Material:

Flash: Thermal set resin

Blazer: Thermo-plastic

Thermal-set polyurethane
The Flash is made from a thermal-set resin compound and molded into strips.  A polyurethane thermal-set resin is inherently superior to extruded plastic.

 Thermo-Plastic
The Blazer is made from long strips of thermal plastic. The extrusion process involves heating plastic material and forcing the heated plastic through an orifice.

   
Colors Flex-Fletch colors are brilliant. Our process, involving less heat than extrusion allows for brighter colors and less fade.
