Green building rating systems evaluate buildings across multiple categories. Sealants and adhesives contribute to three areas in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indoor Air Quality: The VOC Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compound. These are carbon-based chemicals that evaporate at room temperature. Many traditional construction chemicals \u2014 sealants, adhesives, paints, coatings \u2014 release VOCs as they cure and, in some cases, continue to off-gas for months or years afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elevated VOC concentrations indoors have been linked to headaches, respiratory irritation, and longer-term health effects. Buildings where occupants spend significant time \u2014 offices, schools, hospitals, residential apartments \u2014 are held to particularly strict standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under LEED v4<\/a> (the current international version), the Indoor Environmental Quality credit EQ Credit: Low-Emitting Materials<\/strong> requires that sealants and adhesives used inside the building’s weatherproofing boundary comply with VOC content limits. The relevant standard is generally SCAQMD Rule 1168<\/a><\/strong> ou Green Seal GS-36<\/strong>, depending on the product category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BREEAM<\/a> similarly awards credits under its Health and Wellbeing<\/strong> category for specifying low-VOC materials. The French HQE (Haute Qualit\u00e9 Environnementale)<\/a> standard addresses this under its Confort & Sant\u00e9<\/strong> targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The practical takeaway: sealants applied inside buildings \u2014 around windows, at expansion joints, in wet rooms, at structural junctions \u2014 should meet low-VOC requirements if you want to maintain your certification score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A building’s energy rating depends heavily on how airtight its envelope is. Every gap at a window frame, every unsealed penetration through an external wall, every poorly filled joint between precast panels represents heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sealants and foams are the primary tools for achieving airtight construction. Using the wrong product \u2014 one that cracks over time, loses adhesion, or fails to accommodate joint movement \u2014 creates air leakage pathways that permanently damage energy performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why green building programs like LEED and BREEAM emphasize the durability and movement capability of sealing systems, not just their initial installation. A sealant that lasts 30+ years without reapplication outperforms one that needs replacing every 10 years, both environmentally and economically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond VOCs, more advanced green building assessments now examine embodied carbon and material health. Product EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations)<\/a> quantify the carbon footprint of manufacturing and transportation. Programs like the Living Building Challenge<\/strong> and some BREEAM Excellent assessments go further, screening for hazardous substances in the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For sealants, two chemistry types stand out from a material health perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not all eco-friendly claims are equal. Understanding the chemistry helps you evaluate products honestly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Standard polyurethane (PU) sealants and foams are based on isocyanate chemistry. During manufacture and application, isocyanates present significant occupational health risks. They are a leading cause of occupational asthma worldwide and are classified as sensitizers \u2014 once sensitized, even tiny exposures can trigger severe reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many green building material health frameworks, including DECLARE labels<\/a> and the Living Building Challenge Red List, flag isocyanates as substances of concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it’s worth distinguishing between uncured PU products<\/strong> (where isocyanate exposure is a real risk) and fully cured PU materials<\/strong> (where residual isocyanate content is negligible). Professional handling protocols and proper curing significantly reduce actual exposure. Most certified PU foams and sealants remain compliant with standard green building VOC requirements after cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For projects where material health screening is particularly rigorous, isocyanate-free alternatives<\/strong> are worth considering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MS polymer sealants \u2014 based on silyl-modified polyether technology \u2014 have become the preferred choice for green building specifications in Europe and increasingly worldwide. Here’s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Isocyanate-free by design.<\/strong> MS polymers cure through moisture-activated silane chemistry. There are no isocyanates in the formulation, eliminating the primary health concern associated with polyurethane products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Low VOC content.<\/strong> Quality MS polymer sealants typically contain VOC levels well below the thresholds required by LEED EQ credits and BREEAM. Many comply with SCAQMD Rule 1168 for architectural sealants (maximum 250 g\/L for certain categories, with some products achieving under 50 g\/L).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Excellent durability.<\/strong> MS polymers maintain their elastic properties across temperature extremes, resist UV degradation, and form strong bonds to diverse substrates without primers. Fewer reapplication cycles over a building’s lifetime means less construction waste and lower lifecycle impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paintable surfaces.