OZONE MATERIALS

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 pos-
sible 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 mater-
ial that we knew would do its particular job best. End of story. Here's what
OZONE gliders are made of:
Upper and lower-surface
Gelvenor silicone-coated sailcloth from South Africa. High tenacity 100%
polyamide, weight 49g/m2. We consider that this has the best resistance to age-
ing of any sailcloth currently on the market.
Ribs
Porcher-Marine. High tenacity Skytex+ 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 sea-
son.
Lines
Edelrid has long been one of the market leaders in the manufacture of suspen-
sion 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 kink-
ing, 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.
