UNEQUAL Technologies Garners Accolade From DuPont Protection Technologies; Wins DuPont(TM) Kevlar(R) Innovation Award
(firmenpresse) - KENNETT SQUARE, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/19/12 -- ®, the premier provider of head and body armor for soldiers and athletes, is honored to be the proud recipient of the highly coveted 2011 DuPont™ Kevlar® Innovation Award. Celebrating excellence in Innovation, Protection and Collaboration, the DuPont™ Kevlar® Innovation Awards recognize and showcase the best of Kevlar® and the ingenuity of DuPont Protection Technologies' customers through products and services that incorporate new ideas, methods, technologies or applications for Kevlar®. UNEQUAL won the award for adopting its highly proven military technology for the sports protection market, providing protective head and sports body armor that significantly reduces the potential for injuries across most sports from professional athletes to amateurs.
"Since we commercialized Kevlar® fiber in the early 1970s, it has become the leading protection brand worldwide," says William F. Weber, vice president, DuPont Protection Technologies North America. "DuPont™ Kevlar® is especially known for its ability to protect people in law enforcement, the military and industrial personal protection as well as other industries. The DuPont™ Kevlar® Innovation Awards give innovators the opportunity to showcase the incredible things they do with Kevlar® to help make our world a safer place today and in the future. We are proud to present one of this year's awards to UNEQUAL Technologies for its commitment to finding ways to incorporate Kevlar® into protective gear that better protects our troops, law enforcement officers, and athletes."
UNEQUAL® patented, force dispersion technology offers the best protection for any level athlete, in nearly any sport. Its effectiveness originates from the UNEQUAL® 3-Layer composite. The first layer absorbs and converts vibration and impact shock that enters the head or body, the second layer (made with DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber) blocks and redirects the energy, while the third layer is compliant and comfortable to conform to everyday activities. The UNEQUAL technology is versatile, adaptable and durable, meeting the highest standards from military-grade protection to sports protection.
"We are thrilled and honored to receive a DuPont™ Kevlar® Innovation Award," states Rob Vito, founder and CEO of UNEQUAL Technologies. "We believe Kevlar® has the potential to dramatically change the level of protection we provide our military, our law enforcement and, now, athletes. After careful research and development, we have harnessed the shock-blocking power of Kevlar® into a flexible, breathable and lightweight technology -- all essential attributes to today's protective gear. We currently hold more than 66 patents and patents pending for our UNEQUAL technology. We look forward to continuing our work with DuPont to further advance our protective material and expand the opportunities available to protect people -- from the battlefield to the playing field."
In addition to garnering the DuPont™ Kevlar® Innovation award, UNEQUAL Technologies received a $10,000 donation from DuPont Protection Technologies to be given to a charity of its choice. UNEQUAL donated these funds to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. This fund honors and remembers the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers in the United States.
Vito adds, "We shall never forget the great sacrifice that so many law enforcement officers have made for our safety. We hope our donation to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund will help provide a place for families and friends to honor and remember the courage and strength of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice."
