Urban development has rapidly changed skylines across the world. However, with growth comes a growing burden on natural resources, energy systems, and our environment.
This has resulted in a global movement toward green buildings: buildings designed to reduce their environmental impact at the same time as ensuring comfort, durability, and performance for the long term.

A significant contributing factor to this change is the changing use of Construction Chemicals for Green Buildings. Construction chemicals are specialized chemical solutions that improve the efficiency, durability, sustainability, and performance of buildings. They reduce energy use, enhance the effective life of the structure, and contribute to healthier living environments.
At Sakshi Chem Sciences Pvt. Ltd., we have been on the forefront of enabling this shift to sustainability through ongoing product innovation and a range of high-quality products.
With 20+ years of experience, a modern R&D lab and a capacity for global exports, we produce construction chemicals that are effective to use, affordable and environmentally sustainable.
What is a Green Building?
A green building is designed, built, operated, and maintained in a manner that lessens the impact on the environment and maximizes efficiency of resources over the lifecycle of the building.
Characteristics of Green Buildings
- Energy Efficiency
- Water Conservation
- Sustainable Construction Materials
- Indoor Air Quality
- Waste Reduction
- Thermal Comfort and Control of Temperature
- Durability and Low Maintenance
- Smart Technology Integration
Construction chemicals play a direct role in each of these performance areas, making today’s infrastructure more sustainable and smarter.
Construction Chemicals Role in Green Building
Construction Chemicals for Green Building support sustainability in many different ways, which translates into durable performance.
1. Increasing Energy Efficiency by Means of Roof Coatings
Roof coatings are either heat reflective or provide insulation to lessen the effect of heat on the roof; therefore, decreasing heat absorption, which lowers the temperature of the interior of the building (reducing air conditioning load as well).
This practice also lowers energy consumption while increasing occupant comfort. While roof coatings provide value in any climate, in warm climates like India, coatings significantly improve thermal performance.
2. Provide Moisture Protection with Waterproofing Solutions
Water infiltration is one of the leading causes of structural failure. High-performance waterproofing construction chemicals provide the following:
- Prevent seepage and leakage
- Export moisture outside of the building
- Protects steel reinforcement from corrosion
- Decrease future repair and maintenance needs
Even more importantly, helps objects retain their original strength and appearance for decades.
3. Enables Faster and Cleaner Construction with Eco-Friendly Adhesives & Sealants
Newer adhesives in the marketplace enable jointless construction and replace older construction methods with mechanical fasteners. Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) adhesives and sealants provide the following:
- Decrease indoor air pollution
- Helps reduce the construction schedule
- Enhances bonding and durability of materials
- Contributes to a healthy and cleaner indoor environment.
4. Enhance Structures with Concrete Admixture Solutions
Concrete is generally the underpinning of most buildings. However, the production of concrete traditionally embeds a lot of water and cement. Concrete admixture are a solutions.
A Concrete Admixture can:
- Lower the use of water
- Increase workability
- Reduce shrinkage and cracking
- Enhance the load-bearing capacity
Thus, buildings do not need to be redone so soon, which collectively preserves resources.
5. Lifespan Extend Through Repair and Rehabilitation Chemical
Cracks, degradation of structure, and surface decay will happen, but the availability of repairs can avoid serious degradation.
Cracking and repair materials, polymer-modified mortars, and structural strengthening materials extend the life of a building and keep materials from entering the waste stream, as reconstruction would.
6. Indoor Air Quality Improvement via Purifying Coatings
Specialized coatings used for walls that neutralize pollutants and mitigate allergens are becoming popular inside homes, hospitals and other commercial environments. These coatings facilitate healthier living conditions through cleaner indoor air quality.
7. Sustainable Durable Flooring Systems
Floor coatings are available today, with low-VOC and energy-efficient compositions, that provide wear resistance while complying with green construction standards.
Why This Is Important For The Future?
Buildings account for as much as :
~34% of the world’s energy consumption.
~37% of the world’s CO₂ emissions.
The shift toward safer, green buildings is not an option, but a requirement for the sustainability of our environment and the well-being of humanity.
Your government, architects, contractors, and developers want their products to utilize greener and longer-lasting materials. Construction chemical manufacturers play an important role in much of these environmental sustainability goals.
