Health and Safety Focus
AMPRO™ has been developed using the same approach as for the award winning Ampreg™ 3X Series, prioritising user health and safety through careful selection of base chemicals. The new low toxicity resin matrix is CMR & SVHC** free.
Gurit carefully selects chemicals used in our formulations to ensure the lowest possible risk of future reclassification - securing the safety of our products and health and safety of end users. This approach is part of Gurit’s philosophy. As a responsible and sustainable supplier we aim to support, protect and forewarn our customers of potential changes.
