November 28, 2007 - SKYDEX Technologies Inc. Unveils Impact Absorbing Boat Decking to Commercial Market
SKYDEX Technologies, a Colorado-based cushioning and protective material company, unveiled its military grade Impact Mitigating Boat Decking (IMBD) to the commercial market at the International Workboat Show in New Orleans.
Originally developed to mitigate the extreme shock levels absorbed by military personnel during high-speed boat transit, the SKYDEX IMBD is now available commercially to anyone facing the injury-causing forces seen on the water.
"For the first time, we’re offering our IMBD to the commercial market,” said SKYDEX Technologies CEO, Mike Buchen. “The same technology used on Navy SEAL boats and in the flooring and seating of Humvees is what we use in our boat decking."
Repetitive trauma due to shock and vibration leads to acute and chronic injuries of the lower back, knees and neck. Repetitive shock and vibration also reduce operational effectiveness and inhibit cognitive skills.
The patented SKYDEX IMBD technology is specifically engineered to combat the impacts and vibrations seen in harsh maritime environments. SKYDEX’s proprietary formulated cast urethane employs a “cross hatch” design that is puncture resistant, UV resistant and anti skid. The dual durometer elastic urethane top surface is composed of a soft traction layer atop a harder moderating base layer.
Laboratory impact testing data shows that SKYDEX IMBD panels far outperform all other commonly used boat decking material for shock mitigation.
SKYDEX CEO Mike Buchen is available at booth 274 to answer questions. For more information, visit www.skydex.com.
