from Italy to produce environmentally friendly car roofs. Non-hazardous,
water-based polyurethane adhesive is used on the manufacturing lines making
these roof linings, which have a high-quality feel. The use of solvent-free
water-based polyurethane adhesive largely contributes to reducing environmental
impact, since it eliminates harmful formaldehyde and benzene in the production
processes, and also in the finished vehicles that may affect occupants'
health.
