Shoe covers designed for foot protection against chemicals or chemically contaminated objects. These covers are typically made of thick plastics (e.g., polypropylene, polyethylene) or butyl rubber; they are waterproof, resistant to a wide range of chemicals, and intended for long wear. Most shoe covers include a skidproof covering for better traction. Chemically resistant shoe coverings are for healthcare personnel to use over their shoes or boots for protection during handling and transport of chemicals or for cleaning, decontamination, and transportation of patients and objects contaminated with chemicals or other biohazardous substances.
