Wilsonart® Adhesives is proud to be the first adhesive manufacturer to have their PVA-based laminating and woodworking adhesives awarded the GREENGUARD® Indoor Air Quality Certification. In addition to these products, our Wilsonart H2O Water-Based and 730/731 Contact adhesives area also certified.

What is GREENGUARD®?


The GREENGUARD mark signifies that these products are included in a rigorous, independent, third-party emissions testing program by GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI).

GEI's product certification program uses rigorous test methods and stringent emissions criteria to identify contruction materials, furnishings, and interior products which do not emit dangerous levels of contaminates into the indoor environment.

With this latest certification, designers, builders architects, specifying professionals and contractors can use Wilsonart certified adhesives in conjunction with other GREENGUARD Certified products including Wilsonart high-pressure laminates, to install low-emitting decorative surfacing.

Selecting low-emitting products is an important strategy for achieving indoor environmental quality in many leading green building programs. GREENGUARD is specified and approved by the world's leading sustainable building programs including:
