Dalton, GA, May 13, 2011 -- Carpet backing firm Universal Textile Technologies said its UTT BioCel, EnviroCel and EnviroCel Home backing systems have been third party verified by UL Environment as meeting the requirements NSF 140 certification.

UTT said the verification will allow carpet manufactures to use UTT carpet backing that is already UL verified. This will mean less time and less paperwork by carpet manufacturers as they apply for full NSF 140 certification with UL Environment.

“This completed project will enable those seeking NSF 140 certification through UL Environment to pursue expedited certification when using the UTT carpet backing,” said Chris Nelson, director of Global Commercial Development for UL Environment.
