• Solid surface kitchen and bathroom countertops made from a mixture of minerals and polymer-based binding resins form a durable, non-porous surface that doesn’t need sealing, resists bacteria, and is non-allergenic.
• Polycarbonate plastic is used to make windows and frames that are both shatter-resistant and lightweight. Additionally, polycarbonate plastic has low thermal conductivity and can reduce heating and cooling costs while providing protection against inclement weather conditions.

The chemical manufacturing community seeks to collaborate with interior designers and architects to provide advanced products and materials that can help them reach their green goals.
