12
Introduction Three Main Questions
  • What do we want to cover today?
  • Why do I need or want to know this information?
  • How can I stay informed / comply with new and
    existing regulations and programs with minimal
    effort?

13
What do we want to cover today?
  • Overview of the national, state and local
    regulations and why they apply to the use of
    adhesives and sealants.
  • Overview of LEED and how it and other programs
    are attempting to establish environmental and
    health focused guidance for the construction
    industry.

14
Adhesives/Sealants and VOCs
  • Adhesives and sealants (AS) are considered
    consumer products.
  • Almost all AS contain VOCs.
  • VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) are specific
    chemicals that find their way into the atmosphere
    and are considered photo-reactive.
  • VOCs react with ground level ozone to produce
    smog.

15
Controlling VOC levels
  • Many regions of the country are mandated by the
    USEPA to reduce VOC levels.
  • The EPA has specified various regions as
    non-attainment or maintenance management
    zones.
  • Their purpose is to control and/or reduce the
    amount of VOC emissions.

16
(No Transcript)
17
How are VOCs managed?
  • The EPA manages VOC emissions in two ways
  • Direct Legislation they set specific VOC
    emission levels for AS under the consumer
    product category.
  • State Implementation Plans (SIPs).
  • 23 states are mandated to have SIPs to reduce VOC
    emissions.
  • California has the most pervasive and
    influential.

18
California Standards
  • Air quality is regulated by
  • California Air Resources Board (CARB)
  • Air Quality Management Districts (AQMD)
  • There are 36 AQMDs in California each with its
    own standards and enforcement.
  • Californias air quality regulations, including
    those applicable to AS are helping to define a
    national standard.

19
Ozone Transport Commission
  • The OTC is made up of thirteen Northeast and
    Mid-Atlantic States and the District of Columbia.
  • They have agreed in principle to adopt CARB as
    their new standard.
  • Five states have passed regulations identical to
    CARB that will became effective in 2005 as part
    of the own SIP.
  • Each state is responsible for their own
    enforcement.

20
Floridas Regions of Interest
  • Florida has three maintenance regions
  • Jacksonville, FL
  • Duval County
  • Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL
  • Broward County
  • Miami-Dade County
  • Palm Beach County
  • Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL
  • Hillsborough County
  • Pinellas County

21
LEED Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design
  • LEED is a program administered by the USGBC
    (United States Green Building Council).
  • LEEDs purpose is to certify commercial
    buildings as having met specific environmental
    and health standards.
  • Natural resources conservation.
  • Indoor air quality
  • Indoor and environmental pollutants.
  • They do not certify products or companies just
    buildings.

22
LEED Rating System
  • The LEED rating system is based on a total
    checklist score of 64 points.
  • Indoor Environmental Quality 15 points
  • Materials Resources 13 points
  • Energy Atmosphere 17 points
  • Water Efficiency 5 points
  • Sustainable Sites 14 points

23
AS in the LEED rating system
  • Adhesives/Sealants are covered in the LEED rating
    system in two possible places.
  • 1. Under Materials Resources, adhesives may
    contribute to Credit 5.1 that specifies a minimum
    of 20 of the building materials employed are
    sourced within 500 miles from the construction
    site.
  • 2. Under Indoor Environmental Quality, Credit
    4.1 Low-Emitting Materials (Adhesives
    Sealants), one point can be awarded for using
    Adhesives/Sealants that meet SCAQMD Rule 1168 and
    BAAQMD Reg. 8, Rule 51 VOC limits.

24
Why do I need or want to know this information?
  • Stay in compliance with every changing federal,
    state and local regulations.
  • Edge on competition by knowing your using
    compliant materials on your projects.
  • Protection against unethical groups or businesses
    seeking to profit by using misinformation.

25
How can I stay informed?
  • Use materials from companies that demonstrate an
    clear understanding of the requirements in your
    region and have formulated products to meet your
    performance and legal requirements.
  • Contact your state DNR and/or air quality
    district.
  • Contact your Bostik Findley Representative.

27
Volatile Organic Compounds The Essence of a
Green Adhesive/Sealant
  • A discussion with James W. Downing Jr.
  • Product Manager
  • Construction Adhesives and Sealants

28
Solvents
  • Solvents are currently an integral component in
    many adhesive and sealant formulations
  • Bostik continuously strives to offer materials
    with little to no solvent levels, without
    sacrificing performance characteristics
  • This translates into higher solids content,
    enhancing the value of our products over the
    competition
  • Many solvents are identified chemically as VOCs

29
VOC
  • VOC is an acronym for Volatile Organic Compounds
  • Volatile meaning readily vaporizing at low
    temperature
  • Organic meaning carbon-based
  • Compounds denoting a class of chemicals

30
VOC Effects
  • Environmental
  • Purportedly causes ground-level smog and
    formation of hazardous ozone
  • It is theorized that ground level ozone formation
    has contributed in the global warming phenomenon
  • Water pollutant
  • Health and Safety
  • May compromise indoor air quality, resulting in
    adverse health effects such as respiratory tract
    irritation, dizziness, headaches, etc.

