Understanding how Nox-Crete products can help achieve green building processes and project certifications can help you make the right product choices for your

When selecting products for use on projects seeking LEED certification, remember: • LEED and the USGBC do not certify, endorse or otherwise approve contractors, products or construction processes. Only a project can earn LEED certification. • Only chemical products which are permanently installed on a project can help achieve points.

For more information on LEED, visit www.usgbc.org/leed Products are not reviewed or certified under the LEED Rating System. LEED credit requirements cover the performance of materials in aggregate, not the performance of individual products or brands.

Managed by the non-profit U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) provides third-party review and certification of a building’s green status using a set of defined criteria established by the USGBC. There are currently multiple LEED systems available, including systems for New Construction, Existing Buildings, Core & Shell, Schools, etc. LEED is used by people who design, own, build, finance, sell, maintain and tax buildings in the United States as a benchmark for the impact that a building has on the environment. Nox-Crete is a member of the USGBC and supports the Council’s efforts in sustainable design.

Safer For People & The Environment

Our Green Engineered™ line of performance-driven products have all been manufactured with the world in mind by using safer raw materials.

Acryl-Binder

Our Green Engineered™ product line is manufactured using safer raw materials and includes products that are:

• Low VOC • Low Odor • Water Based • Biodegradable

Products may offer one or more of these advantages. Read individual Product Data Sheets for specific attributes.

Green Engineered™ Products Nox-Crete has been involved in developing products that are safer for both people and the environment since the early 1980s. From this has come our Green Engineered™ line of products.

health. Water based products also are low odor, creating both a more pleasant environment for workers during the construction process and for afteroccupancy tenants.

The cornerstone of our Green Engineered™ concept is our research and development of water based products. By using water based products, the impact on non-renewable resources such as petroleum and its distillates is reduced.

Green Engineered™ products from Nox-Crete are performance-driven and designed to the highest quality standards using safer raw materials.

Workers who apply water based products are exposed to fewer harmful substances. The low VOC nature of water based products lessens both the impact on air quality and on workers’

With Green Engineered™ products, design and construction professionals can meet the expectations for project design and construction without compromise to product performance or the world we share.
