Betagel

The ASICS Gel Kayano 15 shoes with some Betagel in yellow into the heel.

Betagel (βゲル in Japanese) is a high-tech Japanese invention. It utilizes gel and silicone to absorb violent shocks more than seven times the amount of Alphagel.

As an example of the Betagel's effectiveness, an egg was dropped from a maximum height of 22 meters. It landed on a 300 mm² square plate of Betagel without breaking.

Japanese researchers developed the Alphagel prior to creating the Betagel, using a numbered class of gel by " α" Alpha, which was used as a shock absorption material for earthquakes.

Evolution and research " α" gel resulted in the creation of the Betagel, "β", which proved seven times more effective.

Many companies (automobile, sport shoes, etc.) have demonstrated interest in Betagel.
