are available in different shapes and materials. The following materials are used:
are highly elastic, resistant to chemicals and heat (up to at least 80 degrees), as well as resistant to abrasion. Abrasion resistance is an important criterion, especially in the tiling sector (must not stain or leave marks on the substrate under any circumstances). Material fatigue of rubber knee pads only occurs after years.
TPE is a low-cost, rubber-like plastic and the economical alternative for knee pads and knee protectors. Compared to rubber, this material is less elastic and not resistant to chemicals. These knee pads are completely unsuitable for use in combination with adhesives and mortars.
are usually foamed in one piece. They are mostly used in the do-it-yourself sector, as these are a cost-effective, usually only single-coated variant of knee pads and knee protectors. These knee pads are also usually neither waterproof nor puncture-proof. A cost-effective compromise when professional knee protection is not required.
Another criterion in the choice and quality of knee pads and knee protectors is the filling material inside, the padding. Cellular rubber is usually used for the inner padding of knee pads and knee protectors. Cellular rubber is shock-absorbing, permanently elastic and is not quickly flattened.

These knee pads offer even greater wearing comfort or the greatest possible support during your strenuous kneeling activity. The gel-filled contact surface of the knee pad guarantees an extremely good pressure distribution for your joints.
A further quality requirement, besides material and fit of knee pads and knee protectors, is the fixation or attachment to the body. The fixation at the knee joints is usually done with very wide stretch bands with Velcro above and below the knee joint. This gives you the optimum comfort at work: no slipping or cutting into the hollows of the knee. In addition to the fixation of the knee pads and knee protectors, you should pay attention to the breathable material, the durability, as well as to an unproblematic cleaning (washable at 30 degrees).
