… Mares created the first regulator made of carbon fiber? Carbon 42, the regulator second stage is made using the new SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) technology that makes it possible to manufacture carbon fiber components in complex shapes. The SMC technology is also used to mould components used in the Aerospace and Formula 1 automotive industry. The materials used to create the special carbon composite of the Carbon 42 second stage ensure a high level of mechanical resistance by maintaining physical, chemical, and thermal properties, even after prolonged exposure to high temperature and when used in corrosive environments.
Besides being an incredibly durable material, Carbon 42 is also an exceptional conductor of heat. This characteristic reduces the temperature drop, thereby reducing the chance of icing, which makes it suitable for dives in especially cold water! But that’s not all! The second stage case is 65% lighter than the same version in metal and more than 30% lighter than one made in technopolymer. Advanced technology, unbeatable reliability and extremely lightweight … now, all you need is JUST ADD WATER!
