Sealant Technology Meets Design
Pecora is committed to staying on the cutting edge of construction technology. As new challenges for sustainability and performance are presented to design professionals, there is an increased need for innovations in building resources to break new ground with products that meet these needs while still maintaining the integrity of the design. In an effort to offer advanced sealant technology, our R&D and Technical Services teams focus on solutions to specific sealant problems – not canned answers. Here are a few recent sealant advances with design professionals in mind:
- NST Non-Staining Technology™: The industry’s first complete line of non-staining silicone sealants. Read more about how Pecora’s NST Non-Staining Technology has removed the free silicone fluid molecules that migrate into substrates and run down the face of the building while maintaining the sealant properties you need. Don’t Stain Your Reputation™
- Security Sealant System: Pecora’s security sealants provide the tamper proof and tamper resistant properties increasingly being required in correctional facilities, schools and psychiatric facilities. Pecora’s Security Sealant Systems handbook explains how a systems approach to security sealants provides the hardness and strength necessary to eliminate the risk of tampering while preserving the joint movement level the building requires.
Sustainability in Building
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. In an effort to promote sustainable building, Pecora has developed LEED letters to provide the information you need regarding Pecora products. You can get Pecora LEED documents here or visit our Submittals Made Easy page to obtain the following by product: datasheet, MSDS, Test Certifications, Sample Warranty and LEED letter.
