PORON XRD Technology is a first in offering
extreme impact protection while still ensuring the
user maximum comfort and flexibility. The unique
lightweight material has been designed to not only
offer breathability but maximum absorption and
dissipation of energy upon impact. The PORON
XRD Material is not only breathable but also treated
with an antimicrobial protection that helps prevent
the growth of bacteria, odours and stains.
PORON XRD Material gets its softness and flexibility
when at rest while above the glass transition
temperatures (Tg) of the urethane molecules. When
stressed at a high rate or impacted quickly, the Tg
of the material reaches the point when the urethane
molecules momentarily 'freeze' - like water into
ice. Thus the material firms to form a comfortable
protective shell that absorbs and instantly dissipates
up to 90% of the impact energy again and again.

By utilising this revolutionary material
in the two newly released AT 55 series
styles, Oliver has created a new and
unique solution for metatarsal protection.
Traditional and competitor materials are
inflexible, heavy and bulky and prohibit
air circulation within the boot. The
PORON XRD Material offers extreme
impact protection for the life of the boot
and enables a comfort, breathability and
flexibility never seen before in metatarsal
protective footwear.
These new styles and technologies
enable Oliver to remain at the forefront
of the Australian safety footwear
industry and further our reputation of
comfortable, heavy duty and tailored
safety solutions.
