Bridgewater, NJ - In a move to further support its customers in the construction and woodworking markets, Henkel Corporation has obtained GreenGuard® certifications for selected products within each of its woodworking product brands.

The certified products include a selection of wood glues and contact cements, as well as low VOC and green diamond canister products. "Air Quality Sciences, the leading third-party testing agency, has qualified these products as GreenGuard Indoor Air Quality Certified and GreenGuard Children and Schools Certified," said Tim Brown, Market Segment Manager - Construction, Henkel Corporation.
