D3O uses unique patented and proprietary technologies to make rate-sensitive, soft, flexible materials with high shock absorbing properties. Each material grade has been tuned to deliver specific performance properties. D3O offers an extensive material portfolio compatible with many different production processes.
D3O® technologies are based on non-Newtonian principles; in its raw form, the material’s molecules flow freely, allowing it to be soft and flexible, but on impact, lock together to dissipate impact energy and reduce transmitted force.
D3O TEST LAB
As a premium brand and innovator of impact protection and shock absorption solutions, D3O’s in-house testing lab demonstrates the company’s continued commitment to quality, performance, safety and technological leadership.
The D3O in-house lab conducts a wide range of tests and services including material characterisation tests, impact tests and helmet tests (European and NOCSAE Standards).
Fully equipped to analyse materials and products throughout the development process, the D3O test lab has an extended list of the most advanced equipment and procedures to ensure quality, reliability and tractability of data.
D3O TECHNOLOGIES
D3O’s material scientists carefully tune unique 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.
