Nodus Factory uses PA11, a biosourced polyamide, in sailboat fittings for several reasons

Strength and durability:

• PA11 is a high-performance polyamide that offers exceptional mechanical strength and durability.

• It is UV, abrasion and chemical resistant, making it ideal for use in marine environments.

• PA11 is also highly fatigue resistant, meaning it can withstand heavy loads for long periods of time without deteriorating. Lightness:

• PA11 is a very light material, which is important for sailboats because it helps reduce the overall weight of the boat. • This helps improve the performance of the boat, particularly regarding speed and maneuverability. Ease of use :

• PA11 is a material that is easy to machine and transform, which makes it possible to manufacture complex and precise fittings.

• It is also easy to repair, which is important in the event of breakage or wear.

Respect the environment :

• PA11 is a recyclable and biodegradable material, which makes it an ecological choice for sailboat fittings.

• Nodus Factory is committed to using sustainable and environmentally friendly materials in its products. Examples of applications of PA11 in Nodus Factory fittings for sailboats:
