(plastemart) -- A proprietary,
multi-matrix, thermoplastic material when combined with a variety of core
materials produces a fiber-reinforced, thermoplastic structural panel that can
be formed, when required, into a wide variety of products has been developed by
AeroQuest Technologies. The environmental benefits of this material are that it
produces no volatile organic compounds (VOC's) such as are given off in the
production of fiberglass products and that it is recyclable, which fiberglass is
not.
Its market benefits are that products made of the material are
lightweight (40-60% lighter) than products made of competing materials; it is
highly impact resistant and durable; it is impervious to water and most
chemicals; it has excellent stiffness and tensile strength; it has high
vibration and sound dampening properties and it is cost competitive to products
made with typical "sheet & post" construction, or in the case of housing,
"stud & joist" construction.
