This procedure was completed by placing one
1/2 inch section of rayon gauze at the apex of each
bar, and soaking the gauze with the disinfectant
to saturate the material.

One thing to avoid in adding draft
are large variations in wall thickness.
Series is setup with only
one circuit that the coolant can flow through.

Application: Protective sports equipment
Challenge: Provide functional material to protect
against impact for chest protector
Requirements:
• Compact - reduce thickness and weight for
improved comfort and functionality
• Meet EN standards
• EN1621-1 level 2 & EN1621-2 level 1
• Eliminate the use of foam and glue
• Be waterproof and easy to clean
• Sustainable
• Easy to prototype & considers manufacturing
efficiency

• A number of different shapes and
designs are created and simulated to
determine which one works best
• Refining to meet EN standard
• VDT TPEs can help reach compliance
with EN1621-1 level 2 and EN1621-2
level 1
• Optimum protection can be achieved
by combining industrial design and
engineering
