Energy Absorption by Design

Nature shows us that round geometries are very efficient energy absorbers. In the automotive industry round metal tubes are being used for its efficiency. However they tend to be heavy and inflexible in design.

 

Tubular Core shows a very efficient energy absorption by turning Kinetic energy during the deformation process into heat.

For that reason it was already in 1994 when one of the world’s leading automakers chose Tubus core for its shock absorbing behavior.

 

Since that time Tubus Core has been used in a wide range of applications in:

  • Automotive
  • Railway
  • Body protectors
  • Sport wear

The Key Advantages why leading companies chose Tubus Core for its energy absorbing qualities:

  • Adjustment from low impact to high impact
  • Tubus core densities from 48 kg/m³ to 200 kg/m³
  • Cell sizes from 2.5 mm to 12 mm
  • Multi-density cores for different impact levels in same protector
  • Can be thermally shaped to even 3-dimensional structures
  • Multi-colors available for Brand Positioning
  • Large variety of polymers to chose from
