Teknologi Skydd
- Ett helt nytt material
Först lite bakgrund. De flesta skydd som används för att förebygga skador tillverkas i plastmaterial som PU och PVC. I tillverkningen av dessa används kemikalier eller klorgas som är giftiga för både miljön och människor, vid direktkontakt eller genom utsläpp. Det finns också snällare alternativ, men då krävs en rejäl tjocklek för att få en bra skyddseffekt.
Vi vill inte tumma på vare sig skydd eller design. Därför har vi utvecklat ett helt nytt material tillsammans med ledande materialexperter, designer och ingenjörer. Vi har tagit hjälp av Kemikalieinspektionen och gjort tester hos RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden).
Resultatet är ett unikt material gjort på giftfria och livsmedelsklassificerade komponenter. Det är bara några millimeter tjockt men ger ändå mycket god dämpning.
- Testat vid RISE
Under hela utvecklingsarbetet har vi gjort kontinuerliga tester av materialen vid RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden). Materialen har främst testats mot standard EN 1621-1 (för MC-skydd) samt EN 812 (för stötskyddsmössor). Eftersom det i dagsläget inte finns en representativ standard som är utvecklad för vardagsskydd har ovannämnda standarder använts för att kunna jämföra dämpningsfunktionen mellan olika material.
OICAN´s material har testats och jämförs med ett tjugotal andra material som finns på marknaden idag och visar mycket goda dämpningsegenskaper trots att det endast är ett fåtal millimeter tjockt.
- Certifierad
Produkten är Certifierat enligt EU-direktiv 89-686/EEC, riskkategori 1. Läs mer om detta här.
- Giftfritt
Det skyddande materialet inuti plagget består av samma giftfria polymerer som brukar användas i nappar, leksaker och medicinska produkter. Plaggets tyg är Oeko-Tex-märkt och innehåller inga skadliga kemikalier som kan irritera huden.
THE MATERIAL
About our protection
We are happy to share our brand new material that is created with both children and the environment in mind. Traditional plastic materials used to make shelters can sometimes contain chemicals that do not benefit our planet or our children. Therefore, we felt it was time for a change.
Together with experts in materials and design, we have developed a unique material that is both non-toxic and made from food grade components. The material is thin but at the same time effective when it comes to protecting against shocks and bangs.
The OICAN Safe Hat is more than just a hat. It is designed with care to give children the highest level of protection, while being comfortable and looking good. The protective material is placed on the most exposed parts of the head - the forehead and the back of the head - to offer extra security during play and activities.
Our protection is designed to fit perfectly on the head and is thickest where it is needed most, to provide the best possible protective effect. And you can be sure that the cap fits comfortably without affecting your child's hearing, as the area around the ears is unprotected.
We would like to remind everyone that our cap is not intended as a replacement for a helmet during activities with a higher risk of injury, such as cycling or skiing. But we are convinced that it will become a favorite among children when it comes to everyday play and adventure.

About our protection
Safety in everyday life
We are thrilled to share our brand-new material, created with care for both children and the environment. Traditional plastic materials used for protection sometimes contain chemicals that are not beneficial for our planet or our children. That's why we felt it was time for a change.
Together with experts in materials and design, we have developed a unique material that is both non-toxic and made from food-grade components. The material is thin yet highly effective at protecting against impacts and shocks.
OICAN Safe Hat is more than just a hat.
It is thoughtfully designed to provide children with the highest level of protection while being comfortable and stylish. The protective material is strategically placed on the most vulnerable parts of the head - the forehead and back of the head - to offer extra safety during play and activities.
Our protection is designed to fit perfectly on the head, with thicker padding where it's needed most for maximum protective effect. And you can rest assured the hat fits comfortably without affecting your child's hearing, as the area around the ears is unprotected.
Please note that our hat is not intended as a replacement for a helmet during high-risk activities like cycling or skiing. However, we are confident it will become a favorite for everyday play and adventures.
