Gurit Kerdyn ™ STRUCTURAL FOAM CORE RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE
Kerdyn™ is a thermoplastic foam developed to respond to the growing need for structural core materials and reduce product’s carbon footprint and materials waste.
Based on recycled PET and fully recyclable material, Kerdyn™ is a highly stable and adaptable core material with good mechanical properties, lower resin uptake, and then an excellent balance between performances, cost, density and processability.
Kerdyn™ is compatible with mostly all resin systems including vinyl ester, epoxy, unsaturated polyester and usable with a wide range of processing technologies including vacuum infusion, prepreg, wet lay-up, bonding, kitting, thermoforming.
It can be processed at high temperatures, withstanding high exotherms and offers outstanding chemical resistance, low water absorption and a very good adhesion.
Kerdyn™ is available in a wide range of densities and thicknesses.
Product can be delivered in Lite version with sealed surface.
Surface finishing options to provide more flexibility in shaping and improve processing performances (single/double cut, VIC, contour scrim) are available upon request.
Gurit can even tailor to your specific requirements through own kitting capabilities, please contact your local representative for further information.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
