Yes it is true that GeoDeck had some problems with material manufactured in 2003, However, non of the material produced beofore that time period, or after has had a problem. Also, Kandant Composites (the company that manufactured GeoDeck in 2003) has sold the company to LDI Composites in October of 2005. LDI continues to research and improve both the composition of the product, as well as the production methods involved. The biggest issue with the deteriation problem is that it takes a couple years in the elements for the boards to show any signs of failure. This leads people to believe that the problem is current, when in fact it is limited to material produced in 2003, which was recalled by Kadant. All product produced under LDI Composites has a lazer engraved date code on the edge of each board so that if an issue should arrise, it can be traced back to each individual ingredient in that board the day it was made, as well as what line it was produced on and who was operating the line that day. Needless to say, many improvements have been made in the last 2 years. |
