Tandus Wins Awards at IIDEX/NeoCon Canada

Toronto, Canada, Sept. 24, 2010--Tandus products won awards at this year's IIDEX/NeoCon Canada.

The Urban Nature Collection on Powerbond won silver in the Resilient category and the Genesis fiber won bronze in the Innovative Products category.

The Urban Nature Collection captures historic Japanese art and architecture and was specifically designed for Powerbond, a hybrid resilient sheet floooring. Powerbond consists of a heterogenous construction of nylon and a closed cell cushion using heat and pressure.

Genesis sheath-core fiber was introduced to the public at NeoCon earlier this year. Genesis, a product of a collaboration between Tandus Flooring Technologies, the company's research and development center, and NatureWorks LLC, a division of Cargill, combines high-performance nylon with a bio-based polymer.

The sheath-core fiber is made of 15% biopolymer and 85% yarn-dyed or solution-dyed nylon.
