Caring for the Environment with Sustainable Practices

Solocast and Solocast Plus are made from recycled high impact polystyrene material, it is then reformulated and molded into the Solocast system. It is possible for Solocast to be used more than once, after use it can be recycled under code # 6. Any access waste in our manufacturing process is also recycled. Advanced Formliners, LLC believes in a shared responsibility of taking care of the earth and our communities.

More environmental advantages with Solocast

• In some cases it has been re-used up to 4 times.
• Less water used to clean panels than other brick systems.
• Less waste because of its 4' width dimension.
• No need to acid wash in order to achieve a textured grout.

Extracast is made of sponge rubber and fiberglass yielding multiple re-uses. Extracast II is made of an elastomer and plywood, with 1/2 of the elastomer per square foot than other leading brand and yields 50 to 100 re-uses for minimal impact on the environment.
