Glassex premiere for PremiLine
Kommerling, manufacturer of PVC-u extruded profile, is launching the new patio door product, PremiLine, at this year's Glassex exhibition.
"We are working on issues that meet the environmental standards of the future, today." Kommerling was way ahead of its time in being the first extruder to develop a lead-free stabiliser, the greenline formula, to use throughout the manufacturing process.
Stabilisers are required in the manufacture of PVC-u, however the traditional lead stabilisers raise concerns for the environment.
By developing a calcium-zinc chemical stabiliser, Kommerling has avoided the use of lead entirely at its highly advanced manufacturing plant in Pirmasens, Germany.
Similarly, the recycline initiative, launched earlier this year, displays Kommerling's underlying commitment to a sustainable industry.
In conjunction with Penfold Plastics Limited, all Kommerling fabricators are now offered a recycling service for off-cuts and waste PVC-u profile, keeping it out of landfill sites.
"Both schemes are in keeping with the industry initiative Vinyl 2010 in which we have been actively involved".
"We are proud to say that those who choose to use Kommerling's advanced generation of PVC-u windows and doors will also be supporting a more sustainable building product and the future of the planet".
