Advancing Building Envelope Performance with Silane Modified Polymer (SMP) Technology
About the Provider
Since the 1949 founding of Kaneka Corporation in Japan, Kaneka has become a global leader in fermentation technology, starting with the production of baker's yeast. Over the years, our fermentation technologies have led to innovations in ribonucleic acid protein (RNP) and developments in Single Cell Protein.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the properties of Silane Modified Polymer (SMP) technology and its performance advantages for building enclosure applications, including adhesion, flexibility, durability, and compatibility with multiple substrates.
- Compare SMP products with traditional Air Barrier technologies by reviewing installation practices, lifecycle costs, performance characteristics, and sustainability considerations.
- Review applicable industry standards, testing methods, and building envelope applications that demonstrate how SMP technology contributes to durable, weather-resistant, and energy-efficient building assemblies.
- Recognize how SMP products have been applied in a variety of building projects to support resilient, low-emitting, and high-performance construction while helping protect occupant health, safety, and welfare.
