BuildingGreen has awarded PROSOCO’s silyl-terminated
poly-ether (STPE) R-Guard products with a coveted spot on its highly regarded Top
10 Green Products list for 2015. BuildingGreen, publisher of Environmental Building News publicized its
Top 10 products at the GreenBuild 2014 conference, Oct. 22-23, in New
Orleans.
PROSOCO R-Guard fluid-applied Cat 5 air barrier system was praised by
BuildingGreen as “representing one of the best in the class.” The components of
the Cat 5 system – Joint & Seam Filler, FastFlash and Cat 5, “are all based
on the same high-performance ‘hybrid’ polymer chemistry, which has no solvents
or isocyanates.”
PROSOCO’s removal of phthalate plasticizers from the system
has also enabled its use on Living Building Challenge projects like the Bullitt
Center.
“To appear on BuildingGreen’s Top 10 list is one of the most
prestigious honors that PROSOCO has received in my tenure here, and one that
we’re extremely proud of,” said Dwayne Fuhlhage, PROSOCO’s sustainability and
environment director. “We at PROSOCO have been privileged to collaborate with
the best design, engineering and construction firms in the world. I’m excited
to see high-performance designs, durable assemblies and Net Zero Energy
buildings moving to the mainstream.”
The Top 10 list, now in its 13th year, reads like a veritable
“who’s who” in the green building materials industry. A panel of BuildingGreen
editors select the top 10 most innovative green building products from hundreds
of products every year across a myriad of sectors.
PROSOCO was also commended for its support to architects and
contractors as well as its leadership role in ingredient disclosure protocols.
“The company offers technical support during both design and
construction, and has been a leader in disclosure of ingredients, with this and
other products carrying a Health Product Declaration (HPD).”
