Kann man mit IPA vielleicht EVA desinfizieren?

In dachte ich noch, das Zeug wäre aus Polyurethan, aber die sind laut Lieferschein aus EVA (Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymere)

Liegt der Verschleiß (ein Paar Stiefel hält etwa 500 bis 1000 Stunden) auch am IPA (Isopropanol) oder allein an der mechanischen Belastung (die gehen oft in die Hocke und an der Ferse und am Spann sind meistens die ersten Risse)?

Wirkt eine 80%-ige IPA/Wasser-Mischung überhaupt bei Zimmertemperatur, wenn man sie immer wieder mit einem Stiefel in/über den Anderen schüttet? Also einfach so ohne rubbeln/bürsten…?

The optimal disinfection effect has 70% isopropyl alcohol. EVA with closed cells is not the best material from wear resistance. There are absolutely rubber boots which are more durable, e.g. those made from PVC, nitrile rubber or chlorinated rubber. For example, this one: Dunlop “Acifort” .

The plasticizers you mean have been banned for many years. PVC without plasticizer is not elastic but brittle. Let a company advise you or inform you on their websites. for example at Dunlop. You can also contact the professional association. In addition, employees are not entitled to certain materials if the boots meet the requirements of the BG. If they don’t want them, they have to buy themselves and pay for themselves.

The boots are on the floor and not in the food! The most clobular I know are the winter boots for construction with steel cap and steel sole, which are yellow.
For the food sector, for example, these are recommended here from PVC:

Then you must select boots intended for food processing plants, which are usually white but also often made of PVC. This is available with or without steel cap and penetration-proof sole.

Certainly, there are also wholesalers especially for workwear and safety articles. Some even have representatives who come to the company and introduce their assortment.

What exactly do you want? According to the header of the question “disinfect”, but according to the text “impregnate” ….

First: With IPA, you can naturally disinfect, so you probably think: eliminate odor. There are also sprays.

Secondly, impregnating/fatting/smoothing is a science itself, even home recipes are partly good. The durability of the plastics of shoes depends on the manufacturer. I still have super nice Nike shoes that are ill 30 years old! But I had to repair them several times with special adhesives from UHU and also with PU, which you don’t see, they look like a year old.

Life Tip: For each repair, knowledge about chemistry, building materials, materials and overall All-rounder experience of advantage. The more you learn, the cheaper and more interesting it lives!

No, just in the gym, so 3 x 1.5 hours a week. These shoes are very special. Two times Africans wanted to buy me them! Once in Amsterdam, once in Rapperswil, which made me of course particularly well-maintained … but my favorite jogging shoes from Reebok have been completely and irretrievably broken after 4 years, the inner foaming material shredded so much that the form of shoes suffered, which were unrestorable, and cost a fortune. Currently, I still have favorite shoes from Under-Armour, as light as a feather, no longer to get, so they only rarely wear them…