<\/strong> Many green building interiors use paint systems for aesthetics and hygiene. MS polymer sealants accept paint without adhesion problems \u2014 a practical advantage that silicone cannot match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No silicone migration.<\/strong> Silicone sealants are notorious for surface contamination. The silicone oils that contribute to their flexibility migrate onto surrounding surfaces, preventing paint adhesion and creating ongoing maintenance challenges. MS polymers don’t exhibit this behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not all silicone sealants are equal from an environmental perspective. Acetoxy-cure silicones<\/strong> \u2014 the standard hardware-store type \u2014 release acetic acid (vinegar smell) during cure. While not classified as a serious VOC concern, the off-gassing can cause irritation in enclosed spaces and may corrode metal substrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neutral-cure silicones<\/strong>, by contrast, cure through an oxime or alkoxy mechanism that releases minimal off-gas. They carry inherently low VOC content, are suitable for use in occupied or sensitive environments, and comply with the strictest indoor air quality standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For external applications \u2014 structural glazing, curtain wall sealing, facade joints \u2014 neutral-cure silicones remain the standard. Their UV resistance and temperature range (-50\u00b0C to +150\u00b0C) are unmatched by any alternative chemistry. For green building purposes, neutral-cure formulations should always be preferred over acetoxy types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Water-based acrylic sealants are the lowest-VOC option available. As latex-based products, their VOC content can be near zero. They are safe to handle, paintable, and cost-effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their limitation is performance. Acrylics are not suitable for wet areas, exterior weatherproofing, or joints with significant movement. They are appropriate for interior decorative applications \u2014 gap-filling around architraves, skirtings, and static interior joints \u2014 where low VOC is a priority and mechanical demands are modest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Knowing the specific requirements helps you specify correctly from the start.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The LEED v4 Low-Emitting Materials credit applies to multiple product categories. For adhesives and sealants<\/strong>, the requirement is that products used inside the building’s weatherproofing boundary comply with VOC content limits per SCAQMD Rule 1168, or alternatively that the total VOC concentration in the finished space meets the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) standard Method v1.2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key thresholds under SCAQMD Rule 1168 for common sealant categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Products used outside<\/strong> the weatherproofing boundary \u2014 facade joint sealants, external expansion joint fillers \u2014 are not subject to the Low-Emitting Materials credit. However, they may still be evaluated for durability and lifecycle performance under other credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BREEAM’s approach is slightly different. The Hea 02: Indoor Air Quality<\/strong> credit rewards specifying products that minimize VOC emissions. BREEAM accepts several compliance routes, including third-party product certification under schemes like M1 (Finland)<\/strong>, Emicode EC1<\/strong> (Germany\/Europe), or equivalent national standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emicode EC1<\/strong> certification is particularly relevant for construction chemicals in Europe. It is issued by the GEV (Gemeinschaft Emissionskontrollierte Verlegewerkstoffe) and indicates very low emissions. Many MS polymer sealants from quality manufacturers carry EC1 certification, making BREEAM compliance straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BREEAM also awards credits under its Mat<\/strong> (Materials) category for products with EPDs, for responsibly sourced materials, and for designs that allow disassembly and material recovery \u2014 a consideration that favors sealants which can be removed without destroying adjacent substrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The French HQE standard is particularly relevant given increasing European market activity. HQE evaluates buildings across 14 environmental targets (Cibles). Relevant targets for sealant specification include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n French construction increasingly requires FDES<\/strong> (Fiches de D\u00e9clarations Environnementales et Sanitaires) \u2014 the French equivalent of EPDs \u2014 for materials used in certified projects. When sourcing sealants for French projects, requesting an FDES or a European EPD from your supplier is appropriate due diligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most sustainable sealant is one you never have to replace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Building envelopes move. Thermal expansion contracts and expands facade panels. Structural settlement shifts joints. Wind loading cycles stress connections repeatedly over decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A sealant that cannot accommodate this movement will eventually crack, debond, or cohesively fail \u2014 creating air leakage pathways that progressively worsen. From an energy performance perspective, this is a silent efficiency killer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quality