Silicone-based products,
group 2 with a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content ≤2 % (VOC definition
according to Decopaint Directive) are manufactured from reactive siloxane and
so-called silicone oil, optionally by using fillers, extenders, colour
pigments, cross-linkers, bonding agents and catalysts. For most of the
applications the products are formulated as moisture-reactive one-component
systems; for industrial applications there are also two-component systems available. They
permanently and elastically seal joints planned for the building.
Silicone-based products fulfil key functions. Ingress of moisture into the
structure via the joints is prevented by joint sealants. With the use of
silicone-based products, the fitness for use of the building and the service
life are decisively extended. The product displaying the highest environmental
impacts was used as a representative product for calculating the Life Cycle
Assessment results (worst-case approach).
