Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the benefit of CPE foil overshoes?
CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene) foil, used in LLG disposable covers, is highly water-resistant and durable, making it ideal for protecting floors from wet spills and contaminants.
2. Are sterile overshoes available for pharmaceutical use?
Yes, the Antonides range includes sterile-packed PP nonwoven overshoes specifically designed for high-sensitivity environments like pharmaceutical cleanrooms.
3. What size overshoes should I choose?
Overshoes are often available in universal sizes (like the 38x16.5 cm Antonides models) or specific size ranges (like the Uvex 42–46 and 46–48 variants) to accommodate standard safety footwear worn underneath.
4. Can these overshoes be used in high-risk chemical areas?
While most provide splash protection, for high-risk chemical environments, the Ansell AlphaTec 2000 models offer superior barrier properties compared to standard nonwoven or CPE foil disposables.