sealants for green building applications should offer at minimum Capacidade de movimento \u00b125%<\/strong> (Class 25 under ISO 11600). Joints subject to significant thermal cycling \u2014 metal facade panels, glazed curtain walls, exposed concrete \u2014 may require \u00b150% movement capability<\/strong> (Class 25HM or equivalent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n MS polymers and neutral-cure silicones both achieve Class 25 performance. For high-movement applications, products specifically rated for Class 25HM are the appropriate specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Polyurethane installation foam is the primary material used to seal the gap between window\/door frames and the surrounding structure. In passive house and low-energy construction, this application is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n O RAL seal of quality<\/strong> for window installation (RAL GZ 695) in Germany and the certified window installation<\/strong> guidelines across Europe specify that installation foams should achieve air permeability class 1, 2 or 3 under EN 12207 when properly applied. Low-expansion foams specifically formulated for window installation \u2014 rather than standard gap-filling foams \u2014 are required for quality airtight construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For sustainable construction, look for installation foams with documented low-VOC formulations and, where possible, those that have been tested in conjunction with window profile manufacturers to confirm the complete system performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sustainable construction is growing globally, but priorities differ by region.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Gulf states \u2014 UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait \u2014 have adopted LEED as their primary green building framework. Abu Dhabi’s Estidama (Pearl Rating System) and the Saudi Green Building Forum operate alongside LEED but share similar material emission principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The challenge in the Gulf is extreme heat. Sealants must simultaneously satisfy LEED low-VOC requirements and maintain performance at ambient temperatures regularly exceeding 50\u00b0C, with substrate temperatures potentially reaching 70\u201380\u00b0C on exposed south-facing facades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neutral-cure silicone sealants remain the workhorses of Gulf facade sealing. Their thermal stability is unmatched. However, for interior applications and joint sealing in air-conditioned spaces, MS polymers offer competitive performance with better overall sustainability credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Singapore’s Green Mark scheme, Malaysia’s GBI (Green Building Index), and Thailand’s TREES certification are regional frameworks modeled partly on LEED. All incorporate indoor air quality requirements that align with low-VOC sealant specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the tropical climate of Southeast Asia, the primary performance challenge is humidity and biological growth. Anti-mold<\/strong> formulations are often a baseline requirement for sanitary and wet area sealants. The good news is that quality anti-mold neutral-cure silicones and MS polymers can simultaneously satisfy low-VOC requirements and provide the fungal resistance essential in high-humidity environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cold continental climate of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and neighboring countries makes building envelope airtightness a primary energy concern. Poorly sealed windows and facade joints can be responsible for 20\u201340% of heating energy loss in multi-unit residential buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Green building awareness is growing in this region, driven partly by international financing (World Bank, EBRD) that increasingly conditions loans on green building compliance. For Central Asian projects, the emphasis is practical energy savings rather than formal certification \u2014 but the technical requirements are the same: durable, high-movement sealants that maintain airtightness through extreme temperature cycles from -40\u00b0C summers to +35\u00b0C summers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n European projects \u2014 particularly in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia \u2014 operate under the most demanding sustainability requirements globally. The EU’s revised Construction Products Regulation (CPR), the Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance, and national net-zero building programs have collectively raised the specification bar significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For European projects, suppliers should be prepared to provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This documentation requirement is one area where sourcing decisions matter. Working with a supplier who understands European regulatory requirements and can provide proper documentation is essential \u2014 not just a commercial preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Matching the right product to your green building requirements.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n BoPin’s MS polymer sealant line is well suited to sustainable construction requirements. As isocyanate-free, low-VOC products with excellent adhesion to diverse substrates, they align naturally with LEED, BREEAM and HQE specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pol\u00edmero MS multiuso BoPin MS-220<\/a><\/strong> is a single-component, moisture-cure sealant suitable for interior and exterior joints in general construction. Its paintability makes it the natural choice for visible interior sealing work in certified projects.

