Anti-Slip Safety Shoes

Anti-Slip Safety Shoes for Industrial Use – Built for Wet, Oily & Hazardous Workplaces

Xi'An PPE MAX Co., Ltd has been making workplace protection equipment since 1956. The outsole compound on our Anti-Slip Safety Shoes is a high grade one. Contaminated surfaces are where it counts, and grip there reaches a Coefficient of Friction (CoF) above 0.40. Food processing crews wear them every day. So do car plant workers, hospital staff and people on heavy manufacturing lines. Each pair comes with EN ISO 20345:2022 SRC certification. That covers two slip resistance tests: the ceramic tile (SRA) one and the steel floor (SRB) one. Oil-resistant nitrile rubber goes into the outsole, or TPU if you prefer. Fluid gets pushed away by the shape of the tread.

Xi'An PPE MAX Co., Ltd: This Product Manufacturer & Supplier

PPE MAX has supplied industrial protective footwear for over six decades. Our quality control process applies SATRA TM144 and ISO 13287 test methods to measure dynamic CoF on standard calibration surfaces for every production batch—not estimates based on factory floor conditions.

Every batch goes through inspection. We check outsole hardness (Shore A ≤70) and abrasion resistance (volume loss <150mm³). Flexing resistance (>50,000 cycles) and groove depth get checked too. Each shipment comes with full lab reports that confirm the SRC or SR rating. Those reports help with your procurement and compliance paperwork.

We also participate in international safety equipment exhibitions and welcome factory visits and on-site product testing sessions.

What Are This Product?

This product are one type of specialized Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) footwear. They are made to cut down slips, trips and falls on hazardous surfaces.

Standard safety footwear is not built this way. These shoes use special outsole compounds. The tread pattern is designed too. Both work together to raise the CoF between the bottom of the shoe and the surface you walk on. That holds true on wet ceramic tile and on oily steel floors.

These shoes are typically specified to address three recurring workplace problems:

• Fall-related injuries and the associated workers' compensation costs
• Reduced worker mobility in contaminated work zones
• Failing to meet regulations in sectors where spills happen a lot, like food processing and automotive manufacturing

Good designs pair two things. One is a macro-tread pattern. It moves fluids out of the contact zone. The other is a micro-texture compound. Under load, it holds onto the smooth features of the surface.

Features

Tread Pattern Design

Angled lugs sit on the outsole, and wide channels push liquids away from the contact zone. That stops a fluid film from building up between the sole and the floor.

Outsole Material Options

Heat is no problem for Nitrile Rubber (HRO), and it grips well. Abrasion is where TPU holds up, and traction stays dependable too. Weight drops on dual-density PU/Rubber soles. Grip does not drop with it. Which material you pick comes down to the contaminants and surface types in your workplace.

Waterproof Anti-Slip Safety Shoes EVA Upper

Wet industrial settings still leave feet dry, because the EVA upper is waterproof and anti-slip. Grime and spills do not stick to it either.

Oil-Resistant Compound

Hydraulic fluids can attack the outsole compound. So can machine lubricants, animal fats, and vegetable oils. This one holds up. It resists swelling. Hardening and breakdown do not get a hold either, so friction performance stays the same for the whole service life of the product.

SRC-Certified Slip Resistance

Two tests decide the SRC rating. One is SRA, run on ceramic tile with soap solution. The other is SRB, run on steel floor with glycerol. Passing both means the rating holds up in workplaces where surfaces change.

Verified Performance Data

• CoF >0.40 on wet, oily, and contaminated surfaces (SATRA TM144 / ISO 13287)
• Outsole volume loss <150mm³ (ISO abrasion method)
• Outsole hardness ≤70 Shore A
• Flexing tests ran past 50,000 cycles. No cracking showed up, and the sole did not separate
• Hydrolysis resistance is built into these compounds, confirmed for oils and greases and for contact with acids
• Open tread design prevents food waste or debris from clogging fluid channels

Applications for Anti-Slip Safety Shoes

Food & Beverage Processing

Floors in food processing plants take a constant beating. Animal fats, vegetable oils, and water land on them all day. Coatings are the usual answer. An open-cleat tread design lets the organic matter drop through rather than pile up. The outsole compound fights oil too, so lipids cannot break it apart. Grip holds steady across long shifts.

Automotive & Heavy Manufacturing

Hydraulic fluid ends up on concrete factory floors. So do coolants and lubricants. Spills like these keep causing slips that never fully go away. Oil-resistant rubber outsoles are what Anti-Slip Safety Shoes use. Contact with the surface stays stable and the material does not swell. That gives workers near heavy machinery safer footing.

Healthcare & Facilities Management

Polished vinyl and tiled floors turn wet and slick once detergents hit them. Slip risk jumps a lot on surfaces like that. Micro-tread contact geometry still gets a grip on them. Padding comes from the EVA build, and that helps staff who stand through long shifts.

Why Choose PPE MAX?

In-house quality control at PPE MAX uses SATRA TM144 and ISO 13287 methods. Dynamic CoF gets measured on calibrated surfaces. Every order ships with lab reports that confirm SRC or SR ratings.

Batch inspection happens before shipment. It checks outsole hardness and abrasion resistance. Flexing cycles get checked too, along with groove depth. This documentation can back up procurement compliance records directly.

FAQ

Q: What sets the SRA, SRB, and SRC ratings apart?

A: SRA means the shoe passed slip testing on ceramic tile with soap solution. SRB means it passed on steel floors with glycerol. SRC means the shoe passed both—confirming certified performance across the broadest range of common workplace surface types.

Q: What keeps the grip working well over time?

A: Clogged treads cause most grip loss. Dirt fills the channels meant to move fluid away. That leaves less of the sole touching the floor. Scrub the sole now and then. Use a brush and a mild detergent. Grease and solid bits come out of the cleats that way.

Q: For how long will the slip resistance keep working?

A: Slip resistance performance is directly tied to tread depth. Once tread depth falls below 2–3mm, fluid channeling is reduced. In high-abrasion environments this can occur within 6–12 months, so regular inspection of groove depth is recommended.

Q: Could a shoe resist oil yet still lack slip protection?

A: Yes. FO (oil resistant) only tells you the outsole material won't break down or swell in oil. That is not proof the friction coefficient is high enough to stop a slip. Check the slip resistance rating (SRC/SR) every time, as a separate specification from oil resistance.

Q: What checks does PPE MAX run on slip resistance before an order ships?

A: Before shipment, dynamic CoF gets measured on calibrated surfaces. Testing follows SATRA TM144 and ISO 13287 methods. Lab reports come with every order. They confirm SRC or SR ratings and back up your procurement and compliance records.
