Glass is also offered with transparent metallic Low-E...

Finishing System brings metal surfaces from rough to mirror.

QUICK-STEP(TM) transforms any metal from rough surface to mirror finish in 3 steps. It uses hook and loop backing pad to attach 40, 60, 80, or 120 grit segmented flap discs; extra coarse, coarse, medium, fine, or super fine BLENDEX(TM) conditioning discs; and felt polishing discs used with polishing compound to achieve any desired mirrored finish. DECO(TM) or POLI-QUICK(TM) dry polishing and...

Dust Arresting Compound helps improve worker safety.

TerraLOC(TM) dust palliative and abatement products, used on unpaved locations in military and civilian applications, reduce airborne dust and promote worker safety. Biodegradable and environmentally friendly, PVOH-based products, once cured, stabilize soil and abate dust by impregnating unbound or un-compacted material that overlays sub-grade. Water-soluble compound may be applied via variety of...

Basalt America Announces Stronger, Lighter, and Corrosion-Free FRP's (Fiber Reinforced Polymers)

Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP), represents a truly groundbreaking advancement in structural reinforcement. Lightweight, strong, and green, they are changing the way the construction industry thinks about rebar. Unlike steel, FRPs don't rust and are far stronger than standard rebar. To learn why Fiber Reinforced Polymers are poised to change the way the world builds, see our video.
