PET foam core material for composites
G-PET
Gurit
Gurit G-PET has been developed as part of Gurit's commitment to reduce the cost of energy through composite product innovation for the Wind Energy market.
G-PET offers a highly effective balance of properties offering compelling advantages to engineers and purchasers alike:
> Consistent and repeatable manufacturing process giving predictable properties and performance in line with "Six Sigma" thinking.
> A product that is not subject to the same fluctuations of supply and demand as Balsa
> Recyclable, reducing the cost of waste
>Low resin uptake relative to Balsa
> Available in China in sheet and kit form
> Mechanical properties meeting most customer specifications
G-PET improves the economics of wind turbine manufacture by offering reduced cost throughout the blade lifecycle.
> A highly efficient manufacturing process using cost-effective raw materials more typically used in the production of textile fibres or transparent drinks bottles, combined with an automatic, high yield extrusion process gives an improved cost base over traditional materials.
> High temperature resistance allows the reduction of cure cycle times improving productivity.
> Recyclability and an established stream for recycling, eliminates landfill cost of waste during the manufacturing process, kitting process and concerns over end-of-life disposal
