PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project aims to assess the feasibility of a new formulation of a sustainable, natural, renewable and proximity-based material for surfboard manufacture, in line with the Ekoblanks Groups’ initiative.
Currently, the core of surfboards is predominantly made from polyurethane (PU) material in countries such as Australia and the United States. However, this project seeks to develop a more environmentally friendly and local alternative. To this end, CIFP Don Bosco LHII will carry out a comprehensive analysis through validation tests, creating samples under various conditions, measuring key properties and assessing their suitability in scenarios similar to their actual use.
The study will include the evaluation of water resistance, impact resistance and machinability of the material, establishing a systematic procedure that can be used as a basis for future mass production.
