Recreation & Leisure

The RV, Marine, and Pool & Spa markets are embracing new technologies and processes for many applications to replace traditionally accepted gel coated fiberglass. Because of the VOC's emitted during the fiberglass production process, there is a great amount of effort being made to find more environmentally friendly alternatives.

Spartech's Alloy Plastics are proving to be up to the task for impact, modulus, and tensile strength requirements while outperforming gel coat fiberglass for weathering and color retention.

Some of Spartech's successful transformations from fiberglass to a more environmentally friendly alternative are listed below.
