At Caco America, we believe in raising the bar for head protection. Initially popular in cycling and skiing helmets, Koroyd’s advanced technology delivers superior protection against direct and angled collisions, minimizing the risk of injury on site. Unlike traditional foam-based helmets, Koroyd features a unique structure of welded tubes that crumple upon impact, effectively absorbing energy to reduce the force on the head.
Unmatched Impact Absorption
The core of Koroyd’s innovation lies in its honeycomb-like structure of co-polymer tubes. Thermally welded together, the tubes are designed to control collapse on impact, efficiently absorb energy, and provide better protection than traditional materials like EPS foam. This feature reduces the chances of severe head injuries from the direct and rotational forces common in workplace incidents and offers peace of mind for construction workers.
Koroyd’s impact absorption surpasses other materials in several crucial areas:
- Direct Impact Protection: In case of direct impact, Koroyd’s tubes collapse uniformly, dispersing energy while reducing injury risk.
- Multi-Directional Impact: Koroyd also offers robust protection against angled impacts, often seen in accidents where traditional foam helmets may lack effectiveness.
Enhanced Comfort and Breathability
GE Safety Helmets are designed with more than just safety in mind; they also provide exceptional comfort for long workdays. Koroyd’s lightweight composition, with up to 95 percent air, makes helmets less bulky and significantly reduces fatigue from prolonged wear. Koroyd helmet’s open-cell structure allows airflow through the helmet, helping to keep the user’s head cool and comfortable without compromising safety during extended periods on-site. This unique blend of protection and comfort makes GE Safety Helmets ideal for construction and industrial settings. They meet and often exceed international safety standards.
Long-Lasting Durability
Durability is essential on construction sites, and GE Safety Helmets excel here, too. The thermally-bonded tubes maintain their performance over time, providing reliable, consistent protection after heavy use.
Versatile Applications Beyond Construction
Koroyd technology is now trusted in various industries, from military to construction. Its advanced impact protection is ideal for rugged work environments, making it a versatile option for any worker needing enhanced head safety.
GE and Koroyd are setting a new standard for head protection. With exceptional impact absorption, comfort, and environmental responsibility, we’re improving the safety helmet market. At Caco America, we’re proud to incorporate Koroyd into our helmets, offering the best protection for the job. Whether on a construction site or in industrial settings, GE Safety Helmets ensure you’re safe, comfortable and ready for whatever challenges lie ahead.
