Green Chemistry Standards

Our full range of environmentally friendly products meets specific aviation performance criteria as well as environmental criteria. We use green chemicals whenever possible and ultimately strive to use the most environmentally friendly components when formulating our products.  The focus of our product development is developing environmentally safe and sustainable products to meet the needs of the aviation market.

To help guide our formulations, we developed our own “Green Chemistry Standards” to further enhance our products’ eco-friendliness. All of our products that meet our standards are marked with our “Green Chemistry Symbol”.
