Gurit Launch New G-PET Product Range

Gurit, a supplier of composite materials and technical solutions have launched a new range of G-PET structural foam.

The new G-PET products are targeting mainly the global wind turbine blade manufacturing and marine markets.

The new range offers a combination of properties, including shear elongation, finer cell size, chemical resistance, good adhesion, as well as high process temperature resistance. The new G-PET range is available in four new densities – 80, 90, 110 and 135 kg/m3, with other densities possible upon request.

G-PET recyclable structural foam is a adaptable, thermoplastic foam offering a good balance of mechanical properties, temperature resistance, density and cost. The materials can be used for a wide range of applications and production processes. The new G-PET range comes with varying finishing styles including the following formats and combinations thereof: Plain, Pin Hole, Contour Scrim, Double Cut, Vacuum Infusion Core. Knife cuts are available to minimise resin uptake during infusion. The product is available in standard sheets and tailored kits.
