What is the best material for motorcycle helmets?
Motorcycle helmets are devices that protect the heads of motorcycle drivers and occupants. The main purpose is to protect the rider's head when impacted, prevent or reduce injuries and even save the rider's life. The materials for making motorcycle helmets usually include ABS resin materials, PC and ABS alloy materials, glass fiber reinforced plastic materials, and carbon fibers. Among them, carbon fiber material helmets have better protective performance. When purchasing, pay attention to that in addition to the material, the qualified standard of the helmet will also affect the safety factor. The standards for motorcycle helmets include SNELL standards, national standards, and DOT standards. Let's take a look at what kind of helmet is safe. 1. What is the best material for a motorcycle helmet?
Motorcycle helmet, also known as motorcycle crew helmet, is a kind of equipment used to protect the head of motorcycle riders and lower motorcycle riders in accidents. It consists of a shell, a buffer layer, a comfortable pad, a wearing device, and goggles The shell material of a motorcycle helmet determines its quality, so what material is good for a motorcycle helmet? The materials of motorcycle helmets are:
1. ABS resin material: This is a kind of engineering plastic. This material is characterized by strong impact resistance and good dimensional stability. The market price of the helmet of this material is usually between 100 and 300.
2. PC+ABS alloy material: Compared with ABS resin material, this material has much improved strength and toughness, and has also improved a lot in low temperature impact performance.
3. FRP material: The helmet made of this material is made of fiber reinforced plastic, and FRP is one of the composite materials. Fiberglass helmets are lighter and stronger than ABS helmets, but they are also more difficult to make, and the output is lower, so they are also much more expensive than ABS helmets.
4. Carbon fiber material: this material is currently the best helmet material, it is very strong, very light, high technical content, but relatively expensive. Carbon fiber has high axial strength and modulus, low density, ultra-high temperature, and good fatigue resistance. It not only has the inherent intrinsic characteristics of carbon materials, but also has the softness and processability of textile fibers. It is a new generation of reinforcing fibers.
Note: There are also helmets made of PP material on the market. This material can only be used as a toy helmet, and the safety is very poor, so don't worry about it.?
