The blanks in the photos above are 100% carbon. The main ingredient in the blanks that allow them to lift these weights without breaking is double bias carbon. The actual use of 45 deg carbon has been around for a long time. We have been using heavy grades (250-400gsm) for America cup components for around 10yrs but the finer weights suitable for rods hasnt been economical until recently. We have made blanks with T300 3k woven double bias and we also have the new material out of Taiwan (flat sheet double bias) which the blanks above are made of.
Pricing will depend on what build spec you want, as these are custom built to the customers requirements, can PM you with approximate estimates Carbine, we have the first O/H off the glue by Monday. As for the percentage of graphite in the blank, we haven't used any other material other than carbon graphite. Some other manufacturers use a percentage of glass and that's fine, we have used some new technology on our's which allows solely carbon to used, but be aware that in all carbon blanks resin is used to bond the materials when baking. A 100% carbon blank will always contain a percentage of resin, otherwise there is nothing to hold it together.
Just for a little info when you buy carbon you can get the uni down as low as 70gsm to over 300gsm. If you then use say 15gsm carbon scrim you can alter the percentage of cross weave in the blank, another words you can up the hoop strength by using the 70gsm uni option. With the uni coming in different degrees of modulus and now elastic type carbon (45deg), you mix all this with different taper rates and it all gets very interesting.
