Visconti Pininfarina Nanotech
On the occasion of the 85th anniversary of Pininfarina, Visconti and Pininfarina are pleased to present the technological evolution of Pininfarina Carbongrafite.
With Carbongrafite Visconti led writing an aerospace material, unidirectional carbon graphite, with unique aesthetic technical characteristics. For the new Pininfarina pen was carried out a search in the materials used in the FORMULA ONE.
The material used for the Pininfarina Nanotech which is obtained by a treatment to carbon nanotubes to spread, It is unremovable and guarantees outstanding performance so as to be adopted by leading Formula One teams.
The new Pininfarina does not exhaust the innovations in the material but has also been redesigned the optical mechanism Kaizen, of continuous improvement.
"Innovation, design and craftsmanship of the highest level are the business of the collaboration between Pininfarina and Visconti ticket "says Paolo Pininfarina, Group President. "The continuous research on materials has led to the creation of Pininfarina Nanotech, new expression of our shared values "
The material:
And 'the dream of every designer to be able to have a light metal, with specific gravity 1/3 steel, that it is more resistant to corrosion of the best stainless steel and more resistant to abrasive wear of hardened steel and perhaps with antibacterial properties.
In fact, a drastic weight reduction (65% in less than steel), without renouncing to an excellent mechanical consistency, means for all the moving parts to reduce both the energy consumption that the inertial phenomena.
Well, this extraordinary innovative material has recently been invented by and named Nanoprom ADNC.
It consists of avional aereonautico treated with carbon nanotubes and silver ions.
Visconti and then Nanoprom have devised a formula perfectly adapting it to writing, with the typical characteristics of luxury products.
Nanotech ADNC Properties:
• Wear resistance, 6 times harder than aluminum, 2 times more steel
• Corrosion resistance, 20 times greater than any metal
• Low coefficient of friction, self-lubrication of the mechanism
• High thermal conductivity, so high writing comfort
• High anti-static capacity and the absence of fingertips
• Ability to absorb heat and reissue it with ultra-infrared waves
• High capacity antibacterial and anti-mold (bacteriostatic) therefore high hygienic safety
Technical features:
Pininfarina Nanotech has a completely revised mechanism.
The pen is lighter thus allowing a better writing experience.
The pen body is no longer lives but magnetic, filling and refill exchange are carried out much more quickly and simply thanks to the stem with magnetic closure.
Even cleaning is greatly facilitated because the stylus can also be extracted during the filling phase.
A simple click communicates both the aperture and the closure of the pen.
All metal fittings are made of titanium.
The packaging is made of Nanotech, the same material of the pen, and shall draw the mechanism.
The nib “Flextouch”
Visconti has just invented a new system for fountain pens fans.
We made, along with the new Pininfarina Nanotech, a large version "Flex" of our famous tubular stylus.
This nib Cromium® is shaped in a different manner, so the tips are much more flexible.
On the two parts of the pen it was carved one ?ZOT®? to allow the wings to work vertically being much more sensitive to the applied pressure.
The shape of the cut called "ZOT®" has been studied and tested in order to react immediately to the different
of the pen in the hand positions. It also allows the tips to work in horizontal having more space to open, thus allowing to increase the ink inflow.
