Natural stone looking hold made of reinforced epoxy resin and natural polymers with fluorescent material. Extra ligth, made as "safety hold"  - under extreme compressive strength breaks without sharp pieces.

In a last few months one of our projects has been related to the materials for safety holds. By safety holds we consider holds made from material strong enough to survive normal daily usage for a few years, and most importantly, material which is not falling apart when subjected to extreme compressive strength. Insimply words, climbing hold can be broken/material may failed, but not failed apart and create dangerous pieces coming down from climbing wall.

Of course,this pro...

This hold was made from silicone based resin in combination with strong epoxy resin in order to reinforce natural stone composition:

Even very strong hold can be broken, from one reason or another. We made some experimentswith silicone based hold containing reinforced natural rubber fibres. If thistype of hold breaks (we used hammer) it does not fall from the wall, and there areno dangerous pieces falling down. We did not use the net of composite fibres,like some companies (HRT) do, but made elastic fibres to be a homogenous partof climbing hold.
