ALUULA Composites collaborates with world leading mountain sports brand Black Diamond in the development of a next generation climbing helmet.
Victoria, BC, March 28, 2023--(T-Net)--ALUULA Composites, an advanced materials technology firm reported that it has collaborated with world leading mountain sports brand Black Diamond to develop ultralight and strong composite material for use in the next generation of their pinnacle climbing helmet, the 2023 Vapor.
ALUULA has collaborated with Black Diamond to develop a custom penetration shield for the next generation of this sleek, ultra-light helmet.
ALUULA material has a 44% higher strength to weight ratio than previously used Kevlar® (ARAMID), and reduced the weight of the penetration shield by 40%.
The new version of the Vapor weights in at 155g in total (compared to the previous model at 186g), enabling climbers to never compromise performance (or style) for safety.
"This collaboration with Black Diamond represents yet another area where the enhanced properties of ALUULA Composite materials combined with our unique expertise not only satisfy very technical objectives, but have the potential to supersede conventional materials." said ALUULA Composites COO, John Zimmerman.
ALUULA Composites uses a patented fusion technology to bond films to a UHMWPE core, resulting in a new generation of performance composite fabrics that deliver unique and superior performance results. This "process, rather than a product" perspective allows for a wide range of iterations to meet a broad range of applications.
