The collaboration between Sicomin and Melker has resulted in a next-generation composite laminate, combining renewable materials with industry-leading mechanical performance and aesthetics. Central to this innovation is Sicomin\u2019s GreenPoxy InfuGreen 810 infusion resin and Green Coat transparent gelcoat, both incorporating significant bio-carbon content. <\/p>\n

Sustainable Innovation with Advanced Materials<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Melker V\u00e4rmd\u00f6 kayak is manufactured using a closed-mould vacuum infusion process, optimized to deliver lightweight strength, superior durability, and an impeccable surface finish directly from the mould\u2014eliminating the need for secondary painting or clear coating.<\/p>\n

Key materials featured in the kayak include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Sicomin InfuGreen 810 Resin: DNV GL-certified with 38% bio-carbon content, offering ultra-low viscosity for efficient room-temperature infusion.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Gelcoat transparent Sicomin Green Coat : un rev\u00eatement r\u00e9sistant aux UV, contenant 50 % de mati\u00e8res v\u00e9g\u00e9tales, qui prot\u00e8ge et met en valeur l\u2019esth\u00e9tique naturelle des lamin\u00e9s en lin et li\u00e8ge.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    High Performance Meets Low Environmental Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The V\u00e4rmd\u00f6\u2019s bio-based construction significantly reduces reliance on petroleum-based materials, minimizing the kayak\u2019s carbon footprint without compromising performance. Flax fibers and cork cores enhance mechanical strength, flexibility, and impact resistance, extending the product\u2019s lifetime while offering an ultra-lightweight structure for exceptional maneuverability and easy transportation. <\/p>\n

    The transparent Green Coat gelcoat further enhances the natural aesthetic of the flax and cork laminates, creating a premium, eco-friendly finish that requires no secondary coatings.<\/p>\n

    Industry Recognition and Commercial Success<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Following more than three years of material development and prototype testing, supported by recyclable 3D-printed test models, Melker finalized design and R&D of the V\u00e4rmd\u00f6 series in Sweden with serial production now secured in Sri Lanka. The project has been widely recognized, securing prestigious awards including Best Sea Kayak at both the North American and European paddlesports industry awards. <\/p>\n

    A Proven Model for Sustainable Sporting Goods<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u201cThis collaboration with Melker perfectly demonstrates how our GreenPoxy\u00ae systems can deliver both technical excellence and meaningful sustainability in series production,\u201d said Philippe Marcovich, President of Sicomin.
    \u201cThe V\u00e4rmd\u00f6 kayak is proof that high-performance composite products can be developed with a significantly reduced environmental impact\u2014without compromising on strength, durability, or aesthetics.\u201d<\/p>\n
