At Global, we were cheering the government's efforts. Because we had already recognized the dangerous environmental impact of CFC's. In doing so, we were one of the first manufacturers of molded foam in North America to institute ozone-friendly processes. At Global, we continue to lead the way with new earth-friendly technologies. Since 1991, Global has used a powder paint coating process to produce beautiful finishes on chair and panel frames, filing products and storage cabinets.
Powder coating provides a high quality finish with excellent chemical and corrosion resistance.
It is also environmentally friendly. Global's products are powder coated with a durable epoxy polyester hybrid. The powder in its raw form is classified as non-hazardous. No solvents are used in the mixing, application or clean up stages of the powder coating process. This keeps the air free from toxins so that it can be recirculated.
