Is the cross-link plastic that Jackson uses for real?

I think Jackson Kayaks are the only ones using cross-link plastic. The cross-linking of the molecules makes the plastic stronger. However, working with the plastic is difficult and toxic, so you need special gear. Jackson Kayaks outsources the plastic molding, so they don't have to deal with it. I think most other kayak companies make the boats in-house.

I've seen a one year old used Fun and it had almost no scratches on it, supposedly because of the strong plastic.

Is this stuff for real? Is cross-link plastic significantly stronger?
