UniTrek™ Shoecover
Superior Strength and Durability

For the past 30 years, the nuclear and chemical industry has used a latex (60 to 80% rubber solids) male former dipped shoecover for worker protection needs. GLC, in cooperation with the UNITECH protective apparel company was tasked with developing a shoecover that had superior durability, UV protection, and functionality at a comparable price to the latex shoecover. As a result of our exceptional design and product development capability, GLC designed, prototyped, and setup fully scale production for the all new UniTrek™ shoecover. We manufacture the UniTrek™ from 100% virgin rubber, pigmenting and compounding the rubber ourselves. Since Vietnam is one of the worlds premier rubber producing countries, GLC can source this high quality, virgin rubber at a fraction of the cost for other manufacturers in the USA and other Asian countries. The UniTrek™ shoecover is produced with our compression molding process utilizing a unique 3 piece mold and extremely high pressure, high heat presses. Because GLC manufactures our own presses and molds, our start-up cost was a fraction of that for US and other Asian manufacturers. The result of our development project is a shoecover that has consistent uniform thickness at 55 mil, is resistant to UV deterioration, and is 10 times more durable than the traditional latex shoecover at a comparable price to the latex shoecover. This was GLC's first design development project and GLC is proud of the projects tremendous success. The UniTrek™ shoecover has direct applicability to the nuclear, chemical, and industrial worker protection markets. It is currently available in 1 through 5 BAR color coded sizes. And we recently added the green UniTrek™ for use in clean areas.
