SEAC BM-30 - THE LAUNCH OF FRC™ TECHNOLOGY ON THE LATEST MADE IN ITALY FIN FROM SEACSUB
With the new SEAC BM-30 fins, Seacsub introduces the new FRC™ - Fully Responsive Compound technology.
It all started with the search for a polymer blend that would allow the company in San Colombano Certenoli to produce fins with performance similar to those made of carbon and glass fiber, while eliminating the well-known fragility issues of these composites.
They therefore developed a compound with unprecedented mechanical characteristics that Seacsub's design and production experience has transformed into a new technology dedicated to creating blades for even more efficient fins.
The FRC™ - Fully Responsive Compound technology thus meets all of Seacsub's production needs:
- Negative fins and thinner blades than previous technopolymer ones, thanks to the fluidity and specific weight of the material.
- The product design utilises the mechanical properties of the compound for an elastic response similar to that of carbon and glass fiber.
- No risk of breakage or permanent deformation due to the high resilience and high resistance to bending and breakage of the compound, even at low temperatures.
- Strength and high elastic modulus allow full exploitation of the typical geometry of carbon and glass fiber blades without needing to use reinforcing or protective ribs.
- Reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional technopolymers used in the sector and total absence of toxic elements.
The uniqueness of the SEAC BM-30 fins lies precisely in this technology that combines innovative materials with hydrodynamic and ergonomic geometries.
The compound used is so elastic and has such a high memory shape that - in an absurd demonstration - if we looked at the blade after rolling it up, once released, it would still have its initial geometry, with no permanent structural deformation that could compromise its performance.
Like the Motus series, the short-fin shoe of the BM-30 is made from two different materials, one stiffer for the sole to provide stability and the other softer for the upper to maximise comfort during prolonged use.
The blade of the SEAC BM-30 fins is angled at 30° to facilitate surface swimming and to follow the natural inclination of the ankles during immersion. The small stabilising fins placed at the end of the blade, at the point of strongest water current, prevent the fin from slipping sideways without compromising its proper flexing.
