| What Does "GREEN" Mean for the Chemicals in Our Products? |
Today, the most encompassing definition of a "GREEN" chemical has been developed by the US Government. RPCM® is the only phase change material on the market today that meets every single criteria.
It states that a "GREEN" chemical:
- Must NOT contain *'carcinogens', **'mutagens', or ***'teratogens'.
Must NOT contain any ozone depleting compounds, greenhouse gases or substances that contribute to smog
- Must have a chemical P.H. between 4 and 9.
