duranity Demonstration Day in the UK
March 12 saw the first duranity demonstration day in the UK. duranity is the eco-friendly polyurethane casting compound from ebalta that was specially developed for climbing holds. The in-house exhibition was organised by Roger Freeman, Regional Sales Manager of ebalta Distribution Limited, the UK distribution partner of ebalta Kunststoff GmbH. The event took place at the headquarters of moulding machine manufacturer 2KM UK Limited in Bromsgrove, south of Birmingham, and showcased ebalta duranity materials for both hand and machine moulding.
It was a unique opportunity for potential new customers to get hands on with both the material and the processing equipment and see how easy it is to produce high quality, eco-friendly climbing holds from duranity in ebalta silicone moulds.
One such potential customer was Tom Booth from Renegade Climbing, who said: ‘It’s a great opportunity to see how easily the duranity materials can be processed through a dispensing machine. The results were first class.’ Tom had originally met the duranity team at the Vertical Pro show in Friedrichshafen in November. During the demonstration day at 2KM, he was able to deepen his knowledge and experience the moulding of climbing holds live.
The innovative duranity and duranity flex moulding compounds were developed by ebalta together with allHOLDS, a network of independent climbing hold manufacturers. They are made from eco-friendly polyurethane, consist of over 40 per cent renewable raw materials and are certified as a climate-neutral product.
