(A few words with Louis Robert @ Addiction Surfboards in Sooke, B.C.) CoastalBC.com: Right to business Louis. Tell us about this new surfboard resin. Louis: Called AST [alive surf technology]. The resin is called DHF durable hyper formance. The resin is urethane based. So it’s not made like polyester resin, polyester is based with styrene and when you actually apply the polyester resin, the styrene evaporates and that’s the stuff, that’s what makes the fumes. It doesn’t stay in the resin. When it cures the styrene is gone and all this styrene’s in the air its super bad. Styrene is a solvent. So this new resin is supposed to produce 3000 times less fall out in the air, so it’s almost none. When you work with it, you want to wear a respirator but you don’t really have to. You can touch the resin, you don’t need gloves. You can wash with isopropyl alcohol, you know, like you don’t need acetone to wash your tools, so it’s way better to work with for health… http://www.surfingvancouverisland.com/surf/st309.htm
