Arnco, the world's largest supplier of polyurethane flatproofing products marks the one-year anniversary of their revolutionary product ecofil&reg. Released last year at the World of Concrete Exhibition, ecofil® has become an instant success with many customers. Arnco has sold over ten million pounds of ecofil® during its first year (equivalent to approximately 40,000 tires filled).

The announcement came from Arnco President Larry Carapellotti who said “ecofil® has proven itself as a viable tire flatproofing alternative with the benefits of using 50% less petrochemicals and an inherently less expensive price. Its performance benefits have also been proven in most OTR tire applications.”

Mr. Carapellotti continued, “Presently, the prices of oil and petrochemicals have stabilized mainly due to the weak demand caused by the world-wide recession. But we can be sure that as demand increases we will see more spikes in these highly speculative commodities and the price of flatproofing will increase accordingly. That is why we at Arnco are committed to the concept of less oil dependent products which are both good for the planet and more stable economically.”

Mr. Carapellotti finished by saying, “We are proud of our contribution to environmental and economic stewardship and wish to thank all of our customers that have participated in this new technology development. It is our pledge to continue to bring innovations like ecofil® to the market with the commitment and demand from our loyal customers.”

To thank their customers loyalty Arnco has initiated the “one tote, one tree” (onetoteonetree.org) program. Through this program Arnco is planting one tree for every tote of Arnco material sold. Since starting the program they have planted close to 13,000 trees.

Arnco is based in South Gate, CA., and has production facilities in South Gate, CA, Berea, OH, and Manchester, England. For further information, call 800-821-4147, or visit the newly designed Arnco website at http://www.arnconet.com
