The collaborative team identified a move away from the traditional mandrel rolling production process used in Asia, and toward an advanced semi-automated continuous filament winding process in the United States.
Using this process together with an advanced composite polymer formulation from Avient would offer a better stiffness-to-weight ratio than that of aluminum and mandrel-made fiberglass.
The benefits were twofold: first, Carbonerro was able to increase design freedom and innovation; and second, the use of an advanced composite material offered a higher quality, higher performing paddle for a similar price point to that of the lower performing competition.
