- Screened
- Identified
GreenScreen® List Translator Scores
- List Translator Likely Benchmark 1 / Benchmark 1An LT-1 chemical score is based on lists that identify it as a Chemical of High Concern.
- List Translator Possible Benchmark 1An LT-P1 chemical score translates to Possible BM1 and reflects the presence of the chemical on Screening A or B lists and some uncertainty about the classification for key endpoints. Further research is needed on the flagged endpoint to determine if the chemical is indeed a GreenScreen Benchmark 1.
- List Translator Benchmark UnknownAn LT-U chemical score indicates that there is insufficient information to apply the GreenScreen Benchmark Scoring algorithm to the chemical. That can be a good sign. Typically, only hazardous chemicals are found on hazard lists. However, lack of presence on hazard lists can also mean that the chemical has not been well tested. A full GreenScreen assessment will need to be performed to determine if a chemical is a Benchmark 2, 3 or 4.
- Benchmark 2Prefer-safer chemical.
- Benchmark 3Prefer-safer chemical.
- Benchmark 4Prefer-safer chemical.
- No GS data availableNo data available on List Translator lists.
Total VOC Content
Total Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content for liquid/wet applied products. VOCs get released into the air as the wet applied products dry. VOCs can cause acute symptoms, including headaches and dizziness.VOC Content data is not applicable for this product category.
Evaluation Program
The Health Product Declaration®
The HPD Open Standard provides a consistent, and transparent format to accurately disclose the material contents and associated hazard classifications for a building product.
How it works
Material ingredients are screened and categorized according to the hazards that international governmental bodies and toxicology experts have associated with them, based on two listings:
- Authoritative lists maintained or recognized by government bodies
- Screening lists, which include chemicals that government bodies determined need further scrutiny, as well as chemical lists not recognized by any government body.
What's in this product and why
SonaKrete is a premium acoustic finish with a very refined, plaster texture. SonaKrete is spray-applied, then troweled for a seamless finish making it ideal for historic renovation and domed or arched ceilings. SonaKrete is specified in interior spaces to reduce excessive noise and improve intelligibility without compromising aesthetic objectives. Additionally, SonaKrete typically provides these features at a more competitive install cost than alternative acoustical plaster systems. SonaKrete is available in two standard and specially-matched custom colors.
SonaKrete is composed of uniquely prepared cellulose fibers combined with natural fire retardants in a strict, quality-controlled manufacturing process to produce a Class A, Class 1 rated material.
How we're making it healthier
SonaKrete is UL GREENGUARD Gold certified and compliant with LEED v4: Low-Emitting Materials, CDHP/ California Section 01350, SCAQMD Rule 1168, and CHPS- Acoustical Ceiling. Additionally, SonaKrete provides high light-reflectivity, superior acoustical performance, and may contribute to sustainable credit categories for green-building initiatives.
SonaKrete "fc" does not contain silica dust, asbestos, mineral or glass fibers, or PCB’s.
