ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF PERMATEC

We all have a fundamental responsibility to reduce to an absolute minimum the carbon footprint of any product /system that we use. Everyone in the construction industry should seek to source products and systems ‘locally’ on a best value basis.

PermaTEC is the only hot melt system that is manufactured in the UK.

IKO is the first to offer zero wrapper waste and the first to develop lower application temperatures

IKO is determined to set new standards of excellence in efficiency and performance of the manufacture and installation of hot melt systems in the UK.

IKO were the first to offer safe and convenient product packaging to the roofing contractors, which resulted in the North American suppliers changing from 45 gallon steel oil drums to thick cardboard boxes and plastic wrappers.

IKO have also lobbied the UK manufactures of hot melt machines, to develop more effective equipment, to enable the material to be melted faster and and at lower temperatures reducing energy consumption.

IKO understands its responsibility to continually develop their products and systems to minimise their impact on the environment.
