They also add important characteristics, such as
SWELLCOAT® water-blocking, water repellence, adhe-
sion, color, and wear and UV-resistance to these and
many other applications.
We believe that our ongoing
commitment to protect the environment, to remain at
the forefront of fiber and coating technology, and to
‘treat others as we want to be treated’ will continue to
drive the success of our customers, shareholders, and
employees.
