Georgia Gulf and InPro partner for Biopreferred vinyl products

September 11, 2012 |

In Georgia, Georgia Gulf is partnering with InPro Corporation to support that company’s corporate sustainability goals. InPro is a manufacturer of door and wall protection, washroom systems and commercial surfaces, expansion joint systems, cubicle track and privacy curtains, and signage.  Georgia Gulf has developed rigid and flexible vinyl compound products that are non-phthalate and heavy metal-free, which meet InPro’s environmental requirements. The flexible compounds also meet the standards for the USDA bio-preferred label, meaning that more than 25 percent of the vinyl product is made from renewable resources.  The compounds Georgia will supply are the Javelin technology plasticizers, a bio-based, non-phthalate plasticizer from Segetis.  Georgia is also introducing its newest rigid vinyl compound as part of a broader sustainability initiative, which focuses on the replacement of heavy metal stabilization by using an organic-based stabilizer package.
