Green Series
Adhesives and sealants are an important part of the green building process in two areas: by improving a building's energy efficiency and by minimizing the effects on the environment and air quality. OSI® GreenSeries™ is the first green brand in the adhesives and sealants category, that meet both energy efficiency and global impact standards. The line offers a full range of green caulks, sealants and adhesives. The entire line of OSI® GreenSeries™ has reduced or eliminated harmful VOC (volatile organic compound) levels, designed in accordance with green building specifications.

OSI® GreenSeries™ Acrylic Urethane Indoor/Outdoor Sealant (VOC level < 5g/L [.1%]), a high-performance urethane formula for windows and siding, provides the durability of a urethane with the ease-of-use and water clean-up of an acrylic. It has superior adhesion and can be extruded easily when applied in temperatures ranging from 40 degrees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and its flexibility allows for excellent stretch and movement capability. When cured, this product is mold- and mildew-resistant and paintable. It is packaged in 10.2-fluid ounce plastic cartridges and is available in white.

Coming Soon...

GREENchoice™ Adhesives were designed to achieve maximum performance with minimum impact to the environment. The solvent-free and low VOC formulas provide a safe and healthy living and working environment.  Additionally, corrugate cartridges made from post-consumer recycled material help reduce the impact of waste on the environment. 

Adhesives are considered green based on the amount of VOCs in them. Adhesives, caulks and sealants are applied in a wet state and dry or cure. During that process a carrier evaporates, leaving the solids in place. For solvent-based products, these carriers are volatile organics, that when evaporated turn into volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The effect of VOCs can be very dangerous for installers as well as homeowners. This is why many consumers and manufacturers have begun to shift towards safer products, such as water-based products, that reduce exposure to harmful VOC levels.
