Introducing the World's First Zero Isocyanate Industrial and Commercial Coating
EUGENE, OR – February 1, 2015 – Industrial Finishes & Systems 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.
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 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.
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.”
