The best part about starting a new company is that you get the opportunity to
choose the ideal materials. We have put together what we think is the best
possible combination for durability, performance and longevity.
We started to develop our first wing on a clean sheet of paper. The choice of
materials was one of the first problems to solve. In the end we chose the material
that we knew would do its particular job best. End of story. Here's what OZONE
gliders are made of:
Upper-surface
Gelvenor silicone-coated sailcloth from South Africa. High tenacity 100%
polyamide, weight 49g/m2. We consider that this has the best resistance to
ageing of any sailcloth currently on the market.
Lower-surface
Porcher-Marine sailcloth from France. High tenacity Ripstop Nylon
45g/m2 SO finish. This tried-and-tested cloth gives the best strength-for-weight
ratio going, combined with good durability.
Ribs
Porcher-Marine again. High tenacity Ripstop Nylon 45g/m2 FM finish.
This has been selected for stability and resistance to stretch - vital if a glider is to
keep its safe-flying characteristics for a long time.
Leading-edge reinforcement
Double-laminated Mylar. Selected for long-term durability, this ensures that your
glider's take-off characteristics will remain consistently good for season after
season.
Lines
Edelrid has long been one of the market leaders in the manufacture of
suspension line. We chose their High Modulus Aramid for its stretch resistance,
high thermal tolerance and acknowledged durability. The lower lines are strength
and age tested by the DHV. The supple sheath helps prevent lines tangling and
kinking, which is important for longevity.
Line specifications: 80/120/160/200 kg breaking strength.
Risers and hardware
Riser webbing - 20/25mm zero-stretch polyester webbing.
Shackles - High quality Delta maillons from Maillon Rapide.
Pulleys - AustriAlpin aluminium mini pulleys with brass roller.
All these components have been chosen for their renowned quality and durability.
