Development of Recycled Core Material for Use in Metal Skinned Laminates
FY 2017-18 · 2017-08-01
Summary
This project deals with the design and lightweight metal-skinned composites for use in transportation and construction applications. The lightweight composites are manufactured in Canada, by our company Westhill Innovation Inc. Our product utilizes novel materials in the mix that would otherwise be deemed for landfill. The materials of use would be those that are currently not recycled for other purposes. The economics of processing of the sheeted materials is estimated to be much less cost than purchasing other pre-made sheeted materials which use virgin compounds. The technology developed to process these materials would be considered disruptive and in addition create technological barriers for competitors.

Description (French)
Ce projet porte sur la conception et la légèreté des composites à revêtement métallique utilisés dans les applications de transport et de construction. Les composites légers sont fabriqués au Canada, par notre entreprise, Westhill Innovation Inc. Notre produit utilise des matériaux nouveaux dans le mélange, qui seraient autrement considérés comme étant destinés à l'enfouissement. Les matériaux utilisés seraient ceux qui ne sont actuellement pas recyclés à d'autres fins. On estime que les coûts de traitement des matériaux en feuilles sont beaucoup moins élevés que ceux de l'achat d'autres matériaux en feuilles préfabriqués, qui utilisent des composés vierges. La technologie développée pour traiter ces matériaux serait considérée comme perturbatrice et créerait en outre des obstacles technologiques pour les concurrents.
