LIMBURGERHOF, GERMANY: Pfluger TOB GmbH, which is based in Obersteinach, Germany, offers a new generation of windowsill connection profiles, substructure insulation profiles and frame extensions, made with BASF’s structural foam KerdynGreen FST.
KerdynGreen FST conforms to construction material class B2 and is noted for its high compressive strength, good screw extraction values, as well as high temperature and chemical resistance. KerdynGreen FST is therefore also compatible with a large number of adhesive and sealing systems.
Kerdyn Green FST is suitable for the use in a window or door profile in passive houses, because of its very low thermal conductivity. Moreover, the water absorption of the material of less than 2 percent is extremely low. Next to the material’s outstanding mechanical properties, it also makes a contribution to sustainability. At the end of its life cycle, the high-performance material on the basis of PET can be easily recycled.
Kerdyn
High-quality structural foams on the basis of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) offer extraordinarily good mechanical properties and are suitable for many different processing operations. PET foams have a high-temperature resistance and very good chemical resistance. They are therefore extremely suitable for use as a composite material.
