AFM Safecoat Gets Certified
American Formulating and Manufacturing (AFM) San Diego, CA, has recieved the Indoor Advantage Gold certification for its Safecoat primers and paints, Safecoat Polyureseal BP, Acrylacq, criglaze, Mexeseal and Durostain.
AFM Safecoat selected Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) to provide detailed analysis rather than a simple pass/fail test. The company says that this level of detail enables AFM Safecoat to identify opportunities to work with its distributors and consumers to improve environmental performance along the entire supply chain.
SCS's highest level of indoor air quality certification - Indoor Advantage Gold - demonstrates conformance with two levels of emissions standars: (1) The program tests and certifies products for compliance with USGBC LEED EQ4.1 paints and coverings), USGBC EQ4.2 (adhesives and sealants), USGBC LEEC EQ4.5 (furniture and seating) and BIFMA x 7.1 low-emitting office furniture and seating; and (2) the State of California 01350 Special Environmental Requirements and the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS). California 01350 / CHPS represent the most stringent standard in North America.

April 2006 - Green Building Movement is Moving Swiftly into Mainstream
According to a survey conducted by the National Association of Home Builders in Washington, DC, the green building movement is moving swiftly into the mainstream. There was a 20% increase in 2005 among American home builders focusing attention on green building and that is expected to increase by another 30% this year. Builders cite the leading reasons they are considering green: “It is the right thing to do” and “staying ahead of the competition.” Key obstacles included start-up costs and the unwillingness of consumers to pay additional costs for a green home.

"After a year of trying numerous over-the-counter cleaning products on my apartment's countertops, I asked my landlord to consider replacing them. Then one day I ran into someone who worked for your company and he offered to send me a sample of ASC. When I received the sample, I was in no hurry to try it, as I thought it would be the same as all the products I had used in the past. However, this was NOT the case - it was marvelous! I began using it on one counter top and could not believe my eyes! Not only did it remove the ring stains, but it returned the countertop to its original colour. All this time I thought the countertops were yellow rather than beige! Needless to day, I spent the next two hours cleaning every surface in my kitchen and finally stopped when I got to the walls. I was so happy with my "new" kitchen that I called my landlord the next day and asked her to cancel my order for new countertops and paint. Thank you so much from both of us."
Sincerely,
Joanne, Vancouver, BC
