What Does Sauereisen Do?
Sauereisen’s
expertise lies in two primary areas…high temperature adhesives
and corrosion resistant materials of construction.
They develop and manufacture
their cements and protective materials for distribution around the globe.
The people who rely on them for specified solutions are product design
engineers, corrosion engineers, construction contractors and, of course,
end-users and facility owners.
Their Roots
in Specialty Cements
 The
Sauereisen enterprise was established in 1899 when C. Fred Sauereisen
formulated his first specialty adhesive. This inorganic cement exhibited
extreme tolerance to high temperatures and was used to bond metal, ceramics
and glass. It is still commercially marketed as Sauereisen Insa-Lute Adhesive
Cement No. 1.
The product line grew
to include many adhesives and potting compounds used for the assembly
and electrical insulation of precision instruments. In time, Sauereisen
Cements gained a leading reputation for their applications within heating
elements, resistors, thermocouples, igniters and specialty lamps.
Today, Sauereisen’s
line of high-temperature cements includes several offerings that differ
by their setting mechanism, thermal expansion rates, physical properties
and handling characteristics. Customization of base formulations to facilitate
automated production is common.
Innovative
Growth into Construction Materials
Early applications
of Sauereisen products indicated a high degree of resistance to acidic
environments. By modifying the filler systems, Sauereisen introduced mortars
and refractory-grade materials. This led to expansion into the power,
chemical processing and steel industries during the mid 20th century.
Specifications for Sauereisen as a means of protecting concrete and steel
from aggressive chemicals remain commonplace in such structures as flue
gas ducts, process tanks, and floors.
Sauereisen expanded its technology through targeted R&D and acquisitions.
In addition to historic mortars, refractories and grouts, generic product
categories now encompass coatings, linings, membranes and polymer concretes.
Formulations have progressed from silicates and furan to epoxy, vinyl
ester and urethane.
In recent times, markets with distinct environmental requirements
have driven Sauereisen’s direction in corrosion. The municipal wastewater
arena is one such market. What distinguishes Sauereisen is the product
diversity to recommend the most appropriate engineered system and the
technical ability to service those who install it.
