Core offering

Sauereisen manufactures and sells specialty corrosion-resistant protective materials—epoxy and vinyl ester protective linings and coatings, furan Novolac linings, polymer concretes, mortars, grouts, sealants, primers, and topcoats—engineered for municipal wastewater, industrial, power, chemical processing, food and beverage, mining, and oil and gas infrastructure. The company also manufactures high-temperature ceramic adhesive cements (air-set, chemical-set, and hydraulic-set grades) used in industrial assembly and equipment bonding. Products are sold under brand lines including SewerGard, RestoKrete, ConoGlaze, ConoCrete, FibreCrete, SewerSeal, H2OPruf, InstaPlug, and ConoWeld.

Product overview

Sauereisen is a third-generation manufacturer offering engineered corrosion-resistant materials and ceramic compounds for industrial applications. The product portfolio consists of two main lines: Corrosion Products (protective linings, coatings, mortars, and polymer concretes) and Ceramic Compounds (high-temperature adhesives and cements). The core Corrosion Products center on the SewerGard 210 epoxy lining system family with multiple formulations (sprayable, trowelable, glaze, high-strength, fast-set) designed for municipal and industrial wastewater environments, complemented by substrate repair materials (RestoKrete F-120, F-121 series), waterproofing products (SewerSeal, H2OPruf, InstaPlug), and polymer concrete systems (35, 255, 410 series). The Ceramic Compounds division includes air-setting, chemical-setting, and hydraulic-setting adhesives for high-temperature applications including lighting, thermocouples, resistors, and heating elements. Products serve industries including wastewater, chemical processing, power generation, oil and gas, food and beverage, and mining.

Products and services

• SewerGard 210 epoxy lining system 100% solids epoxy protective lining system for headworks, manholes, lift stations, and wastewater treatment structures; applied in vertical, horizontal, and overhead configurations to protect concrete substrates against chemical and biological attack.
• RestoKrete F-Series substrate repair materials Epoxy- and polymer-modified mortars and concretes used to rebuild and resurface deteriorated concrete substrates prior to application of protective linings, providing a compatible base layer within Sauereisen's full-system offering.
• Polymer Concrete restorative systems High-strength polymer-modified concrete composites used for structural restoration and protective surfacing in chemical, abrasion, and impact-service environments.
• SewerSeal waterproofing products Waterproofing sealants and coatings designed for sewer and below-grade structures, used to control infiltration and exfiltration and to seal joints within Sauereisen's full rehabilitation system.
• ConoGlaze protective coatings High-build, chemical-resistant glaze coatings designed for secondary containment, process floors, walls, and tanks requiring a smooth, easily cleaned, corrosion-resistant finish.
• FibreCrete linings Fiber-reinforced cementitious and resin-based linings used in severe chemical and abrasion service where added mechanical strength and crack resistance are required.
• ConoCrete flooring systems Protective concrete flooring systems for industrial and process areas requiring chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and slip resistance.
• H2OPruf moisture-resistant treatments Moisture-tolerant epoxy primers and treatments that allow protective linings and coatings to be applied to damp or newly placed concrete substrates.
• InstaPlug rapid-set repair products Rapid-setting plugging and repair products used to stop active leaks and perform quick localized repairs in concrete and masonry structures.
• Hi-Temp Ceramic Adhesive Cements (air-set, chemical-set, hydraulic-set) Line of high-temperature ceramic adhesive cements supplied in air-set, chemical-set, and hydraulic-set variants, used to bond metals, ceramics, glass, and refractories in industrial assembly and in-field repair applications where organic adhesives cannot withstand continuous high temperatures.
• ConoWeld primers Primers and bonding agents that prepare concrete and steel substrates for application of Sauereisen linings, toppings, and adhesives, ensuring compatibility throughout the protective system.
• Furan Novolac resin systems Furan Novolac resin-based lining systems engineered for particularly aggressive chemical service, including strong solvents and oxidizing environments, within Sauereisen's multi-chemistry protective line-up.

Direct peers

• Stonhard: Manufacturer of seamless epoxy, urethane, and methyl methacrylate flooring, wall, and lining systems for industrial and commercial facilities. Directly comparable to Sauereisen's ConoCrete and FibreCrete product families for chemical-resistant floors and protective linings.
• Belzona: UK-based manufacturer of polymer repair composites and industrial protective coatings for machinery, equipment, and infrastructure. Comparable to Sauereisen's polymer concrete and epoxy repair compound portfolio for chemical-resistant construction and equipment protection.
• Carboline: St. Louis-based global manufacturer of corrosion-resistant coatings, linings, and fireproofing products serving oil & gas, water/wastewater, and power generation markets. Directly competes with Sauereisen in protective linings for industrial infrastructure and chemical processing facilities.
• Tnemec Company: Privately held Kansas City-based manufacturer of high-performance protective coatings and linings for industrial, architectural, and water/wastewater applications. Directly comparable to Sauereisen in corrosion-resistant epoxy and polyurethane lining systems specified for municipal and industrial infrastructure.
• Aremco Products: Manufacturer of high-temperature ceramic adhesives, coatings, and specialty materials for industrial applications up to 3000°F. Directly comparable to Sauereisen's Ceramic Compounds division for thermocouple, heating element, and high-temperature assembly bonding.

Broad incumbents

• Axalta Coating Systems: Global coatings manufacturer focused on industrial and refinish applications, including protective and corrosion-resistant coatings. Comparable in industrial coatings technology but serves a much broader customer base and product portfolio than Sauereisen.
• Henkel: Global Fortune 500 manufacturer of adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings with deep industrial presence. Comparable to Sauereisen's ceramic adhesive cement and structural epoxy businesses but as part of a massive diversified specialty chemicals portfolio serving packaging, automotive, electronics, and construction.
• RPM International: Public specialty coatings holding company whose subsidiaries (Carboline, Stonhard, Tremco, USL) compete directly with Sauereisen in protective linings, flooring, and waterproofing. Provides scaled distribution and acquisition platform that Sauereisen cannot match as a standalone specialty producer.
• Sherwin-Williams: Largest global coatings manufacturer with dedicated Protective & Marine division serving water/wastewater, oil & gas, and infrastructure markets. Overlaps with Sauereisen's municipal wastewater and industrial protective coatings business but operates at significantly larger scale across multiple end markets.
• PPG Industries: Global Fortune 500 coatings manufacturer with broad industrial, aerospace, and protective coatings portfolios. Competes with Sauereisen in protective coatings for infrastructure and industrial customers but as part of a much larger diversified chemicals platform rather than a specialty focus.
