August 22, 2005—The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute has awarded its Indoor Air Quality Certification to W.F. Taylor’s Meta-Tec Adhesive Solutions and Envirotec Healthguard Adhesives. Taylor is the first flooring adhesive manufacturer to subject their products to the scientifically rigorous testing of the GREENGUARD Certification Program, according to GREENGUARD.
Both product lines met the GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Standards and continue to be monitored to ensure their low emitting status.
Specifiers and contractors can use the Meta-Tec and Envirotec Healthguard adhesives in conjunction with GREENGUARD Certified Floorings to created spaces with ideal indoor air conditions. Until recently, the only choice a contractor or specifier had for flooring adhesives were products touting low-VOC content but could not be guaranteed to have minimal emissions. Many of these products release extremely high levels of chemical pollutants that can endanger the health and well-being of building occupants, says GREENGUARD.
