Production Process

Idea and design

Our R&D team always researches and developes the high quality helmet to meet the market demand, as well as the customer's requirement on design and technique. From the ideation, designing, 3D simulation, to feasibility study are coordinated smoothly by the experienced experts and technical staff. We always accompany with our partners in all developing process for a best result

1

Molding

After the design is approved, Protec will make mold for outter shell, impact-absorting liner, and other component. With the technology, machinery and productivity, Protec is able to meet the highest requirements from the partners. Molds are always under standard checking and maintenance as scheduled to make sure the good quality and control the wear and tear during the ordinary use.

Hardshell

Protec hard shell is made from the with high stable and resistant transparent PC plastic (Polycarbonate) beads. ABS plastic (Acrylonitrin Butandien Styrene) is also used for some helmet models. Standard plastic beads are poured into the autoplastic injection for making shells. After sanded, shells are painted by modern technology in the painting room. We use good quality, color grip paints for the smooth surface without peels or scratch.

Monolithic EPS injection

The foam liner is made from expanded EPS (expanded polystyrene) at the ordinary temperature and injected into a hard structure, fitting to the head. High-quality black EPS has outstanding properties such as the ability to absorb force and minimize the impact on the skull, high durability, not being affected by humidity, temperature, or dust.

Pattern/logo printing

Protec factory currently applies 2 printing technologies to print labels: tampon printing and water decal. Tampon printing is for designs with no more than 5 colors and is suitable for printing on small areas. Meanwhile, the water decal printing technology can meet complicated requirements in coloring and can be printed on the entire area of ​​the helmet. In addition, we also use other specialized printing technologies such as metal decal printing, plastic printing, ... to suit each type of product as well as to meet the needs of customers.

Helmet accessory manufacturing

For each design, Protec manufactures the corresponding accessories, including chin strap and buckle, head circumference adjuster, visor… Each part is strictly monitored for production for the finished products that meet the highest quality standards, avoiding wasting resources and labor.

6

Complete and assemble products

The main and secondary parts, after quality control, will be put into assembly and finishing. The shell of the helmet is pressed tightly into the EPS layer to create a solid structure and protect the head from external impact. The accessories that are precisely machined and assembled for the high-quality helmets are ready to be tested and shipped.

7

Quality Control to finished products

100% finished helmets made by Protec are all tested for quality control before storage. Each helmet must meet all the criteria in the quality standard system of the factory, the customer, and the project. Even the smallest defective items are discarded.

8

Storage

Finished products after being checked to meet all the quality and technical standards will be inserted into the quality stamp (if any) and put into storage.
