Energy Efficient Products

Our sealants, weatherization, roofing and building products make buildings more energy efficient, which helps our customers reduce their energy use and GHG emissions.

Tremco CPG creates roof coating products that enable reduced energy consumption in the buildings to which they are applied, compared to traditional roofing materials. “Cool roof” coatings such as our AlphaGuard line of products reduce the heat island effect and enhance the ability of buildings to regulate temperature, leading to more efficient energy usage and a reduction in GHG emissions.

Tremco CPG SG200, SG300, SG555 and Tremglaze50 silicone sealants hold Low Carbon Footprint Certification by the South Korean Government’s Ministry of Environment, meeting South Korea’s green building requirements for construction of new commercial buildings. The lifecycle of these sealants also produces fewer GHG emissions than products of the same category.

Carboline provides coatings for the power industry, including renewable energy markets. Carboline's coatings for wind turbine blades provide long-term protection against high-temperature and extreme atmospheric environments, including harsh weather.

Euclid Chemical's Tuf-Strand SF is a fiber designed to replace energy-intensive materials such as conventional metal reinforcing bars (rebar) in a wide variety of building applications. When used in concrete, Tuf-Strand SF fibers promote higher infrastructure durability and safer working environments while reducing or eliminating the need for rebar — a material that can negatively impact the environment.

RPM works to implement creative waste reduction solutions in and through the use of its products. The purpose and formulation of many of Tremco CPG’s products prioritize recycled inputs and reduce lifecycle impacts. Their approach of “Keeping Good Roofs Good”–restoring aging but functional roofs with liquid-applied roofing systems–keeps tons of material out of stressed landfills each year.

VerdeCoat^® is helping to drive the food industry’s movement from plastic to paper-based packaging. These high-performance barrier coatings are all free from polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and can be repulpable, recyclable, or certified compostable for sustainable paper-based food packaging.

Through projects such as the American Coatings Association’s (ACA) PaintCare Program, we promote the extension of our paint products’ lifecycles. RPM participates in this program to help our customers recycle paint easily and safely, leveraging its more than 200 local waste collection facilities across the United States. More than 50 million gallons of post-consumer architectural paint have been collected to date.

Our Consumer Group’s R&D teams are working toward developing more water-based technologies and safer product alternatives. We strive to make our products as safe and environmentally friendly as possible for both consumers and associates working in our facilities.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency named our Krud Kutter line of cleaning products as a 2021 Safer Choice Partner of the Year. Krud Kutter earned this recognition by increasing its offering of Safer Choice-certified products by 9% and focusing on using concentrates and refillable bottles to reduce plastic use and emissions.

When hazardous wastes are spilled, one of the greatest dangers to people is the spread of pollutants into drinking water sources. Prime Resins’ SoiLok system seals off the soil and holds contamination in one place, preventing the waste from making its way into drinking water sources.
