VULCAN 10 LB BUMPER PLATES - PAIR (BLACK)Vulcan 10 lb Bumper Plate Vulcan Bumper Plates are built to endure the rigors of Olympic Weightlifting and CrossFit workouts. Unlike lower-priced brands, our Bumper Plates are made of a harder and denser rubber compound, resulting in a much thinner profile that allows for more plates to fit on the bar. Others claim to have equivalent rubber hardness, but their 10 lb and 15 lb bumper plates often "waffle" easily when dropped. They offer minimal or no posted warranty on their bumper plates and state that their plates are not made for dropping. Vulcan Bumper Plates Are Made To Be Dropped! The typical bumper plate has a thin pressed steel insert that can come out over time with repeated drops. Our inserts are forged solid steel and anchored into the plate. We were the first to introduce this technology in 2011, and to this day, we have replaced fewer than two dozen bumper plates out of thousands of tons sold. One noticeable feature of our bumper plates is how snugly they fit together on the bar, along with the dead blow/low bounce effect they exhibit when dropped. This creates a distinct sound compared to the clanking and basketball-like rebounding typical of lesser brands. Be aware that low-cost bumper plates are made from low-cost materials. They are made with recycled materials and use chemicals in processing that contain PAHS. Inferior methods of processing produce low-grade rubber with high levels of surface defects and high odor. Vulcan bumper plates are PAHS free and made from first-use natural virgin rubber.Vulcan 10 lb Bumper Plate Specifications: Diameter: Made to IWF (International Weightlifting Federation) standard: 450 mm (17.7 inches).; Material: Solid rubber bumper plates made from virgin rubber (not recycled).; Bounce: Low bounce for safety.; Platform Use: Safe for platform use.; Testing: Tested to 30,000 drops from a height of 9 feet without deformation or damage.; Shore Durometer: A rating of 88.7 - 89.1.
