Talk:D3o Lab

Question
Was the founder of this company really in King Crimson? Bubba hotep 20:07, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't deserve deletion
This company has invented a polymer that is being commercially produced and marketed. How could the product (d3o) of this company be a worthy article but the company that invented it not be one?

Expansion, continuing defense of deletion
I have slightly expanded this article and added both sources and links. Because of this, I have taken off the tags for linkless and needs-sources.

I would also like to add that although this company does not make the products that use d3o, it works with other companies who use this material. This is similar to companies like BASF, Dupont, and Dow Chemical. Sharkface217 21:41, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, I have detagged it for speedy as it was borderline anyway. But it does read like an advert, as does the d3o page, which I know you didn't create, but maybe would like to have a look at some time. Good luck. Bubba hotep 21:46, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Elsewhere
This is already better written in the d3o article, so I moved it from article to talk:

Currently, d3o labs is in negotiations with several companies over the use of d3o. As of October 2006, d3o is already incorporated into several products. The skiwear company Spyder has created racing suits using d3o for the U.S. and Canadian Olympic skiers. Ribcap, a hat company, has created hats with the product. Globe, a skate and surf company that also makes skateboarding shoes, has started making shoes that incorporate d3o. Sells, a goalkeeping brand, collaborated with d3o lab to create goalkeeping gloves and shin pads for soccer.
