Vega and BASF have unveiled a concept helmet that it says will "demonstrate innovative material solutions and designs to enhance motorcyclists' >
.
The main focus of the project revolves around light weight and better ventilation to provide more comfort and safety for customers in the Asia Pacific region
.
The inner and outer layers of the new concept helmet use Infinergy E-TPU, which is said to have good shock absorption properties
.
Additionally, Elastollan TPU is used for the padding above the bottom ribs and Bluetooth, and while this provides a smooth and soft-touch surface, the company claims it has excellent abrasion resistance
.
When applied as paint protection films and electroluminescent (EL) light bars, Elastollan offers good clarity, scratch resistance and excellent durability, the brand says
.
In addition, Ultramid PA is used in housings, respirator and buckle assemblies due to its good impact resistance and mechanical properties
.
In addition, Ultraform POM for gears and other components has good sliding characteristics and good dimensional stability; Ultradur PBT is used for front air holes, component dust bags and filter bodies to provide good flow, aesthetics and outdoor durability
.
Speaking of the new concept helmet, Marilyn Lye, Vice President of BASF Performance Materials Asia Pacific Business Management Industrial Division, said that their innovation and the versatility of custom material solutions also open up design possibilities
.
He added: “You need more than just one product to solve a challenge – you need a variety of high-performance materials, applications, engineering, simulation and manufacturing techniques to develop new products and applications
.
He further stated that the brand’s co-creation Projects, such as the concept helmet, demonstrate how successful collaborations across the value chain can better meet market needs
