SOVA Science: The Importance of Shore D Hardness
The Science of a Better Day
Many have asked about our Research and Development at ATI ( Akervall Technologies Inc.) Here is some of the science explained.
Shore D Hardness
Shore D hardness measures the hardness of semi rigid and hard plastics and indicates the resistance of a material to indentation. SOVA material* has a higher Shore D hardness when compared to EVA** which makes the material more difficult to indent.
* SOVA material (51-55) ** EVA material (15-45)
The Shore D hardness of the SOVA material is one example of the SOVA Advantage.
