• Carbon grilamid

  Carbon Grilamid LFT® is a poyamide reinforced with carbon fibers that improves the elongation resistance properties and increases the strength of Grilamid® without increasing the density. This allows a reduction in the thickness of the shell and shaft. The result is a lightweight product with high impact resistance and excellent performance.
