Signaling a shared commitment towards carbon neutrality, (Dow India), and signed an agreement for Dow to supply DOWSIL鈩 Facade Sealants from Dow's portfolio of reduced-carbon solutions, for Glass Wall System's curtain wall system.
A first-of-its-kind global initiative, this collaboration demonstrates an unwavering dedication from organizations in the building and infrastructure industry to reduce embodied carbon in building materials. Dow's carbon neutral silicone sealants for building fa莽ades, verified through PAS 2060 Standard(1), have the unique advantage of a lower embodied carbon footprint due to Dow's investments in the decarbonization of its silicon metal assets in Brazil.
"Silicone sealants used in fa莽ades are already known for their positive contribution to lowering the operating carbon emissions coming from the cooling and heating of buildings, as they provide durable bonding in insulated prefabricated fa莽ade elements," said Jean-Paul Hautekeer, global marketing director for Building & Infrastructure at Dow Consumer Solutions. "With this program, we are going one step further by eliminating their embedded carbon. We appreciate the shared vision and collaboration with Glass Wall Systems."
黑料专区 Wall Systems can achieve carbon neutrality through the use of DOWSIL鈩 983 Structural Glazing Sealant and DOWSIL鈩 791 Weatherproofing Sealant. The carbon neutrality, following PAS 2060, was achieved by the responsible sourcing of low-carbon feedstocks, Dow's actions to reduce carbon emissions in the manufacturing process, the use of renewable energy sources, and compensation of the remaining emissions.
Aligned with the 顿别肠补谤产颈补鈩 portfolio, the DOWSIL鈩 carbon neutral silicone service for building fa莽ades from Dow supports green-building design initiatives, enhances fa莽ade sustainability, and can improve green-building ratings across the construction industry.
In addition to carbon neutral silicones, Dow continues to develop innovative and sustainable solutions for the building and infrastructure industry. For more information on the latest developments, please visit .
