GREEN Products Biodegradable and Compostable Declare Independence from Petroleum

Biodegradable Products from GreenPaperProducts.com

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 29, 2010

GreenPaperProducts.com, an Eco-friendly company is working diligently in their category of disposable tableware to create a better environment for generations to come by limiting the amount of waste entering America’s landfills. By offering a GREEN products line of biodegradable and compostable tableware, Green Paper Products customers can be one step closer to an earth friendly way of life.

These disposable and compostable choices are a great alternative to the typical petroleum based products, reducing and hopefully eliminating much of our future dependence on petroleum. The potential environmental disasters coming to our landfills might be avoided by everyone taking a more proactive stance. Just one small step towards becoming more Eco-friendly can help and one of those first steps can be composting.

Composting is a process that can be done by anyone more easily than imagined, done nearly anywhere, and on a small or large scale. If a material is compostable, it breaks down into carbon dioxide, water and biomass at the same rate as paper. Compost is a combination of decomposed plants and animal materials and other organic materials that decompose into humus — a rich nutrient-filled material — which increases the nutrient content in soils. This creates rich, moist, productive soils that can help reduce or even eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers, and promote higher yields of agricultural crops.

More and more gardeners in the know are coming to love composting and taking advantage of it by producing more colorful yards and more productive gardens. Composting holds benefits that produce results visible today as well as in the future. Along with adding nutrients into the soil, compost has the ability to actually clean the soil it is introduced to. “Within 50-100 days of composting Green Paper Products, you can have clean, nutrient rich soils” said Steve Saks the company’s Co-Founder.

Surmet Strengthens Fabrication Capability for Transparent Ceramic Armor and IR optics Products

Burlington, MA (PRWEB) November 01, 2011

Surmet, the manufacturer of ALON® and magnesia Spinel, announces significant expansion of its optical fabrication capabilities, in each of its manufacturing facilities across three states in the US, (i.e., Murrieta, CA, Burlington, MA, and Buffalo, NY), occupying a total of over 100,000 sq. ft. All facilities are ISO 9001:2008 certified.

Surmet’s precision fabrication capability includes a wide variety of shapes and sizes ranging in complexity from Transparent Ceramic Armor windows, through prisms, lenses, hemispherical and hyper-hemispherical domes and windows for sensors, lasers and reconnaissance. Surmet’s fabrication capability extends beyond optical ceramics to materials such as Sapphire, Silicon, and Germanium, etc.

Surmet is pleased to offer its extensive fabrication capability and expertise to others on a toll basis. In order to provide customers with total flexibility on price and delivery, Surmet is ready to provide blanks of Surmet’s transparent Optical ceramic materials to be finished by others.

In the light weight transparent ceramic armor market segment where highest volume growth is expected, the current capacity is for fabrication of windows as large as ~19×36-in. This is now being expanded to cover windows as large as 36×36-inches. Using innovative technologies, Surmet has engineered, designed and built its own grinding and polishing equipment for this expansion.

Surmet’s manufacturing is vertically integrated that begins with powder, continues through forming of green bodies and the heat treatment into fully dense optical blanks and ends with the fabrication into precision optical components.

Surmet is the only supplier of transparent ALON® and a leading supplier of Magnesia Spinel. These are very attractive because they are made via powder processing and with a cubic crystal structure, are not birefringent like Sapphire.

Surmet’s Magnesia Spinel has high strength and good toughness because unlike many of its competitors, Surmet does not use the Lithium Fluoride fluxed hot pressing, which causes grain boundary embrittlement leading to significantly lower strength.

The bottom line is that Surmet is making real and significant progress on establishing cost effective commercial specialty manufacturing capability, in the US for its transparent optical ceramic products.

Wahoo Decks Offers Fire-Safe Deck Board and Deck Joist Noncombustible Building Products for Outdoor Living Market

Gainesville, GA (PRWEB) June 4, 2009

Wahoo Decks, the leading manufacturer of aluminum decking accessories, has announced that its aluminum deck board, AridDek and its aluminum, structural deck drainage system, DryJoist, are both non-combustible fire-safe alternatives to woods or composites traditionally used in deck construction.

AridDek is an aluminum deck board with a tongue-in-groove design that creates a beautiful, low-maintenance deck surface while providing the added bonus on an integrated gutter system for a dry, usable space below the deck. The safe, non-skid textured surface naturally stays cooler to the touch than traditional decking planks.

“Even though there has been a tremendous focus over recent years to develop fire-resistant deck boards for use in wildfire-prone areas, none of the new composites are truly non-combustible,” said Jon Bailey, Vice President of Wahoo Decks. “Aluminum deck boards give homeowners the truly non-combustible deck board option they’ve been looking for.”

Wahoo’s newest product, DryJoist, is the first and only structural deck drainage system. When assembled, DryJoist creates a finished ceiling, waterproofing and the structure of the deck all in one system. Made of marine-grade, precision-extruded aluminum, the system is strong enough to replace the need for conventional wood joists and is impervious to rot, insects, mildew, and fire. Deck boards can be fastened to the system to the system in any direction without the need for extra blocking making it easier to create the custom deck surfaces and design options that today’s outdoor living enthusiast expect.

“Improving the deck surface seems to have been the focus of the industry in recent years and framing system of a deck has traditionally been overlooked,” said Jon Bailey, Vice President of Wahoo Decks. “What good is a fire-rated deck board when it’s attached to the same old lumber frame?” “Aluminum deck joist give the homeowner the option of building a non-combustible deck.”

