Polysols

What Polysols does

Polysols is a privately held, 100% American-owned manufacturer of industrial-grade non-woven polyester solutions headquartered in a single Spartanburg, South Carolina facility. Founded in 2009, the company produces three core product categories: temporary surface protection rolls (Vapor Surface Protection, Premium Surface Protection, and Vapor Lite), artificial turf seam tape (with and without moisture barrier variants), and the Sound Silent 7 acoustical underlayment. Underlying technology centers on heat-bonded non-woven fiber construction, proprietary pressure-sensitive adhesive formulations engineered to hold for up to 60 days without residue, breathable moisture-wicking architectures, and 2-in-1 vapor barrier + acoustic foam cores rated STC 66 / IIC 72.

The business model is direct-to-buyer manufacturer-to-contractor, bypassing distributor warehouses. Products are listed at $0.20-$0.36 per square foot with volume tiers up to 60+ units, sold through polysols.com e-commerce and phone sales from a Spartanburg team. Target segments include commercial contractors, residential contractors, turf installers, multi-family developers, and service professionals. Differentiators are positioned as ASTM/IIC certified performance, same-day shipping on in-stock items, and 30%+ cost savings versus distributor-sourced equivalents. Adjacent offerings include custom-branded/private-label rolls and raw polyester nonwoven stock for industrial buyers. The company has accumulated 3M+ square feet of protected surfaces and references European projects (Austria, Switzerland) for its underlayment line.
