CSP's material is lighter than carbon fiber and doesn't release flying fibers when ground down. It also doesn't cause discomfort or itchiness on the skin, which is common with carbon fiber. It bonds better with resin and allows resin to soak through the fiber braid more . This means the braid uses less resin per volume, resulting in a lighter socket. Additionally, it's more cost-effective than carbon fiber and offers excellent fatigue strength. The material has been tested in socket form under ISO guidelines for patients weighing up to 300 lbs.
