YEAR ELEVEN
When you look at the reasons why Union
has been on such a tremendous run over
the past 11 years - the engineering precision,
durability, and progressive innovations there's a common thread. All of these things
(and more) make up the premium riding
experience and value for those who have ever
bought a pair.
Value also applies to high-end “difference
making” models like the much sought after
Ultra and FC. We have learned to apply
technologies that cost hundreds of thousands
of Euros on a high performance sports car,
and have applied it to our world. Forged
Carbon has earned and proven its relevance
in snowboarding.
Nowhere is our commitment to product
progression and value better expressed than
in our all-new 15/16 Contact and ST models.
Completely new designs from top to bottom,
these models make a very big statement
that there’s no such thing as “entry-level” in
our quest to supply snowboarders the best
bindings to ever hit the slopes.
Focus and dedication - The “Stronger”
motto not only stands for our product – it
represents all facets of the company. From
product, to delivery, sales & customer
service… From arguably the best team in
snowboarding, to the amazing friendships
and genuine approach to doing business…
Welcome to Year Eleven of the Union
Binding Company.
STRONGER.
EVOLUTION: YEAR ELEVEN
UNIONBINDINGCOMPANY.COM
The perfect binding is more than a mechanism.
It’s more than a tool. It’s more than the sum of
baseplate, highback, straps and hardware.
The perfect binding is the catalyst to creating
the ultimate connection between rider and
board—and that connection spells freedom.

THE TECHNOLOGY:
TOTAL INNOVATION.
Union is 100% devoted to making the best bindings on the planet - we eat, live and
breathe it. Every part of the process is done in-house with zero outsourcing, making
Union the only major binding brand in the world producing its own gear.
GRADE 8.8 HARDWARE
FORGED CARBON
Another “Industry First” for Union – Forged
Carbon is the lightest and strongest material
on the market today and delivers peak
performing heelside response and control.
Nothing else comes close.
The most commonly used hardware is made
from “mild steel” that has a property class
of only 4.6. Considering how much stress
a binding is put under, we use only the
strongest steel (featuring a property class of
8.8) on ALL steel hardware.
SONICFUSED STRAPS
MAGNESIUM
SonicFuse is a multilayer composite, fused
together to form a single articulated strap
component. A new approach to minimize
stitching and increase overall durability.
This high-tech process produces a material
four times the strength of aluminum with
only half the weight. Plus magnesium is
easily recycled and remains the eighth most
abundant element on the planet.
EXTRUDED ALUMINUM
MACHINED CORING
Extruded aluminum is one hundred percent
pure and maintains its true shape no matter
how much wear and tear you inflict upon
it. Union was the first company to bring
the extrusion process to snowboarding and
remains the only one using it.
The CNC process removes excess material
to decrease overall weight, while maintaining
the strength and integrity of each part. This
expensive and time-consuming process
demonstrates our commitment to
product progression.
MINIDISK
ANODIZED ALUMINUM
STRONGER.
By increasing the thickness of the natural
surface oxide layer, the anodizing process
beefs up a metal’s strength by thirty percent.
It’s also significantly lighter than normal
hardware.
Aside from a soft EVA cushion, the only
binding-to-board contact here is a small
ring around the disk. A smaller disk means a
smaller binding footprint. A smaller footprint
allows your board to flex and perform
more naturally.
DURAFLEX™ NYLON
VAPORLITE 2.0
After a year on the market and a virtually
zero warranty return rate, we've expanded
our exclusive Duraflex material to three
levels: Duraflex, Duraflex ST (increased
fiber), and Duraflex CB (carbon injected).
Customized performance has been taken to
another level.
Vaporlite 2.0 is the evolution of closed
cell foam often featured on high-end
running shoes. This water resistant, durable
material maintains it's superior dampening
characteristics in cold temperatures,
providing a cushioned ride that can't be
matched.

DURAFLEX.

Duraflex CB, Duraflex ST, and Duraflex.
MD BASEPLATE
STAGE III BASEPLATE
STAGE IV BASEPLATE
MD LEGACY BASEPLATE
STAGE V BASEPLATE
TRILOGY II BASEPLATE
The MD Baseplate is designed for a
softer flex allowing total freedom and
a surfy board feel. Once injected with
Duraflex CB the Ultra's stiffness and
performance are significantly increased.
Responsive by design, once injected
with Duraflex CB, the Stage III Atlas
baseplate becomes an even stiffer all
mountain ripping machine worthy of
Kazu Kokubo. Featured on the FC and
Atlas Models.
An indestructible, stiff and responsive design - the Stage IV base is the
perfect choice for all mountain freestyle
snowboarding & season after season
durability. A favorite of both Travis Rice
and Dan Brisse.
High-end women's performance starts
from the baseplate up. With a mere 5%
binding-to-board contact area, the MD
Legacy base is injected with Duraflex
ST, providing a platform for incredible
response and board feel.
100% new for 15/16, the freestyle
oriented Stage V Baseplate comes
canted with Duraflex injection. Ideal for
those looking for more response at a
price that won't be beat.
The lightest traditional women's base

FORGED CARBON:
“The benefits of Forged Carbon
are obvious on a single run
through the park. Ultimate

just a solid feeling.” -Gigi Rüf
Forged Carbon is a technology
developed specifically for engineering
complex three-dimensional geometries
that need to resist stresses of variable
type, direction, and magnitude.

WOVEN CARBON:
Strength, weight and durability of
laminated carbon is very inconsistent
