Dow’s Latest Technology Has Impact by Design
Midland, Mich.–based Dow Corning introduced its latest Deflexion technology at the recent ISPO trade show in Munich, Germany.
Designed for impact protection, Deflexion silicones allow for comfort, enhanced fit and freedom of movement in high-performance protective apparel and equipment, according to Dow.
Deflexion materials also perform under a wide range of temperatures and conditions. At ISPO, Dow Corning showed Deflexion’s use in athletic apparel and footwear for snowboarding and wakeboarding. Professional wakeboarder and Deflexion brand ambassador Matt Crowhurst was at the trade show to discuss his role in designing a custom wakeboarding impact vest with Deflexion materials.
