LATI Materials for Safety and Design
For a company like LATI S.p.A., dedicated to the production of thermoplastic compounds for special applications, true success lies in providing reliable and innovative solutions to those operating in fields where safety and design are fundamental.
This value is fully realized in projects that contribute to protecting people’s health and safety, as in the case of the Safety First device by the Safe Riding brand.
Safe Riding: Safety for Riders of all Levels
Safe Riding, a brand born from the experience of TM Horses, has designed and patented the Safety First S1 stirrups to ensure maximum safety and comfort for equestrians, from professionals to enthusiasts.
The idea arose from observing numerous accidents where dismounted riders remained caught in the stirrups. Hence the objective: to design a stirrup capable of releasing the foot in case of a fall, avoiding dangerous situations.
The S1 stirrup was therefore conceived to open completely on the outer side, at 360° and in every direction, allowing the rider to free themselves immediately.
Technical tests conducted in Safe Riding laboratories have confirmed that minimal traction force on the toe is sufficient to activate the opening mechanism, completely freeing the foot.
LATIGLOSS 66 H2 G/50: Safety, Aesthetics, and Performance
The project, entirely conceived and realized in Italy, also stands out for its technological choices underlying its realization.
In addition to aluminum parts for the most stressed elements, Safe Riding has chosen the structural compound LATIGLOSS 66 H2 G/50 of LATI for the housings and coatings.
This thermoplastic material reinforced with 50% glass fiber offers:
- High mechanical strength and structural rigidity
- Excellent surface finish, free of defects
- Excellent dimensional stability over time
- Resistance to aggressive environments, such as stables and breeding facilities
LATIGLOSS combines robustness and aesthetic quality, two essential characteristics in a component that represents the perfect balance between functionality, safety, and Made in Italy style.
Technical Materials for Mobility and Safety
The collaboration between Safe Riding and LATI demonstrates the potential of high-performance thermoplastic compounds even in non-traditional fields such as equestrian sports.
LATI thus confirms its ability to support innovation, safety, and design with materials tailored to the customer’s needs.
