	1968	Helmet	Riddell	TK	RAC-H8	Multiple	ABS & Polycarbonate		In 1962, Riddell had a short-lived flirtation with a Polycarbonate shell that lasted approximately one year. Used for the one-piece TK model headgear, the TK-2 designation referred to the new plastic material model but it proved to be too brittle to be enduring relative to the stress of football contact. Riddell ceased using this specific Polycarbonate material but retained the TK-2 designation, now assigning it to their TK one piece model helmet that featured the six loop/twelve point suspension interior and it was manufactured using the same Kra Lite as their other TK and RK helmets. In 1969, there was a breakthrough in the industry and Riddell began to utilize an alloy or combination of ABS and Polycarbonate for all of its shells. The addition of Polycarbonate allowed for improved stiffness and high impact resistance over conventional high impact ABS and the alloy was easier to process and less brittle than Polycarbonate alone. This alloy was termed Kra Lite II.
