Construction & Architecture

Modern building envelopes demand sealing and bonding materials that perform across a wide range of substrates, accommodate structural and thermal movement, and remain compatible with architectural coating systems. Regulatory requirements around volatile organic compounds, hazardous substances, and worker safety continue to tighten globally — from REACH diisocyanate training mandates in Europe to LEED and WELL Building Standard credit requirements for indoor air quality. These converging pressures have driven a sustained shift away from conventional silicone and polyurethane sealants toward hybrid polymer alternatives that meet performance, safety, and environmental standards simultaneously.

MS polymer sealants address these requirements through an inherently isocyanate-free, solvent-free chemistry that delivers ultra-low VOC emissions and zero formaldehyde content. Unlike silicone sealants, MS polymer formulations are fully paintable with standard architectural coatings — eliminating masking, color-matching, and the silicone contamination risk that causes fish-eye defects in adjacent paint finishes. The neutral-cure mechanism produces no corrosive byproducts, while primerless adhesion to most construction substrates including natural stone, aluminum, ceramic tile, stainless steel, timber, concrete, and PVC simplifies both specification and installation.

Silantek’s construction product range spans facade and curtain wall perimeter sealing, structural glazing, high-tack panel and trim adhesives, flooring adhesives for resilient and timber substrates, fire-rated joint sealants, and anti-fungal formulations for wet areas. All products are available in cartridge, sausage, pail, and drum packaging formats to suit both manual application and automated dispensing.
