Alternative à la colle

Moi j ne suis pas d'accord avec toi! Je trouve que le FalcoBoosting remplace parfaitement la colle rapide...

Bon puisqu'ils sont visiblement assez dispos à l'ITTF (et moi aussi !), je leur ai demandé pour les nouveaux procédés et c'est Adham Sharara qui m'a répondu :

It is my pleasure to answer you.

At the moment this is not legal if it is done post-factory production. WE allow the factories that produce rubbers to use VOC-free substances to create the characteristics of the rubber that they want. But when the rubber leaves the factory, it must be free of VOC, free of poison, only stretched within ITTF limits, etc. If the rubber is treated by a third party after it leaves the factory, this is not legal. Maybe this rule will change in the future and perhaps the ITTF could allow the use of safe (no VOCs, no poison, etc.) substances to treat the rubber or sponge as long as the total thickness does not exceed 4mm, VOC-free, poison-free, and the surface of the rubber is even and flat. But with current rules, any treatment of the rubber after it leaves the factory is illegal.

Please go to this Forum and you will see my answer:

Pour lui, tout traitement post-usine est donc illégal, même pour le procédé de Breizhping qui ne contient pas de VOC et qui passe toutes les procédures de test ! A terme, ce genre de procédés sera sûrement réalisé en usine en collaboration avec les marques, voire même du booster comme il le souligne dans le forum qu'il indique. C'est quand même un peu ridicule. Falco ne peut pas le faire mais du joola boosting serait donc par exemple légal car fait en usine ! On va voir apparaître des plaques avec une date limite de fraicheur de boosting !

Visiblement, l'ITTF ne lâche rien et considère que ces techniques ne sont pour l'instant pas autorisées :
