CARBON TECHNOLOGY

Throughout all of the ROYAL sticks, we make use of various compunds to create the best possible stick, see some terminology below:

 

PREMIUM JAPANESE TORAY CARBON:

This is the carbon which makes up most of the stick, but what is it? Toray's T300 standard modulus carbon fibres are a recognized industry standard, having been in production since 1971. T700S is a high tensile strength, standard modulus carbon fibre which is another standard industrial fibre. So the carbon we use in our sticks is of industry standard and it is commonly used amongst most hockey brands. 

 

ARAMID KEVLAR:

Aramid (Kevlar) Aramid fibres are a class of heat-resistant and strong synthetic fibres. They are used in aerospace and military applications, for ballistic-rated body armour fabric and ballistic composites, in bicycle tires, and as an asbestos substitute. In simple hockey terms, it is used to reinforce the stick to help ensure it lasts longer and produces the desired output. 

 

TWILL WEAVE CARBON FABRIC:

Sometimes referred to as a 2x2 weave, the twill weave is actually the most common weave type for carbon fibre parts. This pattern goes over two intersecting warps and then under two (hence 2/2) to create a woven fabric with a diagonal pattern to it. This is the layer of carbon fabric that covers the stick. This provides extra strength and stiffness to the stick, while still maintaining a lightweight.

 

TEXTREME CARBON FABRIC:

TeXtreme^® carbon is a new technology that came from the labs of F1 racing cars and is now also used in Airplanes. TeXtreme^® spread tow reinforcements are a uniquely adaptable, safe and ultra-light supportive solution for your carbon fibre composites. By using TeXtreme^® advanced carbon reinforcements you will attain an ultra-light solution that lasts. The benefit of using TeXtreme^® for hockey sticks is that is able to give you that extra power without adding much weight.
