Text version of the page

Introduction SP-High Modulus, the marine business of Gurit, is a technical leader in the development and manufacture of structural core materials. Cores in sandwich construction are specified by designers and architects to increase stiffness and reduce the weight of a composite structure. Corecell™ is the leading structural foam core material, which has become widely accepted for the construction of large, high performance structures. It is the latest in foam core technology and although originally developed for the marine industry, it is now used in other applications such as wind turbines and sub sea vessels. Several grades of Corecell™ exist to give specifiers the choice of foam that is optimised to their needs. SP-High Modulus also offers G-PET, a recyclable structural core. Made with a high efficient “extrusion” process and low cost raw materials it offers a cost effective product for replacement of Balsa in composite structures. Structural core materials are offered in sheet form and with a variety of cut patterns or finishes, tailored to customer needs or processing choice. Core is also available in kits offering efficient and speedy layup without unnecessary waste. Full details of the Structural Foam product range can be downloaded at www.gurit.com/marine
