Our
STINGFREE
technology
is
unique
and
based
around
a
cutting
edge,
patented,
multi-layer
composite.
A
composite
material
is
formed,
when
two
or
more
materials,
with
very
different
properties,
are
combined
together.
The
different
materials
when
combined
will
work
together
to
produce
a
new
material,
which
combines
all
of
the
properties
of
the
previously
separate
materials.
The
base
multilayer
composite
is a
combination
of,
at
least,
two
layers
of
low-durometer
(soft),
comfortable
elastomers
and
a
layer
of
high
tensile
strength
fibers,
such
as,
aramid
(ballistics
fiber).
The
resultant
composite
is
thin,
light
and
soft
but
extremely
stable.
This
thin,
conformable
composite
will
dissipate,
absorb,
isolate
and
damp
large
amounts
of
impact
and
vibrational
energy.
The
multilayer
composite
that
is
clinically
proven
to
absorb
up
to
80%
of
the
vibrational
and
impact
energies
applied
to
it.
As
compared
to
typical
foam,
gels
and
rubbers
that
will
bottom
out
and
can
only
absorb
10%
to
20%.
The
StingFree
Composite
Technology
is a
patented,
unique
multilayer
product
consisting
of
at
least
three
distinct
layers:
21st
Century
Technology
The
StingFree
Composite
Technology
is a
patented,
unique
multilayer
product
consisting
of
at
least
three
distinct
layers:
1.
The
First
Layer:
Consists
of a
soft
energy
absorbing
elastomer
(low
durometer).
This
elastomer
(plastic)
exhibits;
high
impact
&
vibrational
energy
absorption,
isolation
and
damping
capabilities.
2.
The
Second
Layer:
Consists
of
high
tensile
strength
fibers
such
as
aramid
(ballistic
fiber).
This
fiber
layer
has
the
ability
to
stabilize
the
product;
and
at
the
same
time
absorb,
redirect
and
dissipate
the
impact
&
vibrational
energy.
High
tensile
strength
fiber
like
aramid
are
at
least
five
(5)
times
stronger
than
steel.
3.
The
Third
Layer:
Consists
of
soft
comfortable
elastomer
(low
durometer).
This
layer
can
be
composed
of a
different
type
of
elastomer
or
the
same
elastomer
with
a
different
hardness
(durometer
reading).
It
also
exhibits
high
energy
absorption,
isolation
and
damping
capabilities.
The
resultant
new
composite
material
is
thin,
light
and
soft
but
extremely
stable;
and
will
dissipate,
absorb
and
damp
large
amounts
of
impact
and
vibrational
energy.
StingFree
composite
technology
works
like
a
bulletproof
vest,
in
the
ability
of
the
fiber
layer
(ballistic
fiber)
to
block
and
spread
the
impact
energy
out
over
a
wide
area.
A
ballistic
vest
and
our
padding
composite
perform
like
a
soccer
net,
catching
a
soccer
ball.
The
energy
of
the
soccer
ball’s
impact
is
spread
over
the
entire
net,
dissipating
the
energy
and
bringing
the
ball
to a
slow
stop.
A
soccer
net
is
formed
by
many
long
lengths
of
fiber,
interlaced
with
each
other
and
fastened
to
the
goal
frame.
When
the
ball
strikes
the
net,
it
pushes
back
on
the
fibers
at
that
particular
point.
The
fibers
are
interconnected
and
extend
from
one
side
of
the
frame
to
the
other,
so
the
ball’s
energy
is
spread
from
the
point
of
impact
over
a
wide
area
and
the
whole
net
works
together
to
absorb
the
impact
energy.
In
the
StingFree
composite,
after
the
impact
energy
has
been
dispersed
and
decelerated
by
the
fiber
layer,
the
energy
will
be
absorbed
and
dampened
by
the
elastomer
layers.
