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.
