From a product-type viewpoint, flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and poly(urethane)-foam-based applications have used biocides for decades.[8,9] PVC is especially vulnerable to attack from fungi and bacteria due to extensive plasticizer usage in flexible applications.[ 10] Poly(urethane) foams are another notable consumer of biocides because of their porous nature, which pro- vides an ideal environment for microbes to grow.[11,12] Therefore, it is not surprising that many applications based on these two materials have significant usage of biocides; commonly, oxybisphenoxarsine or lower toxic- ity alternatives such as zinc pyrithione (ZPT) antimicro- bials are employed.[10] Specific example applications include kitchen and bath accessories, swimming pool liners, carpet backing, sleep solutions like mattresses and pillows, roofing membranes, and tiles.

HAMMERHEAD™ MARINE COMPOSITE PANELS APPLICATION & INSTALLATION GUIDE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION FEATURE BENEFIT Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio Lightweight yet strong structural performance and increased payloads Resistance to UV light, chemicals, moisture degradation and rot Resistance to harsh marine conditions Tough and impact resistant Durability and long product life Dimensionally stable Consistent performance in extreme temperature and humidity fluctuations Strong adhesive properties Easy bonding to various materials FEATURE BENEFIT Ready-to-install Fewer parts & reduced scrap Large format Improved aesthetics with seamless designs Made via continuous-fiber manufacturing process Consistent quality in every panel PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES MANUFACTURING ADVANTAGES Hammerhead™ Marine Composite Panels are made from continuous glass- fiber reinforced thermoplastic face sheets and polyester foam cores.

Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming and Nucleating Agents reduce material requirements by up to 20% without compromising stiffness, mechanical properties, or aesthetic appeal. Added during processing, Hydrocerol is heat activated and releases gas to form a cellular foam structure, keeping the outer skin solid without voids.
