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

INFORMATION
Corecell™ M-Foam
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
