PX-V-156 RED MOLDING PLASTISOL VIOLET 10% Challenge Accepted

THE CHALLENGE From snowboards and bindings to clothing and video production, the team at Rome Snowboards merges the thrill of the ride with the business of making snowboarding gear. THE SOLUTION When approached with a thermoplastic composite technology that offered the freedom to add torsional flex without compromising on strength and power, the product innovators at Rome were seriously stoked. And, unlike thermosets, thermoplastic materials are able to be easily thermoformed to the exact shape required before inserting into the injection mold.
