ConductScience Shoe Covers, Blue, Non-Skid (Case of 50)
$18.00 per unit | 50 units per pack Bulk pricing: Case of 50 at $900.00 ($18.00 per unit)
Disposable shoe covers designed for contamination control in laboratory and cleanroom environments. Constructed from blue polypropylene with an elastic opening that accommodates most shoe sizes, these covers feature a non-skid bottom surface for enhanced safety on laboratory floors.
The polypropylene material provides a barrier against particulate contamination while maintaining breathability for extended wear periods. The non-skid sole design reduces slip hazards on smooth laboratory surfaces, making these covers suitable for environments where both contamination control and worker safety are priorities.
How It Works
Shoe covers function as a physical barrier system, preventing the transfer of particulate matter, microorganisms, and chemical residues from footwear to controlled environments. The polypropylene material creates a low-permeability barrier that blocks the migration of contaminants while allowing sufficient air exchange to prevent moisture buildup.
The elastic opening creates a secure seal around the ankle area, minimizing gaps where contaminants could enter. The non-skid bottom surface is achieved through textured material treatment that increases friction coefficient with smooth flooring surfaces, reducing the risk of slips and falls that could compromise both safety and experimental integrity.

Comparison Guide
| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material Construction | Polypropylene with elastic opening | Basic polyethylene or cloth materials | Polypropylene offers better chemical resistance and durability for laboratory environments |
| Bottom Surface Design | Non-skid textured bottom | Smooth bottom surface | Reduces slip hazards on laboratory floors, enhancing worker safety during procedures |
| Sizing Approach | Universal elastic opening fits most sizes | Fixed sizes requiring inventory of multiple size ranges | Simplifies procurement and inventory management while ensuring availability for all staff |
| Color Identification | Blue coloration for visual identification | Clear or white materials | Easier visual confirmation of protective equipment use and detection of material contamination |
These shoe covers provide standard contamination control with enhanced safety features through non-skid bottom design. The polypropylene construction and universal sizing offer practical advantages for laboratory procurement and daily use.
Practical Tips
Apply shoe covers in a designated clean area before entering controlled environments to avoid introducing contaminants during the application process.
Why: Maintains the integrity of the contamination control barrier from the point of application.
Check the non-skid surface for wear or contamination that could reduce traction effectiveness on laboratory floors.
Why: Ensures continued slip resistance throughout the wear period, maintaining worker safety.
Remove shoe covers by grasping the elastic opening and turning inside-out during removal to contain any collected contaminants.
Why: Prevents redistribution of collected particles or microorganisms during removal process.
Inspect shoe covers for punctures or tears before entering critical areas, replacing immediately if damage is detected.
Why: Maintains barrier effectiveness and prevents contamination of controlled environments.
Avoid walking on rough or abrasive surfaces that could damage the material or compromise the non-skid surface.
Why: Preserves material integrity and maintains traction properties throughout use.
Ensure elastic opening is positioned properly above the ankle to prevent tripping hazards from loose material.
Why: Reduces fall risk while maintaining effective contamination control seal.
If elastic opening becomes loose during use, replace the shoe cover rather than attempting to adjust or tighten.
Why: Maintains proper barrier seal and prevents contamination breakthrough at the ankle area.

Compliance
What is the recommended disposal method for used shoe covers?
Dispose of used shoe covers according to laboratory waste protocols. If contaminated with biological materials, treat as biohazardous waste. For general laboratory use, dispose as regular solid waste unless contaminated with hazardous chemicals.
Can these shoe covers be used with different types of laboratory footwear?
The elastic opening design accommodates most standard laboratory shoes, boots, and sneakers. For specialized footwear with unusual dimensions, verify fit before use in critical applications.
How should shoe covers be stored to maintain material integrity?
Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid storage in areas with sharp objects that could puncture the packaging or material.
What is the expected wear time for these shoe covers?
Wear time depends on application and environmental conditions. Replace immediately if punctures, tears, or significant contamination occurs. For extended use, monitor material integrity regularly.
Are these shoe covers compatible with static control requirements?
Standard polypropylene shoe covers may generate static electricity. For static-sensitive environments, consult product specifications for antistatic properties or consider specialized antistatic shoe covers.
How do I ensure proper sizing for laboratory staff?
The elastic opening design fits most shoe sizes from approximately US size 6 to 12. For staff with footwear outside this range, verify fit during initial use or consider alternative sizing options.
