MCMC, a distributor based in Bristol, UK, is offering two new 'green' products.

• The CoreCork range of core materials from Amorim Cork Composites is based on cork – a sustainable and recyclable product. The products are modified for use with all the major resin systems available, including prepregs up to 150°C. A range of thicknesses and densities is available.
• Sicomin Epoxy Systems’ GREENPOXY 55 is an epoxy system formulated with a high percentage of biomass carbon content. It is an epoxy system with a single hardener, where 55% of the molecular structure is of plant (biomass) origin. It thus contains 55% of 'green' carbon. Modification of the reaction, ie. speed of hardeners, will be possible but might reduce the percentage of ‘green’ components within the product.
