Anti-Static, Anti-Slip Slip-On Footwear for Controlled Environments
- Static-Dissipative Protection (10⁸–10¹⁰ Ω). SPU sole compound steadily bleeds off electrostatic charge instead of releasing it as a sudden spark, protecting ESD-sensitive components and materials.
- Anti-Slip Outsole. Grooved tread built for traction on smooth epoxy, vinyl, or raised-access cleanroom flooring.
- Lightweight, Low-Particulate Build (≈0.5 kg/pair). Eco-friendly SPU construction stays comfortable through long shifts while limiting particle shedding.
- Backless, No-Vamp Design. Open-heel slip-on shape for fast on/off at gowning benches - no laces, no buckles.
- Unisex, Full Size Run (EU/CN 34–46). One product line covers an entire facility's staff and visitors, simplifying procurement.
Product Detail Parameters
Technical / Performance Data
|
Footwear resistance is only one link in a full grounding circuit (person + footwear + floor, in series). Pair these slippers with a compatible dissipative or conductive floor to keep total path resistance within your facility's ESD program limit - commonly under 1×10⁹ Ω per ANSI/ESD S20.20.

Application Scenarios
Electronics & Semiconductor Manufacturing
SMT lines, wafer fabs, and component assembly all depend on controlling static discharge around ESD-sensitive parts.
Typical use case: At the gowning station leading into an SMT clean zone, operators swap outdoor shoes for open-back ESD slippers in seconds, then step onto a dissipative floor mat that completes the grounding path into the facility's static-control program.
Pharmaceutical & Biotech
Tablet, capsule, and injectable lines need both contamination control and safe footing around sensitive equipment.
Typical use case: In a cleanroom anteroom, staff change footwear at the gowning bench before entering; the slip-on design cuts gowning time versus lace-up cleanroom boots, without sacrificing grip on frequently mopped floors.
Food & Beverage Processing
Packing lines and prep rooms need slip-resistant footwear that holds up to wash-down routines and frequent shift changes.
Typical use case: On a line where floors are washed between shifts, the grooved outsole keeps footing secure on wet epoxy flooring, while the backless design speeds changeovers at shift-start footbaths.
General Cleanroom & Laboratory Facilities
Test labs, precision-instrument assembly, and optical workshops also rely on ESD-safe walking surfaces near sensitive equipment.
Typical use case: A lab technician keeps one pair dedicated to the static-controlled bench area, worn only inside the clean zone to avoid cross-contamination and static transfer from outside hallways.
FAQ
Q: What does the 10⁸–10¹⁰ Ω resistance rating actually mean for safety?
A: It places the slippers in the static-dissipative category - conductive enough to steadily drain a static charge, but resistive enough to avoid the shock or sudden-discharge risk that fully conductive footwear (<10⁶ Ω) can pose. This dissipative middle ground is the standard choice across electronics, pharma, and lab settings.
Q: Do I still need ESD flooring if staff wear these slippers?
A: Yes. Footwear is only one leg of the grounding circuit - total resistance is footwear + floor + body resistance in series. Most ESD programs cap the combined footwear-and-floor path at roughly 1×10⁹ Ω, so the slippers should be paired with a compatible dissipative or conductive floor to form an effective ground path.
Q: Can these slippers be autoclaved or heat-sterilized?
A: No. SPU and PU are not rated for autoclave temperatures and will degrade under high heat. For routine hygiene, wipe down with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or a mild detergent solution instead, per your facility's footwear-cleaning SOP.
Q: How often should slippers be replaced to keep ESD performance reliable?
A: Resistance rises as soles wear, pick up contamination, or are exposed to solvents, so most ESD programs re-test footwear resistance on a routine schedule and retire a pair once it fails the check or shows visible wear - rather than on a fixed calendar interval. This fits naturally into an existing ANSI/ESD S20.20 audit routine.
Q: Which of the three styles should I choose?
A: It mainly comes down to donning speed versus toe protection. Cross-Strap and Round-Badge are open-toe and quickest at the gowning bench; Closed-Toe (6-Vent) adds a covered toe box for facilities that want extra protection. All three share the same anti-static, anti-slip sole.
Q: Does Westonwiper offer custom colors, sizing, or private-label branding?
A: Yes. As a factory-direct manufacturer, Westonwiper supports OEM/ODM orders, including custom colorways, adjusted size runs, and private-label packaging for bulk buyers.
