Esjot launches patented aluminium toe cap
Esjot Group, a designer and manufacturer of metallic safety components for the footwear industry, has developed a patented toe cap with aluminium alloy containing titanium, offering a lightweight, durable alternative to traditional steel toe caps. The toe cap, which was launched at Lineapelle, has been produced using liquid forging, an innovative technology which offers variable gauge thickness while maintaining a good shape and dimension to match the necessary standards and specifications of different industries.
Conforming to the EN12568 Standard, the new aluminium toe cap is said to absorb more energy on impact than steel (200 joules approved), whilst offering greater comfort and freedom thanks to its lightweight properties. It is non-magnetic and corrosion resistant, even when uncoated. The toe cap can also be coated to provide non-conductive properties.
