COBRA International (Chonburi, Thailand) is exhibiting its latest foiling board technology and is presenting its process for recycling and reusing epoxy resin windsurf parts using Recyclamine resins. 

The group says its latest work with recyclable resins takes another step forwards into the future of watersports composites. COBRA has worked alongside customer Starboard and Recyclamine resin supplier Aditya Birla (Bangkok, Thailand) to set up a low-temperature recycling process that breaks down epoxy composite windsurf fins, production waste, unused parts and production tooling, recovering valuable reinforcement fabrics for reuse and a thermoplastic resin compound that can be used for COBRA’s plastic accessory components.
