Yes...If I remember correctly in the mid 80's Scubapro originally said their plastic second stages were made from "graphite epoxy resin composite material" or something to that effect.Dan Gibson:Plastic has such a negative conotation. I think manufacturers would prefer you to use more exotic terms like composite and ceramic![]()
Now they are much flashier and state that they are "precision molded carbon fiber and technopolymer valve housings". That sounds so much sexier and higher tech than "plastic".
