What's SPO?
SPO Foam are a high-performance impact-absorbing material that is widely used in a variety of protective equipment. Here are some key features of SPO foam:
High elasticity and recovery: SPO material has excellent elasticity and fast recovery, which means it can quickly return to its original shape after impact, thereby maintaining its long-term performance.
Good comfort: SPO Foam remain soft and flexible when not under force, which allows them to fit the contours of the human body well, provide a comfortable wearing experience, and are suitable for long-term use.
Effective energy absorption: When impacted, SPO Foam are able to disperse and absorb impact energy through changes in the internal structure of the material, thereby reducing the force transmitted to the body and providing reliable protection.
Lightweight design: Compared with some traditional protective materials, SPO Foam are usually lighter and will not add extra burden to the wearer, suitable for a variety of sports and work scenarios.
Durability: SPO Foam have been specially treated to have good durability and can maintain their performance after multiple impacts.
Strong adaptability: Due to its good flexibility and plasticity, SPO Foam can be designed into various shapes and thicknesses to meet the needs of different application fields, such as motorcycle protective gear, sports equipment, industrial safety equipment, etc.
SPO Foam are very popular in applications that require efficient impact protection while pursuing comfort due to their excellent performance. Both athletes and workers can benefit from it and get better protection.
What's the diffreent between SPO Foam and D3O FOAM?
1.More Economical.
While maintaining the same protective function as D3O material, the cost of SPO material is only half of D3O. This is a good solution for brands with limited budgets to seek a more cost-effective solution.
2. Better Cold-Resistant.
SPO pads are more cold-resistant than D3O pads, which means that in low-temperature environments, SPO materials can maintain their performance and protection, while D3O materials may not perform as well as SPO in extreme cold conditions. Specifically, this difference can be understood from the following aspects:
Temperature adaptability: SPO pads are designed with special considerations for performance stability in low-temperature environments, so they can maintain their softness and impact absorption even at very low temperatures.
Material properties: D3O materials will become hard or brittle at low temperatures, affecting their protection. SPO uses a specific chemical composition or formula that can maintain good flexibility and energy absorption at low temperatures, while D3O may become harder as the temperature drops, affecting comfort and protection.
Molecular structure: The working principle of D3O relies on the molecules in the material to quickly lock and form a protective layer when impacted. If the temperature is too low, it may affect the mobility of these molecules and their response speed. In contrast, SPO materials use a different molecular structure or mechanism to enable them to work effectively in low-temperature environments.
Application scenarios: For those who need to work in extremely cold weather conditions (such as winter sports enthusiasts, outdoor workers, etc.), choosing SPO gaskets with better cold resistance can provide more reliable and comfortable protection.
