As the global real estate sector faces significant tightening, many construction-related businesses—especially in the sealant industry—are feeling the pressure. However, where some see obstacles, others see opportunities.
For construction sealant distributors, now is the time to evolve, specialize, and deliver more value than ever before.
At Jointas Chemical, we’ve worked with distributors across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, and here’s what we’ve seen work.
The New Reality: Market Shifts and Emerging Needs
1. Fewer New Buildings, More Renovation
Real estate investment is slowing in many countries. Fewer high-rise and residential projects mean fewer bulk sealant orders—but the maintenance and renovation sector is booming.
Old buildings need resealing, new energy regulations demand better air-tightness, and homeowners are investing in eco-upgrades.
2. The Rise of Green Building Materials
Low VOC regulations in the EU, North America, and parts of Asia are reshaping the product landscape. Distributors offering eco-compliant solutions, such as MS sealants and hybrid adhesives, have a clear advantage.
One standout performer:
Antas MS 331 Sealant – A solvent-free, environmentally friendly, fast-curing option for interior and exterior joints.
How Distributors Can Stand Out and Succeed
1. Offer Environmentally Certified Products
Whether you're supplying contractors, retailers, or project developers, offering low VOC joint sealants is no longer optional—it's expected.
Products to focus on:
- MS polymer sealants (modified silane)
- ISO 11600 and ASTM-compliant silicone sealants
- Formaldehyde-free adhesives
Looking for a reliable MS sealant supplier? Jointas Chemical offers both standard and private-label options tailored to different markets.
2. Go Beyond Selling: Be a Problem Solver
Distributors who provide:
- Technical data sheets
- Substrate compatibility advice
- On-site support or application training win long-term trust.
For example, showing how MS sealants can be applied on damp surfaces without bubbling can be a game changer for facade contractors.
3. Collaborate with Manufacturers
Work closely with sealant manufacturers like Jointas Chemical to:
- Customize product formulas for local climates
- Launch co-branded solutions
- Get first-hand technical and marketing support
This partnership helps you build a defensible niche in a competitive space.
4. Target New Customer Segments
Besides traditional developers, distributors should actively target:
- Renovation contractors
- Green-certified builders
- Property management firms
- Interior design and fit-out companies
Often overlooked, these groups have repeat small-batch demand that adds up.
