MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Arclin, a leading provider of bonding, surfacing and related products for today's engineered building, industrial materials and natural resources markets recently announced that their Portland, OR and Hayward, WI Surfaces facilities have been added to its FSC Chain of Custody Certification.
