Keywords: low-VOC silicone sealant, green building silicone, construction silicone, environmental protection standard, low odor silicone glue
Key Sentence: The newly updated global green building material standard strictly limits VOC emissions of construction silicone, accelerating the phase-out of ordinary high-odor silicone sealants.
In July 2026, the international green building certification organization officially released the latest low-carbon building material standards, imposing stricter VOC and formaldehyde emission limits on all architectural silicone sealants used for curtain wall sealing, door and window bonding, and indoor decoration. Traditional ordinary silicone sealants with high volatile content can no longer enter high-end commercial building and overseas engineering projects. Leading silicone manufacturers have upgraded neutral low-VOC silicone sealant formulas, achieving ultra-low odor, zero formaldehyde and long-term weather resistance performance. With the global boom in green building renovation and low-carbon infrastructure construction, environmentally friendly construction silicone has become the mainstream export product. Industry analysts predict that low-VOC green silicone sealants will occupy more than 85% of the global construction silicone market share within two years, bringing huge upgrading opportunities for compliant silicone deep-processing enterprises.
