Sector overview

In sport, the athlete’s performance and enjoyment should never be compromised by the equipment he/she uses.
For this reason, LATI, listening closely to the demands of professional and amateur sportsmen and women and fitness enthusiasts, delivers light and very rigid super-structural compounds that can be used in place of metal alloys, thermosets, wood and composites; it also offers density-controlled materials for heavy or very light parts, impact-resistant grades that are safe even in cold weather, highly aesthetic products, also made with resins suitable for sun exposure, and so on.

Water sports

Sunlight, salt water, temperature, shocks and chemical aggression.
Even the most basic pieces of equipment used in diving, for example, have to take into account all of these, potentially dangerous, factors.
LATI compounds, strengthened by the presence of resins such as PEEK and glass- and carbon-based structural reinforcements, are able to withstand all these stresses, and are also lighter in weight and less expensive.

Outdoor sports

Mountain biking, climbing, gliding, walking, horse riding, skiing, fishing and rehabilitation… no sports sector is a stranger to LATI and its special materials.
Wherever there is a need to combine extreme mechanical strength with lightness, resistance to aging, durability, aesthetics and competitive prices, LATI is there!

Shooting

Pistol, rifle or bow? Whatever kind of shooting you practise, the weapon you use must be light, accurate, robust, reliable ... and beautiful!
Modern rifles can be equipped with light and reinforced butts and handguards made of engineering polymers, and these materials can also be used on pistols, bows and crossbows.
Shooting enthusiasts can also find environment-friendly polymer bullets.

Motor sports

Having the support of a trusted compounder specialised in “tailor-made” products means having at your disposal the perfect material for producing items in very small batches.

For limited production vehicles, as well as for large series, LATI is able to provide compounds for aesthetic, electrical and structural mechanical parts able to withstand very high temperatures.
