Industrial Finishes &
Systems, Inc., is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive
exclusive national distribution agreement with Hybrid Coating Technologies
(HCT) for several of HCT’s coating formulations. HCT has developed Green
Polyurethane™, the first-ever modified hybrid polyurethane (currently used in
coatings and paint) manufactured without the use of toxic isocyanates
throughout the entire production process.
Non-Toxic Option
The result is TRUE Green Poly™,
a substitute for conventional polyurethane and epoxies that is hundreds of
times less toxic, has superior properties, and may provide up to 30-60% in
reduced application costs. TRUE Green Poly™ featuring Green Polyurethane™ is
the first and only commercially-available zero isocyanate hybrid polyurethane
coating.
The product emits such low odor
that it can be applied in environments that make conventional toxic,
isocyanate-based polyurethane coatings difficult to use, such as hospitals and
schools. TRUE Green Poly™ is perfect for new construction as well as
recondition projects with “green” considerations or seeking LEED certification. TRUE Green Poly™
provides an appealing choice for a wide range of projects due to its ease of
application, exceptional durability, and competitive costs.
Award Winning Product
Recently, Green Polyurethane™
was the recipient of the prestigious 2015
Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award given by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in cooperation with the
American Chemical Society. The
award program, supported by the White House Office of Science and Technology
Policy, recognizes “landmark green chemistry technologies developed by
industrial pioneers and leading scientists in the field of green chemistry.”
According to Industrial Finishes
& Systems Chairman and CEO, Stuart Barr, “We’re excited to have the
opportunity to bring this much-needed product to market. This is truly a
game-changer. In today’s world, eliminating harmful VOCs and isocyanates is an
increasingly important focus. HCT’s chemistry allows us to bring products to
market that eliminate isocyanates while providing a superior finish and easy
application.”
“Industrial Finishes has a
strong management team with a vision toward the future of coatings. They also
have a highly motivated sales team with a record of success. We believe this
will be an exceptional partnership and are excited about the product launch,”
said Joseph Kristul, President and CEO of HCT.
