ProFlex Impact-Reducing Glove
Ergodyne's ProFlex 925F(x)OD Thermal Dorsal Impact-Reducing Gloves with OutDry provide a defense against Mother Nature's harshest, while delivering back-of-the-hand protection in the coldest, wettest endeavors. The gloves use a patented, waterproof membrane lamination process that directly bonds the OutDry membrane to the inside of the glove's outer shell to create one seamless waterproof entity with no gap in between. The 925F(x)OD has a unique combination of impact protection, durability, abrasion resistance and grip that make it unlike any dorsal impact-reducing glove alternative on the market today.

AquaSol Acrylic Finish

Parax
Anaheim, Calif.

/Public/News/20120331070000-4.jpg" width="600" height="338" border="0" alt="AquaSol Acrylic Finish" />
AquaSol Acrylic Finish
Parex has launched AquaSol, an acrylic finish with enhanced hydrophobic and photocatalytic technology. In addition to the features found in standard acrylic finishes, AquaSol also repels water, reflects UV rays and reduces pollution. AquaSol will optimize both environmental and aesthetic values throughout a building’s life cycle. Environmentally, the photocatalytic technology behind AquaSol helps breakdown atmospheric pollutants in the air and on the surface. AquaSol’s properties also help keep the wall surface temperatures cool as it reflects heat from the sun. Aesthetically, the exterior remains cleaner as dirt merely runs off the AquaSol surface when water hits the facade.
