is to exhibit for the first time at the forthcoming Seatec exhibition from
8th-10th February 2012 in Carrara, Italy. Seatec is an international exhibition
exclusively focused on technology, materials and design for boats, superyachts
and ships.
SP-High Modulus’ stand will be located in Hall E, aisle
34, stand number 1098 and staff will be on hand to showcase a range of composite
materials. Products to be exhibited at Seatec include PVCell™, a closed cell,
cross-linked PVC foam that provides high strength to weight ratio for all
composite applications. PVCell™ G-Foam is available in a wide range of
densities, which include G60, G80, G100, G130 and G200, with all standard cut
patterns, and finishes possible. PVCell™ G-Foam has secured industry
certification from Germanischer Lloyd (GL) (G60-G100), Det Norske Veritas (DNV),
American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), and Registro Italiano Navale
(RINA).
Promoted alongside PVCell™ G-Foam will be SP-High Modulus’
extended core materials range, including G-PET, Balsaflex® and Corecell™ M-Foam.
SP-High Modulus will also be showcasing its range of prepreg materials,
including SPRINT® and the tooling paste T-Paste 70-2.
SP-High Modulus’
Italian distributor Resintex will be exhibiting at the event in Hall E, aisle
34, stand number 1095.
SP-High Modulus Italian Sales Manager, Ferdinando
Ollino, who will be attending the show, commented "This is the first year
SP-High Modulus will have its own stand at Seatec. With our distributors
Resintex near to us, I am looking forward to discussing our extended core range

projects."
PRODUCT
INFORMATION
Corecell™
M-Foam is SP-High Modulus’ premier structural marine foam core that
offers a complete cost-effective package comprising high shear strength, low
weight and high elongation, low resin uptake for infusion processes and high
temperature stability for prepreg processes.
PVCell™ G-Foam
PVCell™ G-Foam is a closed cell, cross linked PVC foam. As a
general purpose core material commonly used in composite sandwich structures, it
provides a superior strength to weight ratio for all composite
applications.
G-PET
G-PET is a recyclable structural
foam is a highly adaptable, recyclable, thermoplastic foam with a good balance
of mechanical properties, temperature resistance, density and cost for a wide
range of applications and production processes.
Balsaflex®
With Gurit’s acquisition of Balseurop, SP-High Modulus is now able
to complement its range of structural foam core materials with a complete Balsa
wood offering.
T-Paste 70-2 has been designed for
Marine customers looking for a fast and reliable way to manufacture patterns and
direct moulds. T-Paste 70-2 is a low density tooling paste designed for the
manufacture of patterns in the boatbuilding market. It has been formulated for
ease of application and to give an excellent surface finish when CNC
machined.
Prepreg Materials and
SPRINT®
SP-High Modulus prepregs utilise the latest
solvent-free, hot-melt technology and include SE 84 Nano which incorporates the
latest nano technology. SPRINT® is a unique patented material and processing
technology that allows high quality composite components, with high mechanical
properties and very low void content, to be produced rapidly and
economically.
