We owe our pre-impregnated carbon sheets to a research dating back to 2016. This research was conducted by SAKIMA through its tests and subsequently in conjunction with an Engineering firm specialising in developing composite materials with particular expertise in the treatment of finished carbon products. We set out pursuing the goal of manufacturing a sheet with stratification made of different types of carbon and specifically designed for the archery industry lamination bending elements market. The engineers and technicians who helped us develop the product identified a stratification consisting of various and different types of carbon fibre. Each fabric comes with different features and with a specific function. Combined with others, each function gives forth a prepreg sheet ready for use and for gluing in stratification for high performance bending elements. The various tests we conducted on the sheet product certified a use thereof combined with the traction strengths of the bending element. The torsional strength of the bending element subjected to lamination with TRACTION CARBON is exceptionally high. TRACTION CARBON’s specific weight is lesser than 30% as compared to the fibreglass sheet. However, despite being lighter the elastic modulus is greater than 15% as compared to fibreglass. This determines less inertia of the bending element when closing upon release with ensuing enhanced performance thereof.
