3M™ THINSULATE™
THINSULATE™ insulation works by trapping air molecules between you and the outside. The more air a material traps in a given space, the greater its insulating value. Because the microfibers in Thinsulate™ Insulation are finer than other fibers, they trap more air in less space, which naturally makes it a better insulator.

XRD® Metguard
New breakthrough flexible materials with XRD® technology. Designed to stay flexible in motion, but turn into an ultra-dense protective barrier upon impact.

TERRA FIRMA-FLEX®
TERRA FIRMA-FLEX® lightweight Metal-Free technology. This revolutionary combination of super-weaved high tensile fabric and resilient polymer compounds makes for one tough toe- cap. The sole plate, constructed of laminated layers of this extraordinary composite, is even stronger: averaging 20% more resistance than traditional steel plates.
Slip Resisting Results
The following average coefficients of friction (CoFs) were attained under specified test conditions according to the CSA Z195-14 standard. Tested at Satra Technology Services.
Test Surface | Flooring | Mode of Test | Results (CoFs) |
---|---|---|---|
Quarry Tile | Dry | Flat | 1.15 |
Heel | 1.03 | ||
Wet | Flat | 0.88 | |
Heel | 0.66 | ||
Stainless Steel | Wet | Flat | 0.62 |
Heel | 0.42 |
Floor and air temperature, type of flooring, a contaminated floor surface are all variables that can affect the slip resistance of footwear. We recommend you seek the advice of your retailer, safety officer, and/or TERRA, a division of VF Outdoor Canada, Co. for appropriate footwear for your application.
