Sustainability
All our products are developed with safety and sustainability in mind. Our award-winning, low toxicity formulated products are constantly under review, to ensure we at the very least meet current chemical safety regulations. And key formulated ranges contain up to 40% bio carbon content since we launched our ‘bio based as standard initiative’. We are committed to considering circularity and decarbonization at all stages of a product’s lifecycle, and Gurit PET core is a good example of this in action. Our FR (flame-retardant) PET version is ASTM E84 Class A compliant in the US and EN13501 Class E compliant in Europe, supporting safe, sustainable building design.

Case Studies
THE WHITE BOW
The Gazechim Composites Ibérica logistics centre in Valencia, Spain, also known as The White Bow due to the image it evokes of a ship sailing on the sea, was constructed using composite materials in different elements of the global project. It features an impressive 340sqm, curved, self-supporting canopy, made possible using Kerdyn™ PET.
PFLÜGER TOB
SUSTAINABLE BASE PROFILES FOR WINDOWS AND DOORS
When considering which material to use for bridging the spaces between the building construction and door and window frames, the list of material properties is considerable: strength, durability, insulating capability and fire retardancy to name just a few. Pflüger TOB, has gone one step further and added sustainability to this list with Gurit Kerdyn™ FR.
FIXOTHERM FIX-PLUS
Building damage caused by water ingress around windowsills is common in both new and renovated buildings alike and is often caused by voids between the windowsills and buildings. The “FIXOTHERM with FIX-PLUS” system, made with Gurit Kerdyn™ FR, was developed to resolve this problem. It offers a watertight solution for bridging gaps between windowsills and the surrounding construction.
DOME OBSERVATORY
A new astronomy centre in Tekapo, New Zealand is set to house one of the world’s most famous Victorian-era telescopes inside a custom observatory dome: the restored Brashear Telescope, named after the American astronomy pioneer John Brashear. The telescope, which dates back to the late 1800s, stands up to 10 metres tall when measured from the base and as a result requires a suitably large dome to house it.
