Not just the “in” thing to do
A “GREEN” Building Product
Environmental awareness is affecting the way
everyone does business, including the construc-
tion industry. Homeowners, builders and
architects are always looking for prod-
ucts that are environmentally friendly.
Covalence has been using sound
environmental policy in the manufac-
turing of Thermo-ply sheathing since
the early 60’s. That’s long before it was
considered the “in” thing to do. Our
practices have saved tree after tree,
forest after forest.
Based on standard measurements from
the construction industry, the average
2,500 square foot house, using thermo-ply
sheathing will save 6 trees. In a 50 home
development thats 300 trees!
Since 1976, Covalence estimates we
have saved over 9,400,000 trees through
our use of recycled materials. Unlike other sheathing
materials that use wood in some form or combina-
tion we use no wood chips, no old growth forests or
no fast growing trees.
Thermo-ply is 99% recyclable. Any Thermo-ply job
site waste or scrap can be collected and sent
with other recyclable products, saving
landfill space, which is a big concern for
builders and communities.
Non-toxic bonding agents - Covalence
uses 100% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a
bonding agent, PVA is one of the saf-
est bonding agents available, used
extensively in the food service industry.
It is not a hazardous material (per the
American Standard for Precaution-
ary Labeling of Hazardous Industrial
Chemicals), and has no known dermal
effects. Unlike other sheathing ma-
terials, Thermo-ply does not contain
asphalts, formaldehydes or phenols that
can affect chemically sensitive people.
No CFC’s - CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons)
have been identified as a danger to the ozone
layer surrounding the Earth. Covalence Coated
Products uses no CFC’s in the manufacturing of
Thermo-ply.