31
Defining and Regulating VOCs
  • The organization with the broadest jurisdiction
    in defining, regulating, and monitoring VOC in
    the marketplace is the Environmental Protection
    Agency (EPA)
  • All Chem-Calk and Bostik Home Products meet the
    standards set forth by the EPA

32
Defining and Regulating VOCs
  • Other organizations have determined that more
    stringent VOC guidelines are necessary to protect
    the environment
  • One of the most stringent guidelines has been
    established by the South Coast Air Quality
    Management District in California (SCAQMD)
  • lt50 g/L for Sub-floor Adhesives (lt70 g/L General
    Purpose Adhesives), lt250 g/L Sealants
  • All Chem-Calk and Bostik Home products meet this
    VOC guideline, with the exception of the HDCA

33
Defining and Regulating VOCs
  • Preserving the environment and promoting the
    health and well-being of the consumer can be two
    distinct objectives
  • Thus, an organization known as CARB has
    established yet another VOC guideline for
    consumer products such as adhesives and sealants
  • lt 4 by weight for most Sealants, lt15 for most
    Adhesives
  • Containers gt 16 oz or weigh more than a pound
    less packaging, Roofing products, insulting
    foams, removable caulking compounds, floor seam
    sealers, products designed exclusively for
    automotive users, sealers that are applied as
    continuous coatings, and clear sealants are not
    regulated by CARB.
  • All Chem-Calk and Bostik Home materials meet this
    standard in current packaging.

34
Defining and Regulating VOCs
  • Another organization concerned with consumer
    products and related VOC content is the Ozone
    Transport Commission (OTC)
  • The OTC is a coalition of Northeastern and
    Mid-Atlantic states
  • The OTC has adopted the CARB VOC guidelines
  • lt 4 by weight for Sealants, lt15 for most
    Adhesives
  • Therefore, all Chem-Calk and Bostik Home
    materials meet this standard

35
VOC-Exempt
  • There is another class of solvents known as
    VOC-Exempt solvents
  • These are chemicals which do not contribute to
    ground-level ozone or promote smog
  • However, many of these chemicals have associated
    health risks for humans
  • Safe for environment does not equate to safe for
    human beings
  • Many competitive products incorporate these VOC
    exempt solvents into their products in order to
    meet VOC regulations, without considering their
    effect on the applicator
  • Exploiting a loophole is not Bostiks approach!

36
Bostiks Green Mission Statement
  • As a global leader in adhesive, coating, and
    sealant technologies, Bostik continuously strives
    to commercialize products that minimize
    environmental impact, and promote the health and
    well-being of our customers. Bostik shall
    demonstrate these objectives by achieving
    compliance with the most rigorous standards set
    forth by the leading recognized green building
    authorities.

    OF LESS THAN 25 MINUTES) ARE AVAILABLE TO ANY
    LUMBERYARD OR BUILDING MATERIAL DEALER LOCATION
    VIA BROADBAND OVER THE INTERNET.

39
Green Building Initiative (GBI)
http//www.thegbi.org
  • Bostik sits on the board of directors of this
    association and is a very active sponsor. The
    GBI has commissioned to the Athena Institute a
    Life Cycle Assessment tool for the commercial
    building industry. The mission of the Green
    Building Initiative is to accelerate the adoption
    of building practices that result in energy
    efficient, healthier and environmentally
    sustainable buildings by promoting credible and
    practical green building approaches for
    residential and commercial construction.

40
Green Building Initiative (GBI)
http//www.thegbi.org
  • Commercial
  • GBI offers the Green Globes software suite as a
    guide for integrating environmentally friendly
    design into new or existing buildings. The system
    includes an assessment protocol, rating system
    and suggestions for making buildings more
    environmentally friendly.

41
Green Building Initiative (GBI)
http//www.thegbi.org
  • Residential
  • GBI works with state and local homebuilder
    associations to develop locally relevant green
    building programs. These programs help builders
    develop homes that are energy efficient,
    healthier to live in and better for the
    environment.

42
GBI LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
  • The building sector is being called upon to help
    fight climate change by achieving ambitious
    reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions
    while at the same time incorporating other
    green considerations. Life cycle assessment
    (LCA) which allows the impartial comparison of
    building designs based on measures such as global
    warming potential is an essential part of this
    effort.

43
GBI LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
  • With introduction of the ATHENA EcoCalculator
    for Assemblies, architects, engineers and others
    now have access to instant LCA results for
    hundreds of common building assemblies. The
    results embedded in the tool are based on
    detailed assessments completed with the
    ATHENAImpact Estimator for Buildings, which in
    turn uses ATHENAs own widely acclaimed datasets
    and data from the US Life Cycle Inventory
    Database (www.nrel.gov/lci ).

44
GBI LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
  • Developed by the ATHENA Institute in association
    with the University of Minnesota and Morrison
    Hershfield Consulting Engineers , the tool was
    commissioned by the Green Building Initiative
    (GBI) for use with the Green Globes
    environmental assessment and rating system.
    Because of its value as an indicator of climate
    change impacts, the GBI also supported the teams
    creation of a generic version for use by the
    entire sustainable design community.

