Carbon fibre weave has fibres 5–10 microns in diameter; which is composed  of carbon atoms weaved together. It has a particularly high strength to weight ratio.

Aluminium alloyed with manganese is a specialist alloy used for critical components in super cars which require a high strength to weight ratio. This enables the cars to travel over 200mph and exert g-forces of up to 6g.

Stainless steel alloyed with titanium and molybdenum has excellent corrosion resistance and strength to weight properties. The grain structure also gives excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic of temperatures −150 °C (−238 °F)

Ceramic lacquer is individually  applied to give an excellent exterior toughness.

The appointments including the nib, penclip and endcap are carbon coated. This technically advanced coating technique is used extensively in motor racing cars to increase wear resistance and reliability.
