The manufacturer describes this model  - "Featuring state-of-the-art Toray T-36 ton composite, carbon fiber woven blanks, combined with Phenix's "secret sauce resin," each rod is also uniformly balanced from tip to butt, and equipped with the dynamic actions you need for range of finesse applications."

 

What is Toray T-36 Ton composite ?

 

Are there any other companies using this material ?

 

Thanks in advance

Toray and Mitsubishi are the two largest carbon composite manufactures in Japan.  Toray makes a very nice highend product.  It's Phenix's way of attaching a quality name to their product (which is very nice!).  36 Ton is a way of designating the quality/strength of the blank.   While not apples to apples it's roughly IM-8 level.  I have no idea what Phenix's special sauce is, aside from obviously being their propritary resin.
