Technology: Thermoform Composite Technology

Eddyline has been a leader of innovation in manufacturing and design technology throughout our history. In 1995, the company pioneered thermoform composite technology for the construction of kayaks. While thermoforming is a standard manufacturing process, the raw materials used vary significantly between kayak manufacturers. Our proprietary Carbonlite™ material is the result of years of refinement. Carbonlite looks and performs like fiberglass with clear advantages over other plastics:
