Avon Grips: Best known for its advanced design ergonomic grips, Texas based Avon Grips 'secret sauce' is the durable and deceptively soft yet grippy Kraton synthetic rubber compound it uses. Based on research that has its origins with the U.S. Defence Department's WWII search for advanced new materials, Kraton is the trade name given to a number of high-performance elastomers manufactured by Kraton Polymers and used as synthetic replacements for natural rubber. Kraton polymers offer many of the properties of natural rubber, such as flexibility, high traction and sealing abilities, but with increased resistance to heat, weathering and chemicals; www.avongrips.com
