With sustainability and green buildings becoming a global priority, MS Polymers (Silane Modified Polymers) are emerging as a superior alternative to PU and traditional silicone-especially in the European market, where strict environmental regulations are reshaping industry standards.
✅ 1. REACH Compliance (EU):
The REACH regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) imposes strict controls on chemical substances in the EU.
PU-based sealants often contain isocyanates like MDI or HDI, classified as hazardous substances.
MS Polymers are isocyanate-free, low-VOC, and more compliant with REACH.
👉 For exporters, MS sealants offer easier market access and faster customs clearance.
✅ 2. LEED Green Building Certification (US-based, EU-used):
Though US-based, LEED is widely adopted in Europe's high-end construction projects. It evaluates indoor air quality, low-emission materials, and environmental impact.
MS Sealants contribute positively due to low VOC, odorless application, and easy handling.
Contractors and architects favor materials that help boost LEED scores.
👉 MS polymers are excellent candidates for green-certified construction projects.
✅ 3. EMICODE Label (Germany):
EMICODE is a respected emissions label for construction chemicals, with categories from EC1PLUS (very low emission) to EC2.
Advanced MS Polymer formulations often qualify for EC1 or EC1PLUS, making them ideal for indoor applications.
👉 With EMICODE, brands gain trust in eco-sensitive markets like Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
🔍 Summary:
Driven by environmental policy and customer demand, PU and some silicone products are being phased out.
MS Polymers offer a compliant, user-friendly, and low-risk solution-perfectly aligned with the future of green building.
For exporters, MS Polymer means higher compliance, lower regulatory risk, and premium value opportunities in the EU and beyond.
