OREANDA-NEWS. The company Pfluger TOB GmbH, which is based in Obersteinach, Germany, offers a new generation of windowsill connection profiles, substructure insulation profiles and frame extensions, made with BASF's structural foam Kerdyn(r) Green FST. The company currently presents their innovations at the trade fair "Fensterbau Frontale", which runs from March 16-19, 2016 in Nuremberg, Germany.

Kerdyn(r) Green FST conforms to construction material class B2 and is noted for its high compressive strength, good screw extraction values, as well as high temperature and chemical resistance. Kerdyn(r) Green FST is therefore also compatible with a large number of adhesive and sealing systems.

Thanks to its very low thermal conductivity, Kerdyn(r) Green FST is suitable for the use in a window or door profile in passive houses. Moreover, the water absorption of the material of less than 2% is extremely low.

Next to the material's outstanding mechanical properties, Kerdyn(r) Green FST also makes a contribution to sustainability. At the end of its life cycle, the high-performance material on the basis of PET can be easily recycled.

The structural foam can be processed in two different densities (115 kg/m3 and 180 kg/m3) and can be supplied in thicknesses of 5-120 mm. The maximum panel size is 1005x2440 mm.
