About the company

Smart Fluid S.A.

Drawing on advanced chemical expertise, Smart Fluid has developed the world’s most advanced ready-to-use STF (shear thickening fluid) formulation. We have created a protective semi-finished product that hardens upon impact or when subjected to external forces.

Our material is flexible, leak-proof, lightweight, and designed for composite applications. It effectively absorbs kinetic energy from impacts, vibrations, and waves, while easily conforming to even the most complex shapes. Smart Fluid solutions have a wide range of potential applications.

In the defense and security sectors, they enhance the protection of ballistic vests, shield vehicles against shock and blast waves, and protect sensitive equipment through energy absorption. In civilian applications, they are used, among other things, in sports equipment, motorcycle protection, vibration isolation in construction, and automotive safety components, including noise and vibration damping in machinery.
