With the same model used, the external shape always remains the same, thus facilitating those who have to switch from a version, for example steel, to one in composite-ULTRA, or from aluminum to verto fiber or from steel to aluminum and so on, the injection rings that you are going to use will always be the same, with a considerable saving of investment costs in new equipment. It will be sufficient to adapt only the internal shape and adapt it to the relative different thicknesses.<\/p>\n<p>You can choose our safety tips in steel, fiberglass, composite or aluminum, or carbon fiber and be sure, all materials ensure very high performances: the difference lies in lightness, flexibility or cost.<\/p>\n<p>Our internal laboratory certified RPN by Ricotest, constantly monitors all our products and regularly provides all the certificates of analysis and testing that we perform daily and systematically in-house.<\/p>\n<p>All our products are accompanied by a certificate issued by an independent and accredited external laboratory ACCREDIA, which certifies and proves the regularity and compliance according to the specifications of EN12568S<\/p>\n<p>This guide has been created to provide, in an objective way, an analysis of the different characteristics of each version, and there is no better variant than others, or a better material ever, but each version in its own way, is better suited to the use and \/ or use that the shoe must face. It is therefore very important to understand what availability there are and what are the individual characteristics of each, to make the most of each feature and obtain excellent results.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, just as the most salient properties were highlighted, the characteristics that are considered as a disadvantage were also reported.<\/p>\n<p>It is very important to understand and evaluate well both these positive and negative characteristics, therefore, to avoid using a product that is not suitable or that does not support certain stresses or uses.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, once you have read and understood the different possibilities, listed below, you can re-evaluate your current uses and check if you are using the most appropriate model or you can undertake a feasibility study phase for replacement with a different class, to improve performance or increase the areas of use of your products.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, our team is at your disposal to provide all the technical and commercial information to the questions that you will submit to us as a result of reading and analyzing this document.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the complete guide to choose the perfect safety tip for the construction of your next shoe.<\/p>\n<h2>Hardened steel toe cap<\/h2>\n<p>The SAFiT hardened steel tips are perfect for those who prefer strength and economy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Transverse fibers  <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>As everyone knows, steel also has fibers inside, due to the process of melting and rolling, and just as a piece of wood has a greater resistance to breakage if the stress we apply is transverse to the fibers rather than parallel to them. To ensure maximum resistance, we carry out all our production in order to have the fibers of the material arranged transversely to the impact force that is applied in the impact test according to EN12568s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carbon steel alloy, SAFiT exclusive specification.  <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>A chemical and physical formulation of the steel raw material specifically studied and customized, developed by years of experience, gives our tips a greater resistance to impact and crushing, compared to the classic metal tips with the same weight.<\/li>\n<li>The quality and constancy of performance is a cornerstone of our characteristics, therefore, using the raw material always the same, which is the starting point, and of the highest level, guarantees us very high and constant performance. Therefore, using an alloy made specifically to our specifications guarantees a greater constancy of performance. Conversely, those who buy common steel in the market have very wide variations that vary from producer to producer, which then translate into variations in performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>rounded bottom corners  <\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>all SAFiT products have rounded edges of the two ends of the toecap, thus allowing a significant reduction in weight, increasing comfort in walking, and preventing damage to the sole.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>On all SAFiT hardened steel tips it is possible to add the PVC rubber.<\/li>\n<li>The thickness of the hardened steel safety tip can be 1.5; 1,6; 1.8 or 2.0mm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite the complexity and the considerable work behind us to make the steel tip, we have invested in technologies and automations, such as to allow a considerable reduction in production costs over the years, obtaining the best tip ever, at very competitive prices.<\/p>\n<p>The following advantages and disadvantages of choosing a steel toe cap include:<\/p>\n<table border=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 321px;\" scope=\"col\"><strong>Strengths<\/strong><\/th>\n<th style=\"width: 321px;\" scope=\"col\"><strong>Weaknesses<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\">Excellent resistance to impact and compression tests<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\">Considerable weight<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\">Good corrosion resistance<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\">Magnetic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\">Good resistance to chemicals<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\">Detectable by metal detectors<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\">Excellent fire resistance<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\">Great availability in various models and sizes*<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\">Space-saving space<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\">Consistent and repetitive performance<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 321px;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>* being an article of long life, over the years many models and many sizes have been made<\/p>\n<h2>Pressed aluminium alloy toe cap<\/h2>\n<p>The SAFiT tips, in aluminum alloy, are made of specific material and obtained from sheet metal with a thickness of 2.5mm suitably deformed, therefore they have a constant thickness.
