GREEN FACTS
When Edge says GREEN, What do we mean?
- No Toxic or Carcinogenic Materials used in Production.
- No Toxic or Carcinogenic Materials Required for Installation
- No Rainwater or Soil Contamination (safe for run off)
- No Off-Gassing in either production or Application
- Zero Chemical Migration
- Safe for potable water (drinking water)
- No Specialty Disposal Requirements
- No Specialty Freight Regulations or Restrictions either Domestic or International
- Zero VOC’s
Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors - Biodegradable
Capable of breaking down by natural processes after its useful life - Non-Allergenic
Having no tendency to provoke an allergic reaction in people. Additionally our products inherently resist the buildup of mold and fungus - No HCFC’s or CFC’s
HCFCs & CFCs are chemicals that deplete the ozone layer and are most commonly used as refrigerants, solvents, and foam blowing agents. Ozone depletion increases skin cancer, cataracts, and potential damage to some marine organisms, plants, and plastics. - No Toxicity
Substances that emit few or no carcinogens, reproductive toxicants, or irritants during the manufacturing process or from the product itself - Moisture Resistant
System that resists moisture or inhibits the growth of biological contaminants in buildings. - Sustainability
Unlike traditional adhesives, Edge materials never dry and harden giving you a longer lasting, energy efficient and more resilient seal. This saves material normally needed for field replacement on a cured and cracked seal. Less material, less labor and less material consumed = GREEN. - Recyclable
Edge’s thermally applied adhesives have the ability to be delaminated cleanly off substrate in the manufacturing plant and reprocessed through the hot-melt dispensing unit. Making the manufacturing process waste and scrap free.
