however significantly reducing heat transfer through the profile
◼ Cost saving: during use (insulation); in production
◼ PCF: Ultradur has lower PCF than the steel it replaces (compared to classical steel solution)
◼ Recycling: Can be recycled on sorting-machines typically used in this ◼ Provides more design-freedom
industry: Windows are cut into small pieces. Ultradur can be easily sorted
◼ Can be recycled/ reused
for reuse by colour - without spoiling the other sorting-fractions

→ Ultradur® B 4040 G11 HMG HP GN 75074 provides a more ecologic and economic solution than
