Using composite materials developed by NASA for space exploration, Luxfer pioneered an innovative process for mass-producing cylinders that are even lighter than aluminum cylinders. Luxfer composite cylinders feature a lightweight aluminum liner that is fully wrapped in layers aerospace-grade carbon fiber in a durable, impact-resistant epoxy matrix. Composite paintball cylinders operate at higher pressures than aluminum cylinders, providing extended game-time between gas refills.
