Braeön is a high strength, lightweight plastic ribbon that bonds to itself after heating to create or repair almost anything you can think of. It’s as strong as steel, as thin as paper and will fit in anything from a bag to a toolbox. Here’s how it works: Heat the exposed ribbon with hot air or liquid. Bend and mold it to your desired shape. Let your creation set for a few minutes. The possible uses for this stuff are literally endless. Make a custom handle for your knife or hammer. Fix a broken hockey stick, baseball bat or even a broom handle. Replace a busted winch strap so you can tow your boat, car or debris. Craft a finger splint, shin guard or mouth guard. With a tensile strength over 2,000lbs for a single ribbon and a weight of less than a pound for 100ft, Braeön might be the world’s strongest and most adaptable material.
