Application Description
For serious board riders, rail and slick design and materials of construction are the keys to enjoying the waves. Slicks made with Surlyn® offer several advantages over lesser materials:
- "Projection": Resilient sheeting of Surlyn® brings added spring and liveliness to the board, helping skilled riders get more air and cut more athletic lines through the water.
- Abrasion resistance: Ionic cross-linking of Surlyn® makes it tougher than ordinary materials, more tenaciously fighting the scraping-away effects of sand.
- Speed: slicks of Surlyn® are slippery through the water, helping riders build and maintain speed.
Manufacturers of slick sheeting materials made of DuPont™ Surlyn® are familiar with the specialized needs and manufacturing techniques of board makers, and have optimized products serving many of the industry's top brands.
