|
DEFLEXION™ material brings you a range of silicone impact protection
technologies, allowing the easy creation of high-performance protective apparel
and personal protective equipment for many different applications.
|
Latest generation of high performance textiles
|
|
Focusing on both protection and comfort and building on the excitement and
interest generated for DEFLEXION™ first-generation impact protection textiles,
Dow Corning's scientists have created two new silicone-based impact protection
technology platforms.
|
-
the new S-Range three-dimensional spacer textile technology
-
the new TP-Range thermoplastic technology
|
|
A variety of DEFLEXION™ impact materials with different
thicknesses, weights, flexibilities, breathability and levels of protection
exist to provide the designer many choices to create protection items which
have the right look and feel for the particular application.

Shock absorbing but flexible
|
|
Traditionally, designers seeking performance textiles have had to make
tradeoffs between hard armor and soft armor choices when developing high
performance apparel. DEFLEXION™ protection textiles provide the benefits of
both and minimize the drawbacks.
