PROTECTED BY D3O
D30 IS a fast growth engineering, design and technology company based in the UK. It collective of engineer, chemists, product designers and industry experts working together to find and solve the problems,
D3O develops impact protection solutions and is a leader in protective wear and shock absorbing materials. Its technology applies non-Newtonian principles to materials, which are engineered for shock absorption. Non-Newtonian materials stiffen on impact and dissipate the energy and reduce transmitted force, before returning to their flexible state.
Applications include protective phone cases for GEAR4, shock absorbing liners used by Schutt Sports in football, baseball and lacrosse helmets as well as D3O TRUST pads used by 3M in military combat helmets.
One of the latest material developments is D3O Impact Additive, a liquid additive that enhances the impact protection properties of thermoplastic rubber (TPR) while maintaining flexibility and comfort.
The new D3OiA technology will target back of hand protection for oil and gas and construction workers, offering 34% reduction in peak transmitted force compared to a TPR sample of the same thickness.
