1. Absorbs energy on a near nano scale instead of relying on the mechanical properties of solid materials.
10. The main advantages of AgileZorb include:
2. Additional energy is dissipated by storing then releasing the energy through a gentle spring-like action.
3. 60% – 80% of the Energy Is Dissipated as Heat.
4. AgileNano produces AgileZorb™, a revolutionary nanotechnology-based compressible energy absorbing liquid.
5. AgileZorb absorbs, then harmlessly releases a significant amount of the shock, impact and vibration energy normally transferr
6. AgileZorb achieves ultra-high performance because the entire surface area of the nanoporous particles helps absorb energy.
7. AgileZorb absorbs a substantial % of the shock front's impact energy before it enters the torso, protecting from the primary
8. AgileZorb consists of nanoporous particles suspended in a specially formulated liquid or gel.
9. AgileZorb believed to be only material which reacts fast enough to smoothen and lower the leading edge of the shock front, co
