Issue 15/2016 - Innovative sealants contribute to the green development of China's construction industry

Innovative Sealants Help the Green Development
of China's Construction Industry Recently, Bostik has released an innovative construction sealant product, Seal N Flex 630, a silane-modified polymer (SMP)-based sealant developed for a range of applications in precast panel sealing and bonding, aiming to revolutionize China's construction industrialization
.

In addition to high flexibility, it offers excellent adhesion, weather resistance, durability and is available in a variety of colors to meet aesthetic and high-quality requirements for gap bonding and sealing of precast concrete slabs, reinforced concrete slabs, metal curtain wall steel structures, cement panels and
window frame connections.
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that Bostik independently develops and produces sealant products in China to serve the fast-growing construction market
under China's "One Belt, One Road" policy.

This new sealant not only meets the new market demand, but also increases the use
of industrial construction methods in the construction sector.
Compared with traditional construction methods, the construction methods used in building industrialization are more energy-efficient and can significantly reduce the impact on
the environment.

Bernard Pinatel, Executive Vice President of Arkema's Performance Materials division, Chairman and CEO of Bostik, said: "In the current environment of greener construction methods, Bostik will continue to invest in innovation and research and development to improve product performance and reduce the environmental impact
of its products.
We expect Bostik to make a great contribution
to the development of green buildings and building industrialization in China.