About Wahoo Decks

Headquartered in Gainesville, Georgia, Wahoo Decks is the leading manufacturer of aluminum deck drainage systems. Wahoo products have been engineered to be easier to install, have more flexibility in design options, and to resist natural elements better than other traditional deck drainage systems. In addition to deck drainage systems, Wahoo Decks also offers a complete line of aluminum railing. Additional information about Wahoo Decks can be found on http://www.WahooDecks.com.

Household Cleaning Products May Contribute to Breast Cancer, Maid Brigade Offers Five Tips to Create Safe and Healthy Home Environments

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 1, 2010

A recent study by Environmental Health suggests that household cleaning products, air fresheners and disinfectants may contribute to an increased risk of women developing breast cancer. The study also found that regular use of cleaning products in the home may double that risk.

Maid Brigade, a Green Clean Certified® company and the national leader in green household cleaning practices, offers the following five tips to women about healthy cleaning practices to kick-off Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

1.    Reduce exposure to unhealthy and hazardous ingredients by avoiding the use of chemicals at home, on the lawn and at work.

2.    Use non-toxic cleaning agents and wear gloves and other protection when using things like paints or glues.

3.    Use natural cleaning products like vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and borax.

4.    Become more knowledgeable about green cleaning practices so safer and healthier decisions can be made.

5.    Get regular mammograms. Thirty percent of breast cancers can be detected through monthly breast self-exams and 85 percent can be detected with a mammogram. For women over 40, the American Cancer Society recommends screening mammograms every year.

“At Maid Brigade we are dedicated to green cleaning practices and only use environmentally safe products and processes that are healthier for consumers, healthier for our maids and healthier for the environment,” comments Marie Stegner, consumer health advocate for Maid Brigade.

“Through our Green Clean Certified program process that cleans with no chemicals whatsoever, we are able to provide a safe and truly green environment for women and their families,” Stegner said.

Mansfield, MA (PRWEB) February 6, 2006

The E-Z Hatch Attic Access Door System is an easy to install, highly insulated, 1-piece overhead attic access door system that installs into the ceiling in minutes and provides a sealed, energy-efficient access opening into the attic space.

Developed by Contractors to provide a quick and easy solution to a time consuming detail, the E-Z Hatch installs in minutes with only a utility knife and a screwdriver.

Designed for use in new construction or retrofit applications for Contractors and do-it-yourselfers. The one-piece unit consists of a wood frame, a hinged insulated door, and all interior trim.

The E-Z Hatch 1-piece overhead attic access door system is highly insulated and completely weatherstripped to provide the maximum energy conservation possible.

Available in two sizes, 22″ x 30″, and 22″ x 22″ for new construction or retrofit, the E-Z Hatch Attic Access Door exceeds all Building Code requirements, including the new Energy-Star requirements. Introductory pricing begins at $ 149.00.

The door is made of Expanded Polystyrene foam that provides an insulation value of R-48, and hinges out of the way. The door opens with little effort, allowing easy entry into the attic space. The finished face on the door fits tightly into the finished trim when the door closes.

Engineered for use with any type of insulation, including blown-in insulation. The tall wood frame acts as an insulation dam, which holds the insulation back from the opening, and takes the mess out of getting into the attic space.

Available at your local Building Supply Center, or Factory Direct by mail order.

New Range of Bespoke Designer Wallpaper Products are Launched by Concept Coverings

Darwen, Lancashire (PRWEB) August 10, 2007

Following months of hard work, Concept Coverings Ltd is thrilled that finally the new range of wallpapers that have been painful to finalise are ready for release. Wallpaper has been around for hundreds of years, and yet people claim that there has been very little advancement in wallpaper. Group Managing Director Conrad McKee says to these critics, “Wallpaper is fighting back and at Concept Coverings we are seeing a big trend in customers coming back to wallpaper as feature walls and one wall concepts.”

The online designs are a good mix of contemporary and traditional designs with colours that can be changed to match any room scheme.

The company was formed in 2005 seeing a hole in the decorative market for this type of digitally printed product. Since then many successful wallpaper collections have been released. The latest collections are available to view online as well as customers being able to upload their own photos and have them made into a wallpaper.

Today wallpaper is classified based on the commercial application, and is divided into two categories: commercial and home use wallpaper

About our wallpapers

Commercial Wallpaper

Commercial wallpaper is usually printed on thicker, and more resistant paper. Since commercial wallpaper (as the name suggests) is used in retail outlets, hotels, discos, etc. The wallpaper has certain health and safety specifications that it must meet like being fire resistant, etc. Apart from the health and safety requirements, there are additional requirements like being easy to clean, dust and dirt resistant, etc. What has made commercial wallpaper making an entirely different section, is that more often than not commercial wallpaper involves customization like having a company logo printed or having custom designs, this is where having a digitally printed wallpaper comes in handy, as the imagery that is produced using digitally printed wallpaper is far superior when compared to wallpaper printed using traditional methods.

Wallpaper for home use

The earliest and oldest application of wallpaper is for home use, wallpaper for home use is by no way inferior to commercial wallpaper, as it too has to meet strict quality control guidelines, however the added advantage that wallpaper for home use has is that, it is easier to apply when compared to commercial wallpaper, and in addition you can have multiple wallpaper in the same home (compare this to commercial establishments where the wallpaper is uniform throughout). Just like commercial wallpaper, digitally printed wallpaper is available for home users also, the biggest benefactors of digitally printed wall paper have been home owners, who can now either get custom wallpaper with a particular design built, or can choose to adorn their home walls with some of the greatest works of art ever made. The choices that wallpaper today has bought to home owners is just mind boggling, and all it takes to get customized wallpaper made is a photograph or image of your design.
