FIGURES OF MERIT

Value Proposition: - Environmentally friendly formulation - Formulation involves no Hazardous Air Pollutants
- Safer than the effective hazardous solvents and works similar to these same solvents
- Doesn’t stain wood or raise the wood grain
- Comprised of chemicals that have small molecular volumes - Solvent blend can penetrate the various polymer coatings and attack the adhesive bond to the substrate
- Cost-comparative
- No compromise with the performance
