Cryolite Boots
Cryolite Boots
Lightweight and environmentally friendly with excellent low temperature performance
Our innovative Cryolite compound significantly reduces the weight of the boots (they’re 20% lighter than PVC boots), reducing wearer fatigue and improving comfort. Our Cryolite boot range contains no Halogens (Halogens include Chlorine, Fluorine, Bromine and Iodine), commonly used in the production of PVC boots. When halogens reach their flammable temperature, they release dangerous plumes of toxic gases, such as hydrogen chloride.

Cryolite & The Environment
PVC & Halogen Free
Our Cryolite boot range contains no Halogens (Halogens include Chlorine, Fluorine, Bromine and Iodine), commonly used in the production of PVC boots. When halogens reach their flammable temperature, they release dangerous plumes of toxic gases, such as hydrogen chloride. .
Phthalate Free
Cryolite boots are also phthalate free (these are mainly used as plasticizers, primarily to soften PVC) - Research suggests that Phthalates may be endocrine disruptors that can interfere with hormone systems and may cause cancerous tumours, birth defects, and other developmental disorders.
Biodegradable
Cryolite boots will degrade in UV light or by natural oxidation or ozonolysis over a number of years (steel toe caps and mid-soles, if fitted, will not degrade, but pose no risk to the environment).
