TECHNOLOGY

The challenge of your designs calls for us to raise the bar in materials selection and processing, ease of installation, service life, maintenance and regulatory compliance. The solution often requires developing innovative new products.

Going Beyond. With robust R&D capabilities, we quickly respond to customer demands for new or enhanced products. Working with leading polymer science facilities at major universities, our chemical engineers and polymer scientists are continuously expanding our knowledge and materials palette … to set new standards in decoration and functionality.

Mission critical to the success of new products is our developmental and performance testing including flammability, toxicity and smoke density.
