clean rooms in factories, food processing industries, beauty spas, laboratories and medical fields. They are used on the outside of shoes to prevent soiling of the floor and to block the spread of bacteria. The most important feature of disposable shoe covers is that they are easy to use and have a wide range of applications, and the different materials and corresponding functions can be anti-slip, anti-static and dustproof. And the price is much cheaper compared to non-disposable shoe covers, and easy to handle, especially non-woven shoe covers, can be naturally degradable.
Functions of Disposable Overshoes
1. Hospitals, laboratories, clean rooms, because such places need to strictly control bacteria, so non-woven shoe covers or plastic shoe covers also play its advantage.
2. Nursery, because nursery are some children, they sometimes brush on the floor, so hands and clothes will touch the ground, if the ground is very dirty and there are many fine, then at this time will be infected to the little Ming you, and then threaten the health of children, so at this time the shoe cover will become necessary.

Disposable Shoe Covers preservation conditions
1. Disposable disposable shoe covering should be stored in a well-ventilated, cool and dry warehouse (indoor temperature below 30 degrees centigrade, relative humidity below 80 degrees centigrade is appropriate) on a shelf 200mm above the ground.
2. Do not come into direct contact with strong acids, strong alkalis and other chemicals.
3. Do not approach the source of fire, contact with high temperature.
4. This product is for one-time use, destroy after use.
Types of Disposable Shoe Covers
Ⅰ. Disposable Plastic Shoe Covers
Disposable plastic shoe covers can be divided into PE shoe covers and CPE shoe covers, CEP and PE are both plastic materials. CPE shoe covers are products made of chlorinated PE material. the surface of CPE shoe covers has non-slip particles, while PE shoe covers have a transparent surface and are easy to x-score. If you still feel that pe shoe covers and cpe shoe covers do not work, you can choose better quality and can be reused non-woven shoe covers. The following Let us try to understand the pe shoe covers and cpe shoe covers difference.
What is PE?
PE is also known as polyethylene, the main characteristics are good resistance to water and moisture, but poor resistance to gas and organic vapor, has good chemical stability, at room temperature and general acid shouting does not work. But oil resistance is slightly worse, there is a certain mechanical tensile and tear strength, flexibility, high resistance to low resistance, can adapt to the freezing of food processing, but poor resistance to high resistance performance. Generally can not be used for high temperature sterilization food packaging, gloss, transparency is not high.
Printing performance is poor, used as external packaging need to be treated by electricity and surface chemical treatment to change the printing performance. Processing molding is convenient, flexible and diverse products, and heat sealing performance is very good. PE resin itself is non-toxic, deep additive basin is very little, so it is considered a very good security packaging materials
PE Shoe cover Features
1.PE is a saturated rubber, which has good toughness, wear resistance, softness, etc.
2.PE is non-toxic, does not contain heavy metals and PAHS, its products fully comply with environmental requirements.
3.PE has high filling performance, can be made to meet a variety of different performance requirements of the product PE processing performance is good, Menny viscosity (ML121 1 + 4) in 50 – 100 between a variety of grades to choose from.
What is CPE?
CPE, also known as chlorinated polyether, can also be modified by grasping (25%-42%, usually about 36%). CPES is cheaper than CSMs, and its vulcanized rubber has low compression permanent deformation, and with the increase of grasping content, the oil resistance and flame retardant properties are improved, but the heat resistance is reduced. CPE has excellent weather resistance and heat resistance, and its excellent oil resistance can be immersed in many kinds of oil, typically used in hoses, wire and cable sheathing, etc.
CPE Shoe Cover Features
1. CPE is a saturated rubber, which has the properties of heat and oxygen aging, ozone aging, acid and alkali resistance, chemicals.
2. CPE has excellent oil resistance, including ASTM No.1 oil, ASTM No.2 oil with excellent performance, comparable with NBR; ASTM No.3 oil with excellent performance, better than CR, comparable with CSM
3. CPE contains chlorine element, which has excellent flame retardant performance, and has burning and anti-drip characteristics. The appropriate ratio of CPE, CPE, CPE and AI(OH)3 can be used to obtain flame retardant materials with excellent flame retardant performance and low cost.
4. CPE is non-toxic, does not contain heavy metals and PAHS, and fully meets the requirements of environmental protection,
5. CPE has high filling performance, can be made to meet a variety of different performance requirements of the product, CPE processing performance, Menny viscosity (ML121 1 + 4) in 50 – 100 between a number of and grades can be selected.
Ⅱ. Disposable Nonwoven Shoe Covers
Disposable non-woven shoe covers can be divided into spunbond non-woven, SMS non-woven or PE and non-woven composite material, non-woven shoe covers compared to plastic shoe covers, the main advantage is strong and durable, good breathability. Non-woven shoe covers are more environmentally friendly and the material can be decomposed. Non-woven shoe covers are favored by customers because they are made of the most new environmental protection materials and have anti-static function. Non-woven printed shoe covers, but also anti-slip, practical, beautiful and generous, can be printed with the company logo, to achieve a very good publicity effect.
Features of Disposable Nonwoven Shoe Covers
1. Thickened non-woven material, thick fabric, cost-effective, good experience in use.
2. Comfortable and breathable, non-woven material is breathable and can be worn for a long time.
3. Elastic open, left and right foot universal, universal for men and women.
Ⅲ. Medical Isolation Shoe Cover
Medical shoe covers have high production requirements, consisting of special anti-bacterial materials, with strong barrier capacity, medical personnel can be used in the process of preventing contact with infectious blood, body fluids, secretions, etc., with good protection. But need to pay attention to the prohibition of close to high temperature and heat, corrosive objects, rain and exposure to the sun, the use of thick to be uniformly in accordance with the provisions of the disposal, not arbitrarily discarded.
Technical Requirements
1.Water resistance The hydrostatic pressure of the protective cover material should be not less than 1.67kPa (17cm water column).
2.Resistance to synthetic blood penetration Not less than 1.75kPa.
3.Surface wetness of the outer surface of the protective cover material staining grade ≥ 2.
4.Fracture strength Not less than 40N.
5.Filtration efficiency The filtration efficiency of non-oily particles at the seams of protective cover materials and finished products is not less than 70%.
6.Microbiological indicators Microbiological indicators of non-sterile protective shoe cover.
Features of Medical Shoe Cover
1.The outer layer of the shoe cover is high quality porous film and the inner layer is spunbond polypropylene non-woven fabric for chemical and biological infection source protection.
2. Waterproof laminated fabric, to avoid stepping on water stains, water immersion in the shoes.
3. Double leather straps closure, firm and not easy to break, good elasticity, not easy to fall off when walking.
4. Sturdy and durable, not easy to wear, waterproof and dustproof.
