HIGH-TECH FABRIC FOR OUR KITE SAILS<br />
FRAME OF SPACE AGE COMPOSITES<br />
The decisive quality features for a high-quality kite fabric are light<br />
weight, tear-resistance, and a resilient coating.<br />
The frames of all "<strong>HQ</strong> <strong>Sportkites</strong>" are constructed solely of state-ofthe-art<br />
composites that are used in aviation and aerospace as well.<br />
Ripstop-Polyester and Nylon<br />
Ripstop means fabrics that have been woven with a special<br />
technique and that are particularly tear-proof. Grid-like<br />
reinforcement threads are integrated into the thin fabric at<br />
distances of 5 to 8 millimetres. Benefits of modern Ripstop fabrics<br />
are their extremely light structure, low wetness elongation and<br />
very high tear resistance.<br />
Carbon Fibre<br />
Carbon fibres are a high-tech material that is particularly suitable<br />
for applications where a low weight is needed at a concurrent high<br />
stiffness. Carbon fibres are stiffer than steel, lighter than fibreglass<br />
and twist less easily. Kites with carbon frames therefore fly<br />
particularly precisely.<br />
The most important fibre that is processed into Ripstop fabric is<br />
polyamide; the fabric produced with this is called Ripstop-Nylon.<br />
Polyester fabric is also processed into Ripstop fabric. Polyester<br />
takes up only little moisture, is highly UV-resistant, maintains<br />
its shape even when wet and can be coated very well.<br />
Fiberglasss<br />
The strength properties of fibreglass fibres correspond to those<br />
of metals, but at a much lower weight. Fibreglass fibres are also<br />
extremely flexible and break-proof. We use fiberglasss specifically<br />
in the construction of beginners‘ stunt kites. With their "crumple<br />
zone", fibreglass stunt kites will easily survive the feared crashes.<br />
Transparent Mylar-Laminate<br />
Mylar-laminate is a high-quality layered composite that is produced<br />
of several layers. The core layer is made up of a highly resilient<br />
fibre fabric. The special benefit of Mylar is a high resilience and<br />
extreme form retention. Processing of Mylar film also gives any sail<br />
a particularly technical and high-quality look.<br />
Connection Technology<br />
In the connection technology of "<strong>HQ</strong> <strong>Sportkites</strong>", we leave<br />
nothing to chance with our specifically constructed high-quality<br />
"<strong>HQ</strong>" connectors. Form and material resist the challenges of any<br />
wind, weather and temperature.<br />