45
USGBC or US Green Building Council
http//www.usgbc.org/
  • Bostik is a member of the USGBC, which has
    developed in recent years a rating system for
    green building which comes short of addressing
    the entire scope of sustainable development.
  • The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
    (LEED) Green Building Rating System encourages
    and accelerates global adoption of sustainable
    green building and development practices through
    the creation and implementation of universally
    understood and accepted tools and performance
    criteria.

46
USBG LEED PROGRAM
  • LEED is a third party certification program
    and the nationally accepted benchmark for the
    design, construction and operation of high
    performance green buildings. LEED gives building
    owners and operators the tools they need to have
    an immediate and measurable impact on their
    buildings performance. LEED promotes a
    whole-building approach to sustainability by
    recognizing performance in five key areas of
    human and environmental health sustainable site
    development, water savings, energy efficiency,
    materials selection and indoor environmental
    quality.
  • Bostik provides through its innovative website
    http//www.greenmission.bostik-us.com/ guidance
    for LEED certification and details how Bostik
    products address specific LEED related
    requirements

47
Habitat for Humanity http//www.habitat.org/
  • Bostik, Inc through its membership of the NLBMDA
    (National Lumber and Building Material
    Distributors) donated products to help rebuilding
    the Mississippi area devastated by the hurricane
    Katrina in 2005.
  • Habitat for Humanity International is a
    nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry.
    HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and
    homelessness from the world, and to make decent
    shelter a matter of conscience and action.
  • Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races
    and religions to build houses together in
    partnership with families in need.
  • Habitat has built more than 250,000 houses around
    the world, providing more than 1 million people
    in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent,
    affordable shelter.

48
Bostik, Inc. and its sustainable products and
resource efficiencies
  • People in general are actively looking for
    products that have less impact on the
    environment. Bostik developed products that help
    our customers address their environmental
    challenges. Following are a few examples of
    products showcasing the response provided by
    Bostik to environmental challenges in the
    building, industrial and transportation markets.

49
Building Market
  • Bostik has been one of the first sealant
    suppliers in North America to introduce zero
    solvent, zero isocyanate high performance
    paintable sealants, Bostik 2020. By developing
    in-house a modified polyurethane technology,
    Bostik was able to propose a high performance
    solution to building contractors which reduces
    the level of emissions, including the emission of
    formaldehyde, released by conventional
    construction sealants.

50
Building Market
  • Bostik, with its new residential line, Bostik
    Home Series, addresses the issues related to the
    lack of hermeticity of residential building
    envelops by developing specific sealants for
    roofing, flashing, siding, window and door. These
    sealants have been designed to work for specific
    applications and in conjunction with specific
    materials to assure maximum performance.
    Bostiks latest Window and Door Sealant showing
    full compatibility with window flashing tape is
    the ideal product for window installation.

51
Transportation and Industry Markets
  • Bostik was one of the first adhesive
    manufacturers in North America to contribute to
    improving occupational health and safety in
    plants where adhesives and sealants are processed
    everyday. Bostik, with its innovative cold
    applied MS polymer-based, solvent-free,
    isocyanate-free primer less adhesive and sealant
    line of products, SIMSON, has reduced the
    emission of solvents and vapors as well as
    possible exposure to isocyanate at large assembly
    OEMs. This primer less system was welcome by the
    workers and by the unions representing them and
    has also accelerated the assembly speed by
    bypassing the priming station. It has also
    provided relief for manufacturing facilities
    having difficulties to reduce their VOC emissions
    to the level required by new regulations like
    CARB, OTC and AQMDs.

52
Transportation and Industry Markets
  • Reduction of cost per part as well as drastic
    reduction of emissions and possible exposure to
    chemicals is a proven record of this new
    technology. This new bonding technology also
    allows designers and engineers to use composite
    and lightweight organic materials to be assembled
    together to replace heavier materials such as
    metals and glass.

53
Transportation and Industry Markets
  • Bostik has also reinvented its line of anti seize
    compounds, Never-Seez. Ahead of the regulation
    changes for this category, Bostik Heavy Metal
    Free Never-Seez is used when the presence of
    copper, nickel or other heavy metals is
    prohibited.

54
Packaging
  • Bostik has been running a consistent program with
    OEMs to reduce packaging waste. We are
    converting OEMs from rigid packaging like
    cartridges and metal cans to flexible lightweight
    packaging like sausages. This new packaging is
    reducing the total weight of empty packaging by
    an order of 20. In order to convert customers to
    this innovative light weight packaging, Bostik is
    providing for FREE through an exchange program
    processing equipment able to use this new
    packaging.

55
Freight and Transport Alliances with Local
Distributors
  • Bostik has teamed up with local distributors to
    optimize its distribution logistic. By asking
    distributors to place large orders with us and by
    having distributors consolidating products of
    many manufacturers sold locally to their end
    users, the number of trucks and trips needed to
    bring products from our factories to the final
    end-users has been reduced dramatically. By
    continuing to move up the minimum quantity
    qualifying for a shipment from our factories to
    distributors, we are expecting to lower even
    further the impact of our transport of goods on
    the environment.
