VAPOR SHIELD

ACOUSTIC

ラベラ社が提案する世界初のイオン蒸着処理を施した弦、ベイパーシールド。手触りを変える事なく耐久性を非処理のものと比べて約5倍に向上させる事ができました。成分を気化させ、10時間以上かけて燻す事で極めて薄く弦全体を処理する事ができます。コーティング弦は使用しているとコーティングの剥離やクラックが発生しますが、ベイパーシールドはこれがありません。液体に浸したり、塗布するタイプはあくまで表面処理にすぎず、使用と共に剥がれていきます。ベイパーシールドはイオン蒸着処理で成分を蒸発させ、プラズマを利用して化学結合させる事で使用しても剥がれにくく、革新的な耐久性を実現しました。手触り、サウンド、耐久性。すべてにおいてパーフェクトと呼べる新しい弦の誕生です。

VSA1152 VAPOR SHIELD ACOUSTIC GUITAR STRINGS – CUSTOM LIGHT 11-52

 

THE FUTURE OF COATED STRINGS ARE NOT COATED.

 

Welcome to the next generation of extended-life strings. La Bella Vapor Shield™ strings are like no other string on the market because the surface of the string is modified during the treatment process. Coated strings are now a thing of the past.

 

NO FLAKES, NO CRACKS, NO PEELING. NO MUFFLED TONE.

 

Using a highly sophisticated Ionic Vapor Process™ developed by Acoustic Science, proprietary compounds are activated in a glow discharge electromagnetic plasma, and the surface of all strings are modified. The result is a string protected from dirt, oil, residue, and tarnishing. Most importantly, string playability and life is extended without flaking or compromising tone.

 

THE LA BELLA VAPOR SHILED™ DIFFERENCE. The technology behind La Bella Vapor Shield™ is unlike any other string. The entire surface and full-length of all strings are treated with a nucleated polymer vapor material that requires hours of complex prep and processing; no spraying or dipping. The results are unmatched:

 

TONE. BRIGHTER than typical coated strings AND non-treated strings. Unlike traditional coated strings, Vapor Shield™ plain steel AND wound strings are treated, resulting in even tone.

 

FEEL. The Ionic Vapor Process™ improves the string’s surface properties, resulting in SMOOTHER plain steel and wound strings vs. both typical coated and non-treated strings.

 

LIFE-SPAN. Lasts 5x longer than non-treated strings.

 

ENDURANCE. No flaking after extended play. Impervious to grime, tarnishing and oil residue.

 

-Phosphor Bronze Wound & Plain Steel treated with Ionic Vapor Process™

-Slick mutated surface is resistant to oil and grime

-Made in the USA with American Wire

-Packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness
