COSMOLITE Samsonite is the only travel product company in the world to have use of Curv® technology. This new concept in thermoplastics is extremely lightweight and offers exceptional resistance to impact. Curv® is a new concept in thermoplastic materials that bridges the gap between commodity plastics and traditional fibre-reinforced materials. Curv® is ‘self reinforced’ because it comprises high performance thermoplastic fibres in a matrix of exactly the same material. Curv® is 100% polypropylene, but yields stiffness and strength values around 5 times those of regular PP. In addition, Curv® has a high strain to failure which in combination with good tensile strength offers tremendously high impact resistance, even at temperatures as low as -189 degrees Celsius! |  |
