What is D3O foam?
D3O® Recycled Foams comprises two grades of D3O® Zero™ materials and are the latest material innovation from the impact protection experts at D3O. D3O® Zero™ has been designed to protect the things that matter while innovating the manufacturing process to reduce waste.
What is D3O used for?
D3O® can offer impact protection because it instantly becomes more viscous whenever a sudden shear stress is applied. One of its biggest uses is in protective knee and elbow pads. In its normal state, D3O® behaves as a fluid, flowing easily.

Is d30 armor any good?
The current D3O works as well in jeans as any armour currently out there, but the new stuff is lighter and thinner.

How is D3O harmful?
D3O isn’t currently biodegradable or recyclable, and its synthesizing process is toxic. D3O is a rate-sensitive, soft, flexible material that has high shock absorbing properties, so it could be used in impact protection products – sportswear, motorcycle gear, phone cases, armor etc.
Can you wash D3O?
WASHING / DRYING // D3O® protectors are wipe-clean only, using a damp cloth. NEVER use cleaners or detergents on or launder your D3O® product. This may result in irreparable damage and will severely reduce the effectiveness of your D3O® product.
