Until now, thermosetting plastics have been classified as non<br />RecyclamineTM epoxy hardener technology allows manufacturers, for the first time, to design and produce<br />fully recyclable epoxy-based composite products. Connora founder and CTO, Dr. Stefan Pastine, invented the<br />Recyclamine technology.<br />Connora Technologies, a cleantech<br />developing an entire line of Recyclamine hardeners that will serve to replace conventional hardeners for<br />standard composite manufacturing processes. Recyclamine hardeners are specially engin<br />enabling a mechanism that converts thermosetting epoxies into thermoplastics through a low energy and<br />environmentally friendly recycling process.<br />Key Benefits<br />Recyclamine is a complete sustainable solution for the thermosetting composite<br />creates value by reducing costs during production, extra<br />addressing consumer/industry pressure for proactive environmental responsibility and<br />future regulatory requirements.<br />fully recyclable epoxy<br />non-recyclable.
