The raw materials for G-Flex™ high-performance springs are epoxy resin and advanced fibers such as E-glass, S-glass or carbon.

Epoxy resin is a thermosetting polymer or plastic that becomes permanently hard after “curing.” Epoxies are classified as “structural adhesives” or “engineering adhesives.” These high-performance adhesives are used in the construction of aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, golf clubs, skis, snow boards and other applications where high-strength bonds are required.

Pound for pound, glass fibers are stronger than steel. They have a high ratio of surface area to weight and an amorphous structure that gives them the same properties both along the fiber and across the fiber. Key performance attributes include tensile strength, modulus or stiffness, and fatigue resistance. While other fibers may have one attribute that is better than glass fibers, glass often provides the best combination of properties. Carbon fibers are known for their exceptional strength and light weight.
