Key Resin Company Offers Environmental
 “Green Building Product” With Key Epoxy Terrazzo

 Decorative Flooring System Meets Material Standards for Green Movement  

CINCINNATI, OH—In recent years, the building industry has seen a rise in demand for materials that meet specific standards based on environmental impact.  This trend, known as the “green movement”, evaluates a variety of production factors based on environmental characteristics such as composition, sourcing and quality, among others.  Cincinnati-based Key Resin Company offers a flooring system product for designers and architects seeking Green Building Products with its Key Epoxy Terrazzo.

Key Epoxy Terrazzo is a resinous flooring system that combines the highly decorative appearance of marble with durability, chemical resistance and ease of maintenance.  With the lowest life-cycle cost in the flooring market combined with beauty and durability, Key Epoxy Terrazzo is the material of choice for areas such as schools, retail environments, convention centers, airports, hotels and lobbies.

Considering the specific standards for the Green Movement, Key Epoxy Terrazzo is petroleum by-product, making up approximately 25 percent of the total flooring system.  The remaining 75 percent consists of marble chips, glass, pigments and fillers.  Epoxy is a by-product, the glass chips are recycled and the marble chips are a by-product of marble slab production.

The epoxy resin in the product is 100% sold material containing no VOC emissions.  Head Space Analysis showed no epoxy constituents given off after eight days in closed containers.  The material does not support microbial growth, helping to maintain a mold-free environment with improved air quality.

A final consideration for the Green Movement is the domestic sourcing.  Key Epoxy Terrazzo is a domestic product manufactured on-site, which minimizes the post-commercial waste and transportation costs.  The vendors, suppliers and distributors are located in the United States.
