What's New?
McCarty Group has just about made it through eight successful years. In a year with a historical presidential election, we finally made the move out of the home office and into a commercial office space. We are now located at 5905 Golden Valley Road, Suite 235, Minneapolis, MN, 55422. Our telephone and fax numbers remain the same.
In addition to moving into new office space, we are pleased to welcome Shannon Bauer to the team (currently part time). Shannon is a Dunwoody graduate and has shown a keen interest in learning the ropes of specification writing.
In early November, McCarty Group will launch its new email newsletter. If you are a current or past client, look for the newsletter in your email box soon. If you are not on our mailing list and would like to be, please click the “Join Our Email List” button above and you will be added to our distribution list.
Word-of-the-Month
Catalyst
Chemically, an ingredient added to a product to provide additional performance characteristics, such as faster drying, chemical resistance, or increased hardness of the finish.
Systems using a catalyst that might be familiar are epoxy flooring (fluid-applied flooring) and conversion varnish or polyurethane finishes on woodwork.
