PROJECT KICK OFF
B R I E F
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

Simplified Drop Test
• 65g steel ball
• Dropped from 305mm
• Onto 3.175mm thickness flat
samples
Materials Tested
• Standard TPE 30 Shore A
• TPU alloy 60 Shore A
• Damping TPE 32 Shore A
VDT reduces

• 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

it, allowing the plastic to relax, reflow, and
solidify.
If the holes are not for structural design, they
can be placed closer together and should all be
placed two times the nominal wall thickness (W)
apart from each other and from an outside or
inside wall.
