CARBON EVOLUTION: WHY WE USE FORGED CARBON
LIGHTER AND STRONGER THAN TITANIUM, FORGED CARBON ALLOWS US TO CREATE 3D BINDING COMPONENTS THAT ARE TRADITIONALLY LIMITED TO PLASTIC INJECTIOn.
TEN YEARS
OF INNOVATION
UNION BINDING COMPANY FORGED CARBON:
A NEW AGE.
"we introduced all of our competence in carbon fiber and lightweight engineering into one stunning form to create the union forged carbon product line."

PROCESS ANALYSIS:
what makes forged carbon unique?
OUR FORGING PROCESS MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO FORM COMPLEX SHAPES IN A SINGLE PIECE, WITHOUT ANY WASTED MATERIAL. COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL, LAMINATED CARBON, FORGED CARBON FIBERS AREN'T ORIENTED IN ANY PARTICULAR DIRECTION, WHICH PRODUCES A MUCH STRONGER FINISHED PRODUCT THAT CAN TAKE ON GREAT IMPACT FROM ANY DIRECTION.

FORGED CARBON
Another "Industry First" for Union - Forged Carbon is the lightest and strongest material market. Nothing else comes close.
VAPORLITE™
All-New Multi-Layered, lightweight foam material provides premium shock absorption while maintaining board feel and natural flex.
SONIC FUSED ANKLE STRAPS
All-New 3D Direct-Connect core evenly distributes strap pressure and allows lateral freedom.
ULTRA GRIP TOE STRAPS
Multi-positional options with all-new thermoplastic anti-slip material keeps you locked in and on point.
UNIVERSAL MINIDISK
Minimal Contact Footprint allows for even board flex and is compatible with 4x4 and The Channel.
FORGED CARBON:
STRONGER.
“Forged Carbon is a technology developed specifically for engineering complex three dimensional geometries that need to resist stresses of variable type, direction, and magnitude.
When we started this project, I was shocked by the intensity of the loads to which professional riders like Travis and Gigi subject these bindings.
Forged technology provides the best solution in terms of weight, stiffness and strength.”
