- VEP Padding
– VEPs are solids that mimic the behavior of liquids, which allows dissipation of shock waves better than any other material. The “solid-liquid” nature of VEP absorbs shock waves in all directions at once, reforming to its original shape at a rate that is slow enough so as not to exert outward pressure that could cause reverberations, but fast enough to regain its original shape before the next shock
– In laboratory tests, VEP has proven its ability to absorb up to 500% more shock than foam of the same thickness
-The unique manner in which VEP dissipates impact energy, makes it an ideal material for the improvement of health and safety in industry and commerce
– VEP padding is positioned in or in combinations of multiple places on the hand: palm, back of hand, fingers, thumb web area
– VEP is also used for body protectors and cushions to dampen impact and vibration
-Typical thickness of gloves are 1/8″ (3 mm) to provide excellent shock absorption and impact dissipation while allowing tactile feedback
-Also available in 3/16″ (4.5 mm) and 1/4″ (6 mm) thickness for specialty applications
