New fiber material strong as Kevlar
Upstate company Innegrity LLC. has developed a new material they claim has global implications going forward.
Their Innegra fiber is a high performance, low-cost alternative to Kevlar which can be used in boat hulls, bulletproof vests, Formula One race cars, helmets, ropes, skateboards, and surfboards. They are even talking to the U.S. Army about using their fiber in bulletproof tents, and are marketing their fiber in Europe, Turkey and the former Soviet Union right now.
I included their contact info for any local skateboard or surfboard manufacturers who may be interested. Since they seem to be ramping things up, now seems like a good time to get in touch with them.
Here is a short video of them showcasing their strong fiber by rolling back and forth over a surfboard – afterward, it kept it’s original shape!
(You may wanna turn your volume down though, the truck’s fan belt is squealing big time!)
“This gave us an opportunity to get to Europe two or three years earlier without having to expend a lot of resources from here,” – Brian Morin, Innegrity’s chief executive and fiber inventor.

What do you think about that?
Dear Sir/Madam,
Good day! We are looking for ‘bullet-proof’ sheet/fabric to reinforce fiber-glass doors. Please reply in this regard.
Best regards

I am familiar with this company. I am one of their early investors. I have since been searching for opportunities to introduce this product to others. How can I help you or have you already been contacted? Contact me at jerrys@pqsglobal.net
@ Anwar & Jerry:
Hello gentlemen. To be clear, I was just covering a story on them, like most articles here, and unless otherwise stated, I do not have any “inside” information that I haven’t already divulged in the article.
I would suggest you give them a call directly. If time permits, perhaps I will do a follow-up article as they get things going.
Thank you for visiting my site. G/L.
