Arai Helmet on Instagram: FACTORY TOUR
Vol.9ใEPS liner
Work process... (liner insertion process)
The liner insertion process varies depending on the model, size, and country of use, so there are hundreds of different types. Be highly conscious, carefully check the specifications, and always approach the helmet with a sense of nervousness.
Arai's proprietary liner has two major features.
Liner features โ (multi-stage foaming)
Arai's ideal is a round, smooth shape that has the "dodging performance" necessary for protection, and in order to achieve a round shape, we focused on changing the density of the styrene (foaming in multiple stages).
By using multi-stage foaming, we were able to properly control the thickness, create the ideal form, and ensure a balance of shock absorption performance.
In addition, the compact shape allows you to maintain a wider field of view when leaning forward.
Liner features โก (integrated molding)
In order to achieve โ , multi-stage foaming, it is necessary to assemble separate parts of polystyrene with different densities (separate type), or
There are two types of molding: one is to change the composition at the molding stage where the styrene beads are poured into the mold, and the other is molded as one unit (integral molding), and Arai uses integral molding.
One-piece molding allows for continuous absorption of impact energy from any direction without interruption.
The combination of a multi-stage foam one-piece liner and a round, smooth shell is designed to create no snags and disperse impact while the helmet stays in motion, making it ideal for real-world impacts. can be effective against.
No one knows what will happen when an actual accident occurs.
What we can do for riders is to improve their protection by doing things every day, no matter how small, that are better than not doing at all.
We will continue to make these efforts and pursue the power to protect.
In FACTORY VIDEO, you can watch the process of actually making a helmet, and we will show you the skillful techniques of Arai's craftsmen, as well as the way they approach helmets and their spirit
