Cold insulation (CI)
Function in Protective Footwear: The CI classification indicates how well a shoe is capable of shielding cold and preserving the wearer's body heat. Shoes with effective cold insulation minimize the risk of frostbite and cold-related injuries that can occur in extremely cold environments.
Testing According to Standards: The cold insulation of shoes is tested according to international standards such as EN ISO 20345 for safety shoes and EN 511 for cold protection. These standards establish testing procedures to evaluate a shoe's ability to insulate against cold and classify the shoes accordingly.
Materials and Technologies: To meet CI requirements, shoe manufacturers use special insulation materials and technologies. These can include materials like Thinsulate™, PrimaLoft®, or other specialized insulation layers that retain heat inside the shoe while wicking away moisture.
Significance for Safety and Comfort: The cold insulation of footwear is of great importance to ensure the health and well-being of workers in cold working environments. It protects against the negative effects of extreme cold and helps keep the feet warm and comfortable.
