Materials
Checkerspot - Rigid PU Foam
Closed cell structure foam; Utilizes water as a blowing agent; 41.58% biobased content by ASTM D6866; No added mercury, tin, MOCA, or TDI; High density foam.
Checkerspot - Cast Urethane
Hardness, flexural strength and impact resistance can be tuned to meet needs of the end-use application; Can be pigmented in an array of colors; Up to 67.89% biobased content by ASTM D6866; No added mercury, tin, MOCA, or TDI.
Checkerspot - Model AlgalCast - Sidewall
AlgalCast sidewall has 15% greater tensile strength than traditional petroleum-based ABS sidewalls at room temperature, and 60% greater tensile strength at low temperatures; Manufacturing AlgalCast reduces plastic waste compared to use of extruded plastic sidewalls; Sidewall cast, unlike extruded plastic, forms an intimate bond to wood core eliminating the need for glue/resin; Utilizing the cast urethane can reduce raw material input because AlgalCast can be dispensed to desired thickness and depth depending on end-use application.
Checkerspot - Biomanufactured Algal Oil
Unique; Oxidatively stable oil; Highly enriched for triolene: designed to be homogenous and pure.
