Recycled Shingle Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dupps Company, has announced the appointment of RE Carroll, Inc., Ewing, NJ to distribute Harmonite powders. Harmonite is manufactured using a patented process that diverts used asphalt shingles headed for the landfill, and converts them into a unique finely divided, organic/inorganic composite powder rich in polar resins and asphaltenes. 

According to Jeff Hendrix, RSS Executive Director, “it’s always a pleasure when two well respected multi-generational family businesses can collaborate to grow both companies.  We are looking forward to working with the staff at RE Carroll to expand our market coverage and increase sales of our unique Harmonite powders in the Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers markets.”  Robert Carroll III, president of RE Carroll couldn’t agree more.  “We are always on the lookout for new products that add more value for our customers.  Early feedback has been very positive and we believe this will be a great addition to our product line.” 

Harmonite is a versatile, multi-functional product that can be used as an economical base compound for building new product formulations, or as a specialty performance additive to enhance existing formulations and replace or reduce consumption of more expensive compounds.  Harmonite has been used in various formulations to shorten cure times, increase product strength, increase viscosity, and increase tack.  It is ideally suited for use in a broad array of industrial applications in construction, road repair/maintenance and other diverse markets.  Harmonite has been used successfully in mastics, hot melt pressure sensitive butyl flashing tapes, roofing membranes, cold patch, crack fillers, and sealers to name a few.
