SUPER SAP CERTIFIED AS BIO_BASED!

Entropy Resins is pleased to announce that its Super Sap® 100/1000 System has been certified as a USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) certified bio-based product.

The USDA Bio-PreferredSM Program is a voluntary labeling program used to certify consumer bio-based products in the U.S. The certification uses the ASTM D6866 standard to measure the biobased carbon atoms in a product. "With so many products in the market place being sold as 'bio-based', it's difficult today for customers to distinguish between what is real and what is green-washing", states Entropy CEO, Desi Banatao. "With the ASTM certified 37% biobased carbon measurement for our Super Sap 100/1000 system, and our calculated total bio-mass of 50% which includes the bio-based oxygen and nitrogen atoms, we are walking the walk and setting the bar for our industry", states Banatao.
From their start in 2009, Entropy Resins has pushed the boundaries of what can be done with bio-based materials to create strong, durable, and lightweight performance composites. Today, their customers range from artists and hobbyists, to sporting goods manufacturers and wind energy. Entropy Resins and the USDA BioPreferred Certification Program sets the next standard in verifying biobased content for sustainable performance composite resins.

The Entropy Bio-Epoxy has similar working times to the Resin Research Epoxy and the clear resin is very clear. If you want to reduce your board building carbon footprint this along with Marko Foam's EnviroFoam is a great place to start! Come on by or give us a call for more info.

Doc Shapes up a Marko Foam EnviroFoam Blank

Here's some cool video footage of Doc from Surf Prescriptions Surfboards shaping up the Marko EnviroFoam Blank. This is one of the boards we glassed with Entropy Surf Sap Epoxy at this past Sacred Craft in Ventura, Ca. After glassing the bottom of this board we raffled it off to one of the many spectators. The lucky winner was Mary Barbour of Santa Monica!

As you probably know, we recently made the pilgrimage to Ventura, CA where surfboard builders big and small congregated for the annual Sacred Craft Surfboard Expo. Along with Entropy Resins and Marko Foam we presented a vision of the future in sustainable & recycled surfboard design; Surf Sap bio-epoxy, Marko's Recycled Envirofoam, and Future's Recycled Fins. Expect to see more of these eco-shredders coming from a shaper near you!

Here's what Rey Banatao of Entropy Resins had to say:
"The show was a huge success, as evidenced by the heavy foot traffic our booths received throughout the weekend and the standing room only during Stretch Riedel's live glassing demo with our resin! We want to thank FOAM E-Z for putting this successful collaboration together. And a BIG MAHALO goes to Stretch and Dave, from Stretch Surfboards, for doing live Surf Sap glassing demos throughout the weekend and causing a major raucous in the showroom aisles. Finally, thank you to everyone that stopped by the booths."

Stay tuned for more cool, sustainable products in the near future.

Happy Earth Day 2010!
