INTRODUCTION
Gurit
Kerdyn Green has been developed to respond to the growing need for structural core materials
with stable properties and improved resin uptake performance. Additionally the Gurit
Kerdyn Green
allows to comply with the wind energy aim to reduce foot print and reinforce overall goals of waste
reduction.
Highly adaptable, recyclable, thermoplastic core material with good balance of mechanical properties, temperature
resistance, density and cost for a wide range of applications and processes.
Gurit
Kerdyn is compatible with a wide range of resin systems including epoxy, vinyl ester, unsaturated polyester
and phenolic resins.
Gurit Kerdyn can be processed at high temperatures, withstanding high exotherms and offers outstanding
chemical resistance, good adhesion; as highly consistent extruded foam, it is ideal for wind energy, marine,
industrial, and transportation applications.
Applicable processing techniques include vacuum infusion, bonding, prepreg, and thermoforming.
Available in a wide range of thicknesses.
