D3O® Impact Protection
D3O® Technology
D3O’S MISSION IS TO BE THE GLOBAL LEADER IN IMPACT PROTECTION BY DELIVERING QUALITY, SHOCK ABSORBING SOLUTIONS TO ITS PARTNERS.
ABOUT D3O®
D3O is a UK based company specialising in impact protection and shock absorption
The company develops high performance impact protection technologies that are used by global brands in sports, electronics, motorcycle, defence and industrial workwear. D3O licenses its protective solutions to leading brands and organisations worldwide including Under Armour, Schutt Sports, Snickers Workwear, Dr. Martens, US Special Forces, 3M, Furygan and Scott Sports.
HOW D3O TECHNOLOGIES WORK
D3O uses a combination of patented, patent-pending and proprietary technologies to make rate-sensitive, soft, flexible materials with high shock absorbing properties that are used in impact protection products. Based on non-Newtonian principles, in its raw form, the material’s molecules flow freely, allowing it to be soft and flexible, but lock together on impact to dissipate impact energy and reduce transmitted force.
D3O TECHNOLOGIES
D3O’s material scientists carefully tune polymer blends to achieve specific properties to the final application such as temperature stability, abrasion resistance or flexibility. D3O’s extensive material portfolio includes a wide range of grades compatible with different production processes. Each formulation is developed to meet the specific needs of diverse marketplaces and a wide range of product applications.
WHAT IS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF D3O® PRODUCTS?
The life expectancy will depend on the conditions the material endures and how it is looked after during use and storage. D3O® protectors are designed to withstand multiple impacts. However, the re-use-ability of the protectors will depend on the severity of the impact. After any significant impact the protectors should be inspected by the end-user.
WHY ARE D3O® PROTECTORS BETTER THAN HARD ARMOUR?
D3O® reacts to the unique impact environment: for example, it provides a different level of impact protection at high speeds to low speeds. D3O®’s foamed protectors are inherently soft and comfortable to wear under your clothes. Because of their high performance levels, they can be lower profile and less bulky, so more people prefer to wear it. D3O delivers the most flexible, comfortable and discreet protection on the market and consistently outperforms traditional foam based protection.
