Zotefoams plc (LON:ZTF), a world leader in cellular materials, has announced that it has entered into an exclusivity agreement with design and technology company, Design Blue Limited in relation to a newly launched foam material, developed in partnership with DBL, for high-performance impact protection solutions for the defence and law enforcement sectors.

Regarded as world leaders in impact protection, DBL designs and manufactures high-performance, shock absorbing and ballistic solutions under the D3O and Delta Three Oscar brand, producing solutions for global customers that include the US Department of Defence, Harley Davidson, Fox and Adidas. As well as being used by Formula 1 and NASCAR race teams, D3O materials can be found throughout a wide range of categories including sports, electronics, motorcycle, automotive, defence and law enforcement.

For the first time, Zotefoams’ ZOTEK® NC, a lightweight high-performance, nylon-based foam, will be designed into D3O’s highly effective body armour and ballistic helmet liner systems – offering high levels of impact protection at very light weight.

This partnership perfectly aligns with our purpose of creating optimal material solutions for the benefit of society.”

By combining D3O’s strengths of protecting people, with Zotefoams’ unique technology, we are introducing a new era of ultra-lightweight, environment-stable ballistic protection that will re-define the industry standard of protection.”
