Hi,

I have had a query regarding the feasibility of making large areas of structural foam on board a ship, and disposing of it again (or at least significantly reducing the bulk of it). I've had a look at the possibility of PU foam as it lends itself to the manufacturing side at least - has anyone got any other suggestions, or information on the best way to de-bulk or dispose of PU?

Cheers
