Advanced Materials for Impact Protection and Durability #
Shock absorption foam plays a crucial role in a variety of protective applications, offering both safety and performance across multiple industries. Below, we present an in-depth look at the features, benefits, and technical details of our shock absorption foam products.
Applications #
- Ice hockey protective gear
- Equestrian body protectors
- Sporting protectors
- Inner shoe cushioning
- Motorcycle body protectors
Key Advantages #
- Low G’s Value & Low Rebound:
- The foam exhibits a low maximum G’s value, meaning it effectively reduces the deceleration experienced during impact. Lower G’s values correspond to less severe impacts.
- Low rebound indicates that the foam absorbs a significant portion of the initial impact energy, minimizing the snap-back effect that can be detrimental in protective applications.
- Durability Under Repeated Impact:
- Maintains excellent compression set and shape stability even after strong, repeated impacts.
- Thermal Stability:
- Performs reliably in both cold and hot environments, ensuring consistent protection.
- Chemical and Environmental Resistance:
- Resistant to most chemicals, petroleum products, and humidity. The foam will not rot and does not contain CFC ozone-depleting materials (certified by TÜV, Germany).
- Free from 10 phthalates (DBP, BBP, DENP, DINP, DNHP, DIBP, DNPP, DCHP, DIDP, DNOP).
- Compliance and Safety:
- Meets EN1621 requirements for motorcyclist body protectors and EN13158 for horse-riding body protectors.
- Easy to clean and self-extinguishing for added safety.
Fabrication Methods #
- Cutting and die-cutting
- Adhesive bonding and welding
- Sewing and stitching
