SOUTH BEND, IN--(Marketwire - September 28, 2009) - Royal Adhesives and Sealants LLC announced
today that it has launched a new line of Gunther brand mirror mastic,
Premier Plus. Developed specifically for the professional mirror
installation market, this mirror mastic contains less than 10 grams per
liter of VOCs compared to over 500 grams per liter of VOCs in traditional
solvent based mirror mastics. With this ultra LVOC content, Premier Plus
is the first mirror mastic for LEED compliant construction projects. The
new mirror mastic will be on display at Glass Build America, September
30-October 2, 2009, in Atlanta, Georgia, in booth 1712.
Established through the U.S. Green Building Council, the LEED (Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design) program establishes strict guidelines
for energy and environmental design. As part of the environmental focus,
the VOC content for mastics and construction adhesives cannot exceed 70
grams per liter. The new Premier Plus is far under this threshold with a
VOC level of less than 10 grams per liter.
Steve Zens, Vice President Sales & Marketing, commented: "This new line of
Gunther brand mirror mastics represents Royal's commitment to the growing
demand for 'green adhesives and sealants' in the architectural market.
LVOC technologies will be key in meeting future building requirements."
Royal's experienced research and development department works closely with
the professional glass and mirror industry to develop new products that
meet their needs for green strength, application times and physical
properties. In addition, these formulations must be compatible with the
manufacturer's various mirror backings commonly used in this process.
Jim Gagen, National Sales Manager, also commented: "With this new LVOC
technology we have been able to address the strict guidelines of LEED
Certified projects. This new product remains easy to apply yet maintains
the same product performance that the market expects from a Gunther brand
mirror mastic."
