ADDING OPTIONS TO YOUR INDUSTRY

  
     
 

Aurora's patented equipment and coating technology can open markets and additional margins for a wide range of industry applications, including pool and spa, creative art sands, epoxy and terrazzo flooring, decorative pebbles or rocks, various architectural applications, aquarium aggregates, and more. Our base coating technology will work in all these markets, unlike our competition which must offer multiple lines of products.

Our coatings are non-toxic and safe to use in most applications. Our technology allows our customers to be "aggregate independent" - able to choose almost any substrate or size to be color enhanced, including quartz, glass, beads, rock, pebbles, sand and more. Our use of color coating technology gives us the industry's most flexible products and the ability to adjust to ever-changing market requirements.
