EP COMMITTMENT.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.
Introducing our new 2021 EPU Holds Material
Over the years, we have done a lot of things first and once in a while find ourselves pushed to make a leap forward. Introducing our new EPU material, custom formulated for our full line of urethane handholds.
ASTM Lab Quality Testing:
- Taber testing
- Shore hardness-D (durometer)
- Density
- Flex
- Tensile strength
- Color matching
Commercial Gym Practical Testing:
- Tactile feel & granularity
- Route-setter wear analysis
- Climbing wear analysis
- Wash cycle analysis
- Accept screws without splitting
The EPU Improvements:
- Hardness & flex: set screw without splitting
- Life cycle for commercial facilities: abrasion/polishing resistance
- Calibrated colors: matching USAC competition standards
- New hollow-back tooling: consistent thickness
- Texture & feel: consistent dry texture
