Softness and hardness before foaming (Shore A) |
Greater than 60 degrees |
Less than 20 degrees |
A popular metaphor for gel is the form between solid and liquid, which means soft. TPR gel can be made within Shao A1 degree, just like frozen. |

Softness principle |
After foaming, the material has pores and the density becomes low and soft |
Hole |
The raw material itself is soft + hole |
The sponge becomes soft by foaming, not the material itself; the TPR gel itself is soft and can be as soft as Shore A0, which is basically softer than the sponge on the market. |

|
Density and hardness change under 20KG/3.5CM thickness/1CM2 pressure |
The density changes from 0.05 to about 1, and the hardness is greater than 60 degrees (it feels like a hard plastic board) |
The density of the raw material itself is basically unchanged, the hardness is less than 20 degrees, and it still feels soft |
Sponge is more susceptible to increased pressure and density becomes larger and harder, so the sponge will sit and become flatter, and its support will become worse and worse. And TPR itself is soft, not afraid of pressure, because it is not foaming, so it has better support. |

3.5CM thick cushion egg damage degree |
Easy to break |
Not easy to break |
A single needle can break an egg with a pressure of less than 0.1 kg, while 50 kg sitting on an egg is not easy to break. Because the cushion and buttocks make the egg more stressed, the pressure is dispersed. The benefit to people is that blood circulation is better, and it is not easy to get tired after sitting for a long time. |

In winter, use a cloth cover combined with warm plush and micro-breathability to keep your buttocks dry. |

Good dispersion and easy blood circulation. Poor blood flow in the limbs can cause numbness, pain, nerve damage, and ultimately tissue damage. Because TPR gel has superior encapsulation, strong dispersibility and long-lasting support. |

The stable and lasting support can bring stable and lasting protection to the arm. After using it for a year, consumers will feel that the sponge is getting flatter and flatter, and the support will get worse and worse. The density of the gel remains unchanged, and the supporting force is more stable. |

Sponge will age within a few years, gel TPR is not easy to age, and the feeling after more than 10 years is almost the same as new. |

Heavy |
Sponge becomes lighter due to foaming, it is easier to squash, and the durability of support is poor; non-foaming and soft gel will be heavier, but its force dispersion and support will be better, and it can bring more Lasting and stable support. |

The endurance of different parts of a person is different, and it needs to correspond to it to conform to human mechanics, otherwise the person is easy to get tired. Sponge cannot make it have different density according to different human body shape, because the density of foaming in the mold is the same; the gel can adjust the supporting force of different parts according to the human body shape using the size of the holes and the thickness of the ribs, which is more in line with human mechanics . |
