Environmental Impact Matters
MiraTEC trim and Extira panels are made from sustainable materials
No old growth wood is used in the manufacture of MiraTEC trim. It is made from wood that is of no commercial timber value and is the byproduct of other operations. This leftover wood is also detrimental to the overall vitality of the forest.
- All wood comes from an area within a 150 mile radius of the Towanda, PA production facility.
- 100% northern hardwoods are used, which includes maple, beech, oak and other species.
MiraTEC trim is treated with zinc borate, an EPA-registered biocide and a naturally occurring earth mineral that is environmentally safe and ensures protection against termites.
No Added Urea Formaldehyde
MiraTEC trim and Extira panels have no added urea formaldehyde with demonstrated formaldehyde emissions equivalent to background levels found in the environment, established in repeated testing by the Composite Panel Association (CPA). MiraTEC and Extira are also compliant with EPA TSCA Title VI CARB 93120 national standards.
Compliant with CARB and TSCA Title VI
EPA TSCA Title VI and CARB II: What is does it mean?
EPA TSCA Title VI and CARB II create a new higher emission standard than CARB I. Key information:
- June 1, 2018 – March 22, 2019 either EPA TSCA Title VI OR CARB II certification are acceptable
- After March 22, 2019 EPA TSCA Title VI certification is required
- Impacts composite wood panels and finished products containing such composite wood panels that are manufactured or imported into US
- Certification testing must be done by a third party
MiraTEC and Extira are both certified as compliant products.
Proposition 65
Proposition 65 is the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 which requires the state to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Proposition 65 was updated December 29, 2017 (effective August 1, 2018) to include wood dust as a known carcinogen, which is why MiraTEC and Extira packaging and installation guides now include safe harbor language.
