Characteristics And Affecting Factors of Police Riot Helmets

As a professional police riot helmet manufacturer, Ki Ang has a top design and development team and 15 years of experience in the production and sales of riot equipment. Anti-riot helmets are important head protection equipment for personnel in the fight against terrorism and counter-riots. Ki Ang anti riot helmet factory will share the characteristics and factors affecting the performance of anti-riot helmets.

What are the characteristics of police riot helmets?

A riot helmet is a piece of equipment that protects the head and face from blows or other harmful attacks, allowing users to better respond to emergencies while on duty in law enforcement. Different components have different functions without affecting the user's normal observation; the neck guard is a component used to block and protect the neck.

There are some differences between riot helmets and other styles. In its neck protective layer, the outer layer is made of flame-retardant leather material, while the inner layer is made of PE board; when an attacker wants to attack the user's neck, it can play a very good protective role , because its four-button buckle can only be unfastened from the inside of the helmet in one direction, and cannot be unfastened from the outside.

What factors affect the performance of anti-riot helmets?

Anti-riot helmets mainly protect against two types of injuries, one is direct blow to the head from blunt objects or projectiles, and the other is against non-inertial penetrating injuries that may be caused to the head. Therefore, its performance determines its degree of security. So how is its performance affected?

In the case where the helmet is not penetrated, reducing the thickness of the helmet will increase the acceleration of the neck, hands and head, thus reducing the protective performance of the helmet.

The helmet lining is an important part of preventing non-penetrating injuries to the head. The choice of lining material and thickness will have an impact on the protective performance of the helmet. Generally speaking, it is more flexible and has better cushioning performance, but it is more likely to be crushed and fail. When designing, a balanced consideration should be given to the material and thickness of the lining.

Under the same working conditions, thickening the lining material of the helmet can extend the time the force acts on the head and improve the protective performance of the riot helmet.

The correct way to use riot helmets

1. Wear it tightly when using.

2. Before use, please check that the waterproof rubber strip on the mask and the forehead of the shell should maintain good tightness.

3. Overall strength: Anti-riot helmets can withstand the collision energy specified by the Ministry of Public Security and the penetrating impact of steel cones. For impacts exceeding this energy, it can only give you higher intensity protection and reduce the damage caused to you. Therefore, when a helmet has a major impact accident, it should be stopped immediately or sent to the factory for evaluation to confirm whether it can continue to be used.

4. Overall appearance: Do not apply oil on the helmet body or use corrosive solvents to clean it to avoid damaging the material strength of the helmet body.

5. The use period of anti-riot helmets is three years.
