MATERIALS<br />
CARBON<br />
Carbon fiber<br />
Thanks to its characteristics of lightness and strength, the carbon fiber has<br />
become the material of excellence for the realization of ski mountaineering<br />
race boots. Carbon fiber is a synthetic material reinforced made of<br />
filaments that generally are soaked around a resin, which keeps them in<br />
place and protects them and with which we create what we call a resistant<br />
and light composite material. Among its features, in addition to the<br />
above-mentioned lightness and strength, we find a low density, discrete<br />
flameproof properties, resistance chemical effects and temperature<br />
changes, as well as capacity of thermal insulation.<br />
<strong>SCARPA</strong> ® has always paid the utmost attention to the choice of raw materials, relying on suppliers who have<br />
become true partners in product development.<br />
CARBON<br />
GRILAMID LTF ®<br />
Carbon Grilamid LFT ®<br />
The Carbon Grilamid LFT ® is a polyamide reinforced with long carbon<br />
fibers that improve the elongation resistance properties and the rigidity<br />
of Grilamid ® , without increasing its density when compared with the normal<br />
short fibers. This allows reducing the thicknesses of the shell and cuff,<br />
thus obtaining a light product but at the same time very performing. Impact<br />
resistance and solicitations are improved, allowing to keep intact the<br />
performance of the boots over time.<br />
Pebax ® elastomers<br />
Designed for extreme conditions, Pebax ® elastomers are a premium performance material that has been used<br />
for many years in winter sports equipment. They offer a unique combination of high performance properties:<br />
sustained flexibility at low temperature, high cold impact resistance, and outstanding energy return.<br />
These elastomers are typically <strong>20</strong>% lighter than common materials. They combine a polyamide 12 rigid block<br />
(PA12) with a hydrophobic polyether soft chain. Bridging the gap between thermoplastics and rubbers,<br />
Pebax ® materials are an excellent choice for a wide range of high performance applications in sport markets.<br />

Pebax ® Rnew elastomers<br />
Pebax ® Rnew materials are premium bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) made from the oil of the castor<br />
plant. They offer a unique combination of high performance properties: sustained flexibility at low temperature,<br />
high cold impact resistance, and outstanding energy return. These elastomers are typically <strong>20</strong>% lighter<br />
than commonly used materials. In comparison to the Pebax ® material, Pebax ® Rnew elastomers combines<br />
a bio-sourced polyamide 11 rigid block (PA11) with a hydrophobic polyether soft chain. Bridging the gap between<br />
thermoplastics and rubbers, Pebax ® Rnew materials offer a sustainable solution for a wide range of high<br />
performance applications in sport markets.<br />
GRILAMID ®<br />
GRILAMID<br />
FG LTF ® Grilamid ®<br />
This special polyammide offers a good compromise between stiffness and<br />
rebound; allowing a gradual transmission of the impulses from the boot to<br />
the ski during the ski phase.<br />
Grilamid FG LFT ®<br />
This material is reinforced with long glass fiber. This creates products<br />
that have highest strength and stiffness values with a percentage parity<br />
compared to a short-fiber, suitable for lightweight applications. The<br />
long-fiber structure provides <strong>20</strong>% to 30% higher stiffness. All long fiber<br />
reinforced polyamides exhibit higher notched impact strength values<br />
compared to normal compounds.<br />
