Information Density — The Lens
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Information density is exceptionally high for a manufacturing site. Instead of generic quality claims, the text specifies the use of non-petroleum bio-plastics made from castor beans, soy-based elastomer sidewalls, and FSC ‘pure’ certified Columbian Gold wood. The About page provides a granular list of physical actions (mill, cut, glue, sand, sublimate, flame-treat) that prove Substance over Signal.
Information Density is read straight from the body copy: how much of the text carries grounded, checkable substance versus hollow filler. Below is the clean text the engine analyzed, then the industry’s known generic-claim patterns to weigh it against.

[IMG: Lib Tech] [H3] Lib Technologies BITCHIN’ BOARD BUILDERS We build snowboards, skis, skateboards and surfboards, No really… that is what we do. We don’t order them from China or anywhere else and send someone to go check and see how they turned out. We physically hand build them right here at home in the USA. We buy the toughest, lightest, strongest, most environmental materials; many of which aren’t meant for snowboards or used by anyone else for what we use them for. We mill, cut, glue, sand, sublimate, and flame-treat them into precise fitting puzzle pieces. We wet laminate them with our own formula of epoxy and put them in presses and formblocks we build ourselves then cure them for a specific time at multiple set temperatures, each unique model having its own set of rules. We deflash them, grind them, sand them, Scotch-briteTM them, drill them, scrape them, polish them, wax them, grade them, rework them if we need to, bag them, carry them over to shipping on the forklift, put them in their bins, and then ship them to you. We have been doing this every day for three decades. We build snowboards. lib-tech.com [IMG: GNU] [H3] GNU Snowboards and Bindings Founded with joy in a hypothermic delirium, Gnu derives energy from universal truth.

Continue to Mervin.com Click to Explore [H2] Environmental [H3] We recycle all our wood! Mervin has been building snowboards every day for over 26 years. From the very beginning we have always tried to be as environmentally conscious as possible with both our work environment and the materials and processes we use. Nearly Canadian Kraftsmen need healthy work and play environments so they can achieve maximum shred. We use non-petroleum based bio-plastics made from castor beans. Beans are a magical fruit! We DON’T use any cancer-causing toxic automotive lacquer clearcoats. Cancer can result in death! You don’t have to support companies that use toxic printing systems. We use soy-based elastomer sidewalls instead of toxic ABS. We use only low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) epoxy resin systems. Our basalt fiber is additive-free & less toxic than conventional fiberglass. We use water-cleansed grinding systems to minimize airborne particulate levels. Pets are encouraged to stay out of the grinding areas. We use only renewable forest products for our cores. Columbian Gold is FSC “pure” certified. Fast growing trees have long fibers & natural pop. Wood is nature’s fiberglass! Our wood sawdust is recycled as a soil additive and scrap wood is donated as kindling. We recycle all our scrap plastics (base cutouts, etc.)! Our factory heating runs on renewable based biodiesel! [IMG: Norm Eco-Sub Printing] [H3] ECO-SUB PRINTING! Mervin uses an environmentally friendly water-based ink sublimation graphics system to print all our snowboard graphics! (As opposed to the majority of the snowboard industry, which uses toxic solvent-based silkscreen inks with thick solvent-based gloss curtain coats on top… the process of building boards that way is very toxic for both the environment and people working in the factory, and because of the toxic inks, other company’s scrap plastics are not recyclable.) [IMG: enviro-finger-joining] [H3] FINGER JOINING! SIZE DOESN’T MATTER! Mervin does not waste odd sized wood. Using our finger joiner, Mervin is able to use normally unusable “cutoff end” wood core pieces. The wood is actually stronger at the joint than regular wood. The result is that almost no wood is wasted and the boards are stronger and have more pop. [IMG: Eco Woodcores] [H3] ECO WOODCORES! We use fast growing framed eco woodcores. Good wood dust is collected so it can be recycled as soil additive. Scrap wood is donated as kindling. [IMG: Norm and a POP Box]
