JFB Hart has been able to develop this technology because of the creation of their own resins and other proprietary ingredients. Understanding and knowing the all the chemicals used to develop the key resins and ingredients, allows JFB Hart the ability to mix raw materials together to work with water as the solvent.

The following charts show the basic types of chemicals used in developing polyurethanes and epoxies. What makes JFB so unique is the use water instead of solvent. The reason solvent is used in other polyurethanes and epoxies are to help the resins link together and add performance.
