Ricotest is the first Italian Research, Testing and CE Certification institute of footwear, gloves, clothing, impact protectors and in general Personal Protective Equipment for work, sport and outdoor.
The Ricotest laboratories conduct mechanical and chemical tests on a wide range of products to ensure compliance with the applicable standard.
Veredus is the only horse protection manufacturer to test its products with the rigorous and authoritative procedures of Ricotest.
Veredus Carbon Gel Absolute protections (front and rear boots) have been subjected to impact and abrasion tests that guarantee their protection and safety qualities.
The test was carried out by subjecting the Carbon Gel Absolute to impact and abrasion tests simulating the impacts of the rear horseshoe on the flexor tendon area and of the adjacent horseshoe on the fetlock area.
THE IMPACT TEST
The impact test is used to verify the impact resistance and absorption capacity of the materials.
Two differently shaped tools were used for the impact test: a 60 ° V-wedge and a hemisphere. The applied energy was 25 and 50 joules, the same that is used in tests for motorcyclists' back protectors.
THE ABRASION TEST
The abrasion test was done by placing a portion of the shell on a sandpaper roll using the same type of test that is done on safety materials. To pass this test, the material loss must be less than 150 cubic mm. In the case of Carbon Gel Absolute, the volume loss was 29 cubic mm, five times less than the minimum requirement!
THE MATERIALS
The materials were also analyzed from a chemical point of view, verifying the absence of potentially harmful compounds such as phthalates.
Carbon Gel Absolute is the new protection tested by Ricotest!
