Visit to the Faculty of Polymer Technology in Slovenj Gradec
WORKSHOP
From the very beginning of the project, we've been wondering about the toxic gases produced during the production of our boards. In March 2023, we went on a trip to Slovenj Gradec, where we were warmly welcomed at the Faculty of Polymer Technology.
After a thorough presentation of their work and a laboratory tour, we decided to conduct additional tests, including the analysis of gases. They also evaluated the thermal properties of the material, what happens to it during heating, and at which temperatures material degradation occurs. Based on the research, we learned the optimal temperature for making plastic boards, thus increasing the quality of our products and prolonging their lifespan. We finally got an answer to the long-standing question: Are we poisoning ourselves and the environment during board production? The answer is a resounding NO.
