When we reach for skis, a snowboard, or a windsurfing board, we rarely think about what they are actually made of. Yet it’s the materials used inside the equipment that play a key role in its durability, lightness, and performance. More and more leading sports brands are turning to modern materials – prepregs, in which fibers are precisely impregnated with resin already at the production stage. This technology ensures an even distribution of resin and fibers throughout the structure, resulting in high quality, consistency, and reliability in every centimeter of the equipment.
The composites industry is increasingly focusing on environmentally friendly solutions, as we discussed in the article “Sustainable development in the composite industry – a path to the future”. A shift in thinking is underway: performance is no longer everything – responsibility matters too. Composites are increasingly made from BIO-based materials, where the use of biocomponents is a real future for the sports industry as well – a future that combines performance with sustainability.
“Advanced NEMpreg materials make it possible to perfectly tailor the properties of sports equipment to the specific needs of the user, while also reducing the negative impact on our natural environment” – Bartosz Hekner from New Era Materials.
It’s worth considering what materials are used in the gear that helps you pursue your passion for sports -because it’s quality that creates unforgettable experiences. Behind every masterful turn on the slope or flawless glide across the waves stands technology – and advanced NEMpreg materials play a key role in making that happen.
