Visconti Pininfarina Nanotech Fountain Pen (Limited Edition)
[VI-PINNAN-FP]
Visconti’s Pininfarina Nanotech pen has turned to FORMULA ONE racing! A new material has been used, subjected to a diffusion-based carbon nanotube treatment – thus impossible to remove – which is so strong that it is used by leading Formula One teams as Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes.

The light metal has a weight that is one-third that of steel while having better resistance to corrosion than even the best stainless steel and greater resistance to abrasive wear than hardened steel. It consists of aeronautical avional treated with carbon nanotubes and silver ions.

Characteristics of Nanotech
– Resistance to wear: six times tougher than aluminum, twice as tough as steel;
– Resistance to corrosion: twenty times more resistant than any metal;
– Low attrition-rate coefficient, self-lubricating mechanism;
– Excellent heat conductor, thus excellent level of writing comfort;
– Excellent antistatic capacity and absence of fingertips;
– Able to absorb heat and to re-emit it with ultra-infrared waves;
– Excellent antibacterial and antimould (bacteriostatic) capability, thus excellent hygiene safety level.

The body of the pen is no longer of the screw type; filling and changing the refill is now far quicker and simpler thanks to the magnetic closure on the pen’s barrel. It is also far easier to clean because the nib can be extracted even during filling operations. The box is made of the same material as the pen, Nanotech, and it echoes the pen’s mechanism.

The edition consists of 930 fountain pens and 903 rollerball pens. The fountain pen has a chromium 18 Smartouch tubular nib, available in several line widths.
