What are the key components of Carlisle Polyurethane Systems’ offerings?

Coatings

Polymer-based coatings protect and enhance the appearance of surfaces in industries such as automotive, construction and interior design, fire-resistance and disaster management, and even healthcare. And the demand for advanced coatings is increasing more than ever before given the increased focus on sustainability within each of these essential fields. The coatings product spectrum includes:

Environmentally appropriate coatings (water-based and bio-based formulations for builders and operators looking to better manage carbon footprint and reduce emissions output).

Specialty coatings (heat and fire-resistant applications, electrical conduction coatings for the energy fields, and other related products to enhance fuel efficiency and durability in the aerospace and industrial machinery spaces).

Adaptive “smart” applications (products to combat corrosion, rust and microbe damage, which is especially relevant in the automotive and healthcare arenas).

Adhesives

Adhesives play a vital role in providing efficient applications that can help bond materials such as aluminum and other composites—and they are used heavily in both industrial/commercial and consumer product development. Specifics include:

Green adhesive alternatives (the push for greater attention to environmental concerns makes the availability of water-based solutions that are resource-renewable and free of hazardous solvents and toxins all the more relevant).

Medical device incorporation (enhanced use of electronics in medical products requires adhesives that offer stronger conductivity and that are, at the same time, bio-compatible and able to effectively manage thermal heat impact).

Product packaging (especially in the e-commerce era, it’s critical that product packages for consumer and commercial goods be more flexible, lighter weight, and easier to ship and transport, while also meeting sustainable and regulatory requirements).

Sealants

Sealants help to close air gaps and fill in potential tiny holes that can allow water, air or chemical materials to leak and be released. They are used extensively in the fields of construction, automotive, and commercial storage and development. Examples of sealant product applications include:

Insulation and resistance (silicone and hybrid sealants aid with thermal insulation, increase durability and play a strong role in aiding with weather impact determent—an issue highly important for eco-friendly and energy efficient developers).

Advanced commercial sealants (utilized for large infrastructure development projects with installation projects involving high-impact structures such as highways, bridges, gateways and more).

Electric vehicle applications (as the EV market explodes, the need for high-performance sealants to ward off unwanted heat, vibration and other climate impacts is escalating).

Construction site support (sealants also can help to better protect doors, window frames, roofing from air/water exposure).

Elastomers

Elastomers are flexible, rubber-like materials that have a wide range of applications, ranging from automotive parts to medical devices. Specifics include:

Thermoplastic elastomers (these formulations can replace the use of traditional rubber and offer preferable properties for both ease-of-use and recycling capabilities).

Medical applications (bio-based elastomers offer a protectorate that can be sterilized for implants and prosthetics and deliver greater durability and longevity for enhanced patient satisfaction, safety, and practicality).

Automotive use (elastomers applied to gaskets, seals, hoses, truck beds, vehicle surfaces, tires, and vibration control components have a direct impact of smart car performance and longevity, while offering greater resistance to heat and electrical rigors).

As the industry continues to advance and become more bottom-line and environmentally motivated when it comes to materials innovation and development, CASE formulations will play an increasingly important and integral role in the marketplace. The ability of Carlisle Polyurethane Systems manufacturing to support sustainable initiatives—while also paying close attention to the way that all products in essential industries are becoming more streamlined in their composition—will be a fundamental part of category growth moving forward. If you are a builder, operator, designer or innovator looking to make your “smart materials” and products more digitized; easier to manage and manipulate; lighter weight to facilitate shipping, handling and installation; and safeguarded against leaks and exposure to climate impact, check out the Carlisle Polyurethane Systems’ product offering here: https://carlisleps.com/applications/.

Companies that focus on eco-friendly products and high-performance formulations will simply be better positioned to capitalize on growing demand in sectors like construction, automotive, electronics, and healthcare.
