Sealants for sustainable development: Material efficiency

1-component high performance sealants packed in foil packs cut solvent emissions in use and reduce the GWP of their packaging by 75%

 Posted Jan 20, 2017
  • Saving resources and reducing emissions into the environment are main drivers for sustainable development.
  • High performance sealants were traditionally formulated as 2-component systems requiring on-site mixing of the two components. After application, the equipment had to be cleaned using solvents. The product also have to be packed in metal pails to prevent premature reaction.
  • These 1-component high performance sealants do not need mixing and cleaning on-site. They react after application with water vapour in the air. Instead of the conventional metal pails they are packed in 600 ml foil packs.
