A completely new, non-foam based safety kneepad which 'memorises' its original form without reducing its cushioning effect from consecutive or prolonged use, is now being marketed to all trade and industries.

In comparison to most foam materials, which provide cushioning by air pockets that collapse over a short amount of time, tests have proven that the thermoplastics used in the new kneepads will perform at a higher cushioning rate for a much longer period of time than EVA or PU equivalents.

Called Redbacks because of the construction resembling the markings of an Australian redback spider, the kneepads feature a red coloured, soft and flexible TPE (Thermoplastic elastomer) leaf spring set within a honeycomb matrix.
