Explanation of Resin
+”IM8 Silica Nano Matrix (SNM) resin ™ Composites feature a revolutionary technology that transforms how carbon fiber materials perform. This breakthrough is enabled by the unique ability to formulate resin systems with high concentrations of spherical nano-sized silica particles. Because the particles are so small, they are able to flow between individual filaments of carbon fiber. This provides a dense matrix of strength throughout the entire composite. The resulting material enables designers to develop rods that are not only incredibly strong and durable, but also lighter in weight and more sensitive.”
+”Standard composite materials have lower resin stiffness. Because of this, they are prone to cracking or buckling under stress during a good day of fishing. The more nanoparticles the resin contains, the higher the crack resistance and overall rod toughness. The IM8 Silica Nano Matrix (SNM) resin composite material contains an astonishing 40 percent of nanoparticles uniformly dispersed and densely packed throughout the resin.”
+”While other companies have reported adding nano technology to their composite materials, none have been successful at adding more than single-digit percentages. For example, carbon nano tubes have a high length-to-width ratio of 15:1, so they are not able to disperse uniformly throughout the carbon fibers.”
+”IM8 Silica Nano Matrix (SNM) resin™ is truly a game changer that bends the rules of carbon fiber composites. The tiny, spherical nanoparticles create such a strong bond between the carbon fibers that rod stress is more evenly dissipated. This leads to a significantly stronger, more durable and more flexible rod. By improving strength and sensitivity, IM8 Silica Nano Matrix (SNM) resin gives you performance when it counts.”