This product addresses applications where standard silicones are pushed to their limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BoPin MS-850 Adhesive MS Polymer<\/a><\/strong> functions as both a sealant and a structural adhesive. Its isocyanate-free chemistry and low-VOC profile make it preferred for bonding applications in sensitive environments \u2014 facades, stone cladding, composite panels \u2014 where occupant health and material compliance are priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For green building documentation, contact us directly for product VOC content data, safety data sheets (SDS), and guidance on compliance with specific certification requirements for your project location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BoPin 770 Silicone Neutro Resistente \u00e0s Intemp\u00e9ries<\/strong> is formulated without acetoxy cure chemistry, minimizing off-gas during application. With a service temperature range of -50\u00b0C to +150\u00b0C and Class 25 movement capability, it covers the majority of facade and exterior sealing requirements in certified buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BoPin 550 Silicone Neutro Sanit\u00e1rio<\/strong> combines low-VOC neutral-cure chemistry with anti-mold protection for wet area applications \u2014 bathrooms, kitchens, wet rooms \u2014 where indoor air quality and hygiene requirements overlap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BoPin 635 Silicone Neutro de Pedra Natural<\/strong> addresses sealing of premium stone surfaces \u2014 marble, granite, travertine \u2014 common in high-specification sustainable buildings. Its non-staining neutral cure formula prevents the surface contamination that can compromise both aesthetics and certification documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BoPin A-180 Acrylic Sealant<\/strong> is a water-based, near-zero-VOC product for interior joint finishing. It is appropriate for static interior gaps \u2014 around door frames, skirtings, ceiling junctions \u2014 in environments where air quality standards demand the lowest possible emission profile. It is paintable with water-based and solvent-based systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use this checklist when evaluating sealant products for green building projects.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before finalizing your sealant specification for a certified project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Documentation to Request from Your Supplier:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Performance Requirements to Verify:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Application Conditions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What VOC level do I need to meet LEED low-emitting materials requirements for sealants?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Under LEED v4, architectural sealants must contain no more than 250 g\/L VOC. Fireproofing sealants must be below 100 g\/L. These limits apply to products used inside the building’s weatherproofing boundary. Many quality MS polymer and neutral-cure silicone sealants fall well below these thresholds. Always request actual VOC content documentation from your supplier \u2014 don’t rely on marketing claims alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are polyurethane foams acceptable for LEED-certified projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, in most cases. Standard polyurethane installation foams used for window sealing are outside the weatherproofing boundary (between the frame and the rough opening) and are therefore typically not subject to the indoor emissions credit. For interior PU applications, check the VOC content against SCAQMD Rule 1168 thresholds. Cured PU foam typically has very low residual emissions. However, for projects requiring material health screening (Living Building Challenge, Declare labels), isocyanate-based chemistry may need to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is MS polymer sealant better than silicone for sustainable construction?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It depends on the application. For interior applications, visible joints, and surfaces that will be painted, MS polymer sealants generally offer better overall sustainability credentials \u2014 no isocyanates, low VOC, and no silicone migration that complicates painting and maintenance. For exterior facade applications with high UV exposure and extreme temperatures, neutral-cure silicone retains performance advantages. The best approach is to match chemistry to application requirements, which sometimes means using both technologies within the same project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do I get an EPD for a sealant product?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) are prepared by manufacturers and verified by third-party certifiers. When sourcing products for projects that require EPDs, ask your supplier whether an EPD is available. Some major manufacturers have EPDs for their product families. If a specific product lacks an EPD, a general industry EPD (an average of multiple products in the same category) may be acceptable under certain certification programs. Contact your BoPin representative directly to discuss EPD availability for specific products and markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is the difference between EC1 and EC1+ certification for sealants?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Both are Emicode certifications issued by GEV (Germany). EC1 indicates “very low emissions” and EC1+ indicates “extremely low emissions” \u2014 an even stricter classification. Both are accepted under BREEAM’s Health and Wellbeing compliance routes. EC1+ products are appropriate for the most sensitive environments: schools, hospitals, childcare facilities. For standard commercial and residential certified buildings, EC1 is typically sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sustainable construction is no longer about achieving a plaque on the lobby wall. It is about building healthier, more durable, more energy-efficient structures that serve occupants and investors over a long service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sealants and construction chemicals play a genuine role in that goal. Low-VOC formulations protect indoor air quality. Durable, high-movement products maintain airtightness over decades. Isocyanate-free chemistries reduce occupational health risk on-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MS polymer sealants and neutral-cure silicones represent the current best practice for sustainable sealing. They deliver technical performance without the compromises of legacy chemistries. They align naturally with LEED, BREEAM, HQE and comparable certification programs worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The key is knowing what to specify, and working with a supplier who can provide the documentation your project requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BoPin Construction Chemicals works directly with international project teams \u2014 contractors, architects and procurement specialists \u2014 to match the right products to certification requirements and regional conditions.

It has become the standard expectation in Europe, the Gulf, Southeast Asia and beyond.
