The resin systems contain at least 95% natural plant oil. The balance is an ultraviolet initiator.

2) What is the current sustainable development program being undertaken by Sustainable Composites Limited?

Work currently underway includes:-

A) Development of resins specifically for industrial applications. This also includes surfboard manufacture - laminating, sanding and gloss resins.

B) Vacuum assisted resin injection - development of lower viscosity resins to allow larger mouldings to be produced using this system and development of other industrial processes

C) Vegetable based polyurethane foams - development of low density rigid foams for uses in home insulation, safety protection and may other industrial and domestic applications.

3) How Sustainable are surfboard EcoBlanks?

They currently contain just under 50% plant based and sustainable materials, with ongoing development to increase this.
