How Does D3O® Impact Protection Work?

D3O® core patented technology is based on non-Newtonian principles.

In standard conditions, the molecules in a non-Newtonian fluid flow freely allowing the material to remain soft and flexible. On impact, they lock together for milliseconds dissipating the impact energy and reducing the force transmitted, but then instantly return to their flexible state.

The raw material is strain rate sensitive which means the stronger the impact, the more the molecules react, and the better the protection.

D3O® manufactures this raw substance into practical functioning foam and non-foam materials.
