Gurit Kerdyn - Recycled Thermoplastic Core
Gurit Kerdyn is a recyclable thermoplastic core material known for its adaptability and a well-balanced set of mechanical properties, temperature resistance, density, and cost-effectiveness across diverse applications. The material demonstrates compatibility with various resin systems, such as epoxy, vinyl ester, unsaturated polyester, and phenolic resins, making it extremely versatile. Capable of high-temperature processing and high exotherm endurance, it exhibits strong chemical resistance and adhesive properties. As an extruded foam, Kerdyn is particularly suited for applications in wind energy, marine, industrial, and transportation sectors. Its availability in various densities and thicknesses provides further customization potential. Notably, Kerdyn is produced from up to 100% recycled PET, integrating post-consumer PET bottle waste into the production cycle, thereby contributing to a sustainable value chain from waste materials to a finished core material.
Gurit® Kerdyn™ was developed in response to the growing need for a structural core material with excellent properties, lower resin uptake and a good price point. Additionally Gurit® Kerdyn™ aligns with the aim of reducing a product’s carbon footprint and reducing waste.
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.
