Aerialite X

A strategic partnership between BGF and specialty fiber manufacturer, Innegra Technologies has produced a brand new Aerialite innovation called Aerialite® X. Aerialite X is designed with a range of fiber combinations from 100% Innegra fiber to Innegra hybrid designs. The latest advancement comprises Innegra fiber co-mingled as part of the fiber matrix in both glass and carbon. Fibers can be custom-designed to enhance your product requirements. The result is an extremely durable fabric that withstands the most intense conditions.

Benefits of Innegra S Fiber

Reduces weight
Increases damage tolerance
Increases impact resistance
Reduces maintenance
Incredible strength-to-weight ratio
Hydrophobic: Does not absorb moisture
Vibration dampening: Boat absorbs the energy, making for a smoother ride
Hydrolytically stable: Resists chemical breakdown below the waterline

Benefits of Weight Reduction

Lighter boats can go faster
Powerboats benefit from being able to use smaller engines at a lower cost
Fuel savings for powerboats (fuel usage reports BoatTEST.com)
Less muscle fatigue in non-motor-powered boats
Less weight high up on a boat, reducing the roll and yaw, and improving the stability and ride
