FORZA Leads Industry Shift Toward Safer, More Sustainable MS Sealants and Polymers
Council Bluffs, IA – [October 24, 2025]
Forza sets the new standard in industrial bonding with advanced MS polymers that meet evolving EPA and safety standards.
“This shift is about more than new products — it’s about preparing the entire industry for what’s next,”
COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ —
Forza, a leading U.S. manufacturer of industrial adhesives and sealants, is redefining the future of bonding technology. As environmental regulations tighten, safety expectations rise, and outdated chemistries face growing scrutiny, Forza is leading the industry’s transition to advanced MS (modified silane) polymers — a new generation of adhesives designed to deliver superior performance, regulatory compliance, and sustainability.
“Forza isn’t just responding to industry change, we’re driving it,” said Rob Glenn, Owner and Sales Director at Forza. “For too long, many manufacturers have been left behind as the big adhesive suppliers focused elsewhere. We’re here to change that. Our mission is to bring better, more responsible adhesive technologies to the industries that need them most.”
A NEW STANDARD FOR INDUSTRIAL ADHESIVES
MS hybrid polymer adhesives and sealants are quickly becoming the preferred choice for manufacturers across transportation, construction, appliance, and electronics sectors. They offer strong, reliable bonding performance while addressing the safety, compliance, and environmental challenges shaping the future of manufacturing.
Key advantages of MS technology include:
– Regulatory readiness: Solvent-free, isocyanate-free, and low in VOCs to help meet evolving EPA and global environmental standards.
– Superior performance: Exceptional adhesion across a wide range of substrates without primers.
– Durability and flexibility: Maintains long-term elasticity under vibration, movement, and temperature change.
– Worker and environmental safety: Reduces exposure to hazardous chemicals while minimizing environmental impact.
“This shift is about more than new products — it’s about preparing the entire industry for what’s next,” Glenn added. “MS technology will be the backbone of high-performance, high-compliance adhesives for decades to come. And Forza is leading the way.”
WHY THIS SHIFT MATTERS NOW
The regulatory landscape is changing fast. Under TSCA and the Clean Air Act, stricter chemical limits and heightened scrutiny of hazardous compounds like isocyanates and VOCs are creating compliance challenges for manufacturers. Many companies relying on legacy urethane or silicone technologies exclusively risk exceeding these limits — potentially facing fines, forced reformulations, or production disruptions.
Forza’s MS solutions give manufacturers a strategic advantage:
– Future-proof compliance with tightening EPA and global standards – Reduced downtime and simplified handling with safer formulations – Improved production consistency and fewer bond failures
– Lower total lifecycle costs and greater long-term reliability
MADE IN THE USA. BUILT FOR THE FUTURE.
All Forza MS adhesives and sealants are manufactured in the United States, supporting domestic supply chains, ensuring quality, and helping customers avoid overseas sourcing risks. Forza’s in-house formulation capabilities also allow the company to customize cure speeds, adhesion profiles, and mechanical properties to meet OEM-specific needs.
“When MS polymer technology first began making its way into the U.S., we saw its potential early on,” said Mike Glenn, Founder and Senior Technical Director. “For more than two decades, we’ve been refining and improving it to meet the demands of modern manufacturing — building better chemistry and better performance with every generation.”

WHY TILT-UP CONCRETE IS CHANGING THE GAME
Tilt-up concrete isn’t just another building method; it’s redefining how structures are designed and built. Here’s why the industry is rapidly shifting in its favor:
· Speed of Construction – Large panels are cast on-site and lifted into place, reducing build times compared to traditional masonry or steel framing.
· Cost Efficiency – Fewer labor hours and streamlined processes mean tilt-up projects can save up to 15–30% on total construction costs.
· Strength & Durability – Tilt-up walls offer exceptional resilience, with superior performance in wind, fire, and seismic conditions.
· Sustainability – Locally sourced materials and reduced transport demands make tilt-up one of the most environmentally responsible construction methods.
· Design Flexibility – Advances in formwork, finishes, and engineering allow for striking architectural possibilities once thought impossible with concrete.
As adoption grows, tilt-up is becoming the preferred method for warehouses, schools, office buildings, and even complex architectural projects, steadily replacing outdated approaches.
ABOUT THE TILT-UP CONCRETE ASSOCIATION
The Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) is the leading international nonprofit for the tilt-up concrete construction industry. Since 1986, the TCA has advanced quality practices, innovation, and global growth by serving as a strong advocate and resource for its members.
