Gurit is proud to announce that their Corecell S structural foam core is the first non-syntactic foam to obtain DNV Certification for Underwater Technology


The certification covers the following standards:

DNV Class Programme DNV-CP-0084 – Type Approval – Sandwich Core Materials

DNV Rules for Classification – Underwater Technology, Pt. 2, Sec. 5: Materials and Welding for UWT Systems


Achieving DNV certification highlights the material’s exceptional performance, reliability and suitability for demanding subsea and offshore environments.


#CorecellS is a high-performance foam, delivering exceptional hydrostatic crush strength, minimal buoyancy loss and long-term reliability at depth. With an ultra-fine cell structure, high water resistance, and outstanding chemical and thermal stability, it can withstand the harshest marine environments making it the ideal choice for components such as subsea buoyancy or storage units, diving bells, ROVs and impact protection structures.

Corecell S is compatible with epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester resin systems, offering flexibility across a wide range of manufacturing processes. It supports infusion, hand lamination, and thermoforming, enabling efficient integration into existing production workflows.


Corecell S has a range of standard finishing options including plain, pinhole and vacuum-infusion cut, is available in sheet form or as pre-cut kits, and can be ordered in a variety of different densities to meet specific performance and design requirements.


Corecell S complements Corecell M and Corecell I, collectively covering applications from marine structures to industrial and subsea systems. This comprehensive range ensures that customers can select the optimal core material for their specific performance, processing and environmental demands.


Achieving DNV certification for Corecell S reinforces Gurit commitment to innovation and quality in the subsea market and provides customers with increased confidence in its material properties. It also further strengthens Gurit established position in the market after securing a multi-year contract supplying Corecell #structuralfoam core to the subsea industry.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling?

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : A BUG IN INJECTION MOLDING

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share A bug in injection molding – an injection-molded part in a bug? Neither! Nature and injection molding have reached similar results. Nature created the first micro-gear long before any human engineering existed. One such example is the Issus coleoptratus (shown in the picture). Furthermore, only now are we reaching the point where injection-molded polymer microgears can approach this level of performance. Looking at the images, which one do you think is the natural gear, and which one is the molded version? It is not that easy to tell, right? Their appearance and operating principles are surprisingly similar. Chitin, a natural linear polymer, forms what nature essentially "molds” into shape. In engineering, we rely on advanced technical polymers to produce similar geometry through actual injection molding. They are not the same material, yet they solve the same issue: Stiffness, dimensional stability, and reliable function at a scale where tolerances...
