the inner values matter
so a kiteboard is made out of?
Paulowina woodcore
Paulownia wood is derived from the Paulownia tree. The material is harvested from young trees, which are typically between 5 and 10 years old.
Paulownia wood is used as one of the inner layers in the core of a kiteboard, as it is light in weight and has good strength and flexibility properties. When used in kiteboards, Paulownia wood core gives them a good balance of strength and weight, making them easy to maneuver, but still stiff enough to handle high speeds and big drops. It also is a sustainable and eco-friendly option, as Paulownia trees grow quickly and are often used for reforestation and soil conservation projects.
carbon Fibre
Carbon fiber is made by heating a polymer, such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN) or pitch, to a high temperature while it is stretched. This causes the polymer to break down into long, thin fibers, which are then woven or pressed into the desired shape. The fibers are then coated with a resin, such as epoxy, which hardens and binds the fibers together to form a solid, stiff material.
One of the key advantages of carbon fiber is its strength-to-weight ratio, which is much higher than that of many other materials. This means that carbon fiber can be used to make lightweight structures that are still very strong and stiff. Carbon fiber is also highly resistant to corrosion and does not conduct electricity, which makes it useful in a wide range of applications.
However, carbon fiber is an expensive material to produce, so it is generally used in applications where its strength and stiffness justify the added cost.
EpoxY
An epoxy coating is a coating compound consisting of two distinct elements: an epoxy resin and a polyamine hardener (also known as a catalyst). When mixed, the resin and hardener engage in a chemical reaction that creates cross-linking of the elements as it cures. When the epoxy coating is fully cured, the resulting product is a durable, rigid plastic coating with numerous desirable mechanical properties. Epoxy coatings are renowned for their outstanding mechanical properties, such as hardness and durability, and abrasion, impact and chemical resistance. These attributes make epoxy coatings an ideal protective coating material for components in demanding industrial settings.
