Adept Armor has launched Ivoryguard, a revolutionary ultra-lightweight foam that enhances ballistic protection while reducing weight. Integrated into their Storm Foundation Plate, it outperforms traditional materials in energy absorption. Capable of withstanding extreme conditions, Ivoryguard is ideal for various applications, offering a blend of durability, comfort, and advanced engineering.
Adept Armor states ” Adept Armor, pioneers in next-gen protective solutions, today launched Ivoryguard™: a breakthrough foam technology that defies conventional engineering limits. At just 0.068 gm/cc, it’s lighter than silica aerogel – often called “the world’s lightest solid” – yet tougher than traditional heavy-duty foams used in armor, helmet padding, and other high-impact applications.
In head-to-head tests, Ivoryguard outperformed leading materials by 20-360 percent in weight-adjusted energy absorption. Even that alone positions Ivoryguard as a major innovation in high-performance superfoams – as the lightest heavy-duty foam – but raw performance is only half the story.
It will become the material of choice for all those who demand protection that offers the best performance at the lowest weight, combined with extreme endurance and top-tier comfort characteristics.
“Ivoryguard closes the ‘impossible gap’ between weight, protection, and resilience,” said Jake Ganor, CEO at Adept Armor. “This isn’t just better foam; it’s a new design language for safety-critical industries.”
KEY FEATURES:
- Engineered for extremes: Far less temperature-sensitive than the competition, Ivoryguard maintains performance in environments from -40°C to scorching desert heat, and is currently being investigated for use in stratospheric drones operating at -50°C in ultra-high-UVR conditions.
- Built to last: Closed-cell foam structure repels moisture and chemicals while staying odor-free.
- Outstanding engineering properties: 180 percent elongation, 2.5 MPa tensile strength, and tear resistance exceeding 45 N/cm – a combination of properties which makes for a material that’s ultra-plastic yet damage resistant.
- Aerospace: Ultra-light insulation and structural support for high-altitude drones.
- Automotive: Durable crash absorption that doesn’t compromise mileage.
- Sports: Helmets and torso protection pads that are lighter, more durable, and easier to care for.
