| LATEX WALL FINISH TESTING
DESCRIPTION AND RESULTS |
A sample of RADIANCE™ EG-SHEL Wall Finish
was sent to an independent test laboratory and several raw material suppliers for
evaluation. Three samples of nationally branded premium wall paints were also sent
to compare RADIANCE™ EG-SHEL Wall Finish as a paint. A separate bulletin
summarizes the e-value testing. |
