Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation

What Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation does

Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation (CSFI) is a Cartersville, Georgia-based manufacturer of spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation systems, operating as a division of Carlisle Weatherproofing Technologies (CWT), itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Carlisle Companies Incorporated (NYSE: CSL). The company was previously marketed under Accella Polyurethane Systems and runs two manufacturing facilities in North America with a workforce of 101-250 employees. Its core product family, SealTite PRO, comprises two-component, one-to-one-by-volume spray-applied foams in both open-cell (SealTite PRO Open Cell, High Yield, No Mix, No Trim 21, and OCX biobased) and closed-cell (SealTite PRO HFO, plus Canada-exclusive SealTite One) formulations using HFO and HFC blowing agents. The closed-cell SealTite PRO HFO achieves a GWP of 1 and R-value of 7.2 per inch, with 96% lower GWP than HFC alternatives.

CSFI generates revenue through one-time material sales of its SealTite PRO product line, distributed through an extensive national distributor network and a direct enterprise sales force. End customers are reached through a CSFI-certified applicator locator and Carlisle PRO Academy, a structured certification program launched in September 2023 with 8 online modules, in-field evaluation, and optional 3-day advanced training. The company sells across four primary segments: certified spray foam contractors, residential and commercial builders, architects and specifiers, and homeowners, with a horizontal segmentation approach supported by dedicated resources on MasterSpec, ARCAT, BSD SpecLink, and LiveBinders.

CSFI's competitive positioning rests on regulatory and certification depth (industry-first third-party verified product-specific EPD, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2023 facilities, UL GREENGUARD Gold, USDA Biobased certification for SealTite PRO OCX, first U.S. 1-hour fire rating for spray foam in metal buildings, and CAN/ULC S705.1 / UL 263 ratings for SealTite One) and on a complete building envelope systems approach leveraging sister Carlisle brands (Hunter Panels Xci, Insulfoam, Carlisle Coatings & Waterproofing, PAC-CLAD). Operations are concentrated in the United States and Canada, with a documented case study base spanning residential, commercial, and institutional projects.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• International Fireproof Technology Inc. (IFTI)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerIFTI partnered with Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation to develop and test the SealTite PRO HFO product achieving a groundbreaking 1-hour fire rating for spray foam insulation in metal buildings. The combination of SealTite PRO HFO with DC-315 Intumescent Coating by IFTI was tested to ASTM E119 standards, making it the first U.S. manufacturer to achieve this fire safety milestone.
• Petersen Aluminum Corporation (PAC-CLAD)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerPetersen Aluminum Corporation partnered with Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation to create the only spray foam products that passed NFPA 285 requirements with PAC-CLAD Aluminum Cladding. This partnership enables designers to use SealTite PRO SPF products with PAC-CLAD metal products (column covers, corrugated panels, metal composite panels) in NFPA 285 compliant wall assemblies. Petersen is part of the Carlisle Companies family of brands.
• Hunter Panels XcicoreTechnology or IntegrationHunter Panels Xci, a sister brand under Carlisle Construction Materials, provides polyiso continuous insulation products for commercial exterior wall applications. Partnered with CSFI to offer comprehensive building envelope solutions. Products are NFPA 285 tested with wide assortment of wall assemblies for FRT wood frame, steel stud, CMU, and concrete constructions.
• Carlisle Coatings and Waterproofing (CCW)coreTechnology or IntegrationCCW, a sister brand under Carlisle Construction Materials, provides air barriers (self-adhered sheet, fluid-applied, fluid-applied vapor permeable), flashing products, and moisture protection solutions. Partnered with CSFI to deliver complete building envelope air and moisture sealing from a single source.
• Caliber QAminorImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerCaliber QA administers the Insulation System Daily Work Record (DWR) program required for all spray foam projects in Canada. Completed DWRs must be submitted to [email protected] within 30 days of installation to support quality assurance and compliance requirements.
• Harper General ContractorsminorImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerHarper General Contractors served as the general contractor for the Furman University residence hall project. Coordinated with Foam Insulation Company and CSFI to ensure proper substrate temperatures and controlled conditions during December spray foam installation.

Direct peers

• Huntsman Building Solutions: Direct competitor formed by the merger of Icynene, Demilec, and Lapolla. Offers open-cell and closed-cell SPF with HFO and HFC blowing agents, certified applicator programs, and equivalent building-envelope specifications—closely analogous to Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation's product, channel, and customer base.
• Demilec (Covestro): Canadian-origin SPF manufacturer now under Covestro, supplying Heatlok and related spray foam systems across North America. Competes head-to-head with SealTite One in Canada and closed-cell SPF in the U.S., with overlapping low-GWP HFO offerings.
• Gaco (Firestone Building Products / Holcim): Long-standing U.S. manufacturer of spray polyurethane foam insulation (GacoWallFoam, GacoRoofFoam) plus coatings. Targets the same contractor channel and offers competing open-cell/closed-cell systems, including low-GWP formulations.
• Icynene-Lapolla (legacy, now under Huntsman Building Solutions): Heritage SPF brand and pioneer of open-cell spray foam, now consolidated under Huntsman Building Solutions. Closely comparable originator of certified-applicator training models that CSFI's Carlisle PRO Academy mirrors.

Broad incumbents

• BASF (Walltite / Spray Polyurethane Foam line): Global chemical major with a dedicated SPF offering (Walltite/Elastospray) and the chemical feedstock depth to compete across blowing-agent generations. Overlaps CSFI in chemistry, open-cell/closed-cell systems, and certified-applicator models, but spray foam is one line in a far larger portfolio.
• Covestro: Polyurethane raw-material producer that owns Demilec and sells MDI-based SPF systems. Comparable as a competing SPF formulator and raw-material supplier, with the scale advantage of an upstream PU chemical manufacturer.
• Johns Manville (Berkshire Hathaway): Large insulation manufacturer across fiberglass, polyiso (AP Foil), and SPF-adjacent building-envelope products. Competes for many of the same builders, architects, and code-driven specification wins but with a broader insulation mix.
• Atlas Roofing (polyiso / continuous insulation): Manufacturer of polyiso continuous insulation and roof insulation systems that compete with Carlisle's Hunter Panels and adjacent to CSFI's closed-cell SPF. Comparable in commercial wall/roof specification battles and NFPA 285 wall assemblies.
• Dow Chemical (Great Stuff Pro / VORACOR): Major chemical manufacturer with SPF-related polyurethanes and foam systems for construction. Overlaps CSFI in PU chemistry and insulation, though spray foam is a smaller slice of Dow's diversified materials portfolio.
• Tremco (RPM International): Building envelope solutions provider with roofing, waterproofing, air barriers, and insulation-adjacent systems. Competes for integrated envelope specifications and overlaps with Carlisle CCW, Hunter, and CSFI in commercial wall assemblies.
