Alconite ®
Fuji’s Engineers thought long and hard on how to make a guide lighter and stronger yet keep the cost down. After years of research they came up with Alconite, a special type of ceramic that offers strength, lightness, and durability. In fact Alconite offers 80% greater compression strength and is 20% lighter than aluminum oxide. Also through Fuji’s Diamond Polishing, Alconite boasts a finish that is smoother than that of Hardloy®. Fuji engineers were also able to make Alconite the thinnest and lightest ceramic ring available today; even 7% lighter than standard SiC Rings! Alconite is one more reason why Fuji is the undisputed leader in rod components.
