Entropy Resin's Super Sap 100/1000 and Super Sap CLR. Super Sap® formulations contain bio-renewable materials sourced as co-products or from waste streams of other industrial processes, such as wood pulp and bio-fuels production. The Super Sap 100/1000 system with 37% bio-content is the first USDA BioPreferred Certified epoxy resin. Greenhouse gas emissions from the production of Entropy Resin is at least 50% lower than conventional petroleum based epoxies.
All reinforcements used in DS Surfboards are made from natural fibers which come from renewable resources and sustainable primary industry bi-products. Currently offering boards with Flax Fiber and our other secret reinforcement!
-Cores/Sandwich Material-
Marko EPS Green Foam made from recycled EPS Styrofoam. Marko has initiated a number of foam recycling programs and uses innovative technology to create EPS foam blanks with post consumer content. EPS foam is 100% recyclable and does not use any CFC's or HCFC's in the manufacturing process. You can get more information about Marko Foam blanks here: http://markofoamblanks.net/?page_id=97
And soon…. BIOM Blanks! Created from 99% Sugar Cane biomass, Biom Blanks are 100% biodegradable and certified GMO Free. http://www.biomblanks.com
-Experimental Materials-
Thermoplastic composites: remoldable/reformable and thus recyclable when compared to thermosets such as polyester and epoxy resins. Inherently higher toughness of thermoplastics make these composites extremely impact resistant. Thermoplastics also exhibit very good performance characteristics in a marine environment.
