PORON - XRD Extreme Impact Protection

Video Demonstrations

PORON® XRD® Technology is all about action – and impact! We want to show you how XRD Extreme Impact Protection works. from the lab to the streets, slopes, top of buildings and everywhere in between. Join our mailing list or follow us on Facebook to get updates on the latest videos and new product launches.

We’d love to hear your ideas for the next XRD Extreme Impact Demo or help share the news of a video you’ve made. Let us know!

How does XRD® Extreme Impact Protection Work?

Like all PORON® microcellular products, PORON® XRD™ technology is open cell, breathable and is easily customized and incorporated in a variety of designs. The XRD protection difference is especially apparent at high speed impact. The soft contouring material instantly dissipates force upon impact – absorbing up to 90% of energy at high speed impact .*

PORON XRD material gets its softness when at rest while above the “glass transition temperature” (Tg) of the urethane molecules. When stressed at a high rate or impacted quickly, the Tg of the material reaches the point when the urethane momentarily "freezes" - like water freezing into ice. When this happens, the material firms to form a comfortable protective shell that shields the body from impact better than other protective foams currently available. On the measure that matters most – absorbing more impact energy at higher speeds – we kill the competition. Need we say more?
