Building & Construction

INDUSTRIES

Building materials must deliver both visual appeal and long-term durability across decorative and industrial applications while meeting rising sustainability, energy efficiency, and regulatory requirements.

Nagase America’s portfolio of resins, pigments, dispersions, additives, and functional materials helps manufacturers develop high-performance coatings, concrete systems, and building materials that improve durability, reduce environmental impact, and streamline formulation.

Focus Areas

NIR Pigments for Energy-Efficient Construction

Urban heat island mitigation and building energy efficiency are increasing demand for materials that reduce heat absorption in roofing and exterior applications. Our IR-reflective pigments from Vibrantz and Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha (ISK), including Cool Colors® technologies, enable darker aesthetics while reflecting solar infrared radiation to help lower surface temperatures and support energy-efficient building design.

Sustainable Concrete & Infrastructure Materials

Decarbonization initiatives are transforming concrete formulation as manufacturers seek to reduce clinker content and lower embodied carbon. Our ASTM C1797-compliant HuberCrete® fillers enable partial cement replacement without compromising strength, while water-based VINAVIL® binders support lower-VOC construction systems and improved material workability.

Construction Adhesives & Low-VOC Systems

Stricter indoor air quality standards and zero-VOC requirements are reshaping adhesive and coating development. Our water-based VINAVIL® binders and Mistron® talc solutions help manufacturers achieve strong adhesion and optimized rheology while reducing solvent content and supporting compliant formulations.

Infrastructure Longevity & Corrosion Control

Resilient infrastructure requires materials engineered to withstand chemical exposure, moisture ingress, and long service cycles. Our EPON resin and EPIKURE curing systems provide protective performance for bridge overlays, industrial flooring, and coatings, while HuberPure® NSF solutions support corrosion control and durability in water infrastructure applications.
