Built for the Future: Our Commitment to Environmentally Safe & Compliant Products

In an age where sustainability, safety, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable, Sauereisen continues to lead the way with a portfolio of environmentally responsible materials for corrosion resistance, infrastructure rehabilitation, and industrial flooring. From renewable-resource content to VOC-free chemistry, Sauereisen offers high-performance materials without compromising environmental or human safety.

Here’s how Sauereisen products are meeting and exceeding today’s environmental standards.

BioPreferred Certification

ConoFlex 381, a flexible membrane used for corrosion-resistant lining systems, has earned the USDA BioPreferred® designation. This means it contains a high percentage of renewable materials, making it a smart choice for sustainability-focused projects.

Why it matters: This designation helps federal agencies and contractors meet bio-based purchasing goals and supports the shift toward greener construction materials.

Ideal for: Secondary containment, chemical-resistant linings, and environmental infrastructure.

NSF/ANSI 61 Certified

For potable water systems, product safety is paramount. ConoFlex 381.61 has been certified to NSF Standard 61, ensuring its suitability for use in systems that store, treat, or transport drinking water.

Why it matters: Certification provides assurance that the product does not leach harmful contaminants, making it safe for human water contact applications.

Ideal for: Water treatment plants, storage tanks, and distribution system linings.

No VOCs or HAPs

Environmental safety doesn’t stop at performance—it continues through the application process. SewerGard, ConoGlaze, FibreCrete, and ConoCrete epoxy linings are 100% solids epoxy products formulated without VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) or HAPs (Hazardous Air Pollutants).

Why it matters: Products with zero VOCs support cleaner air quality, safer working conditions, and regulatory compliance with air quality mandates—especially critical in confined spaces like manholes and vaults.

Ideal for: Municipal wastewater systems, food plants, and industrial floors.

USDA-Compliant for Food Facilities

ConoCrete industrial flooring systems and ConoGlaze coatings meet the stringent requirements for use in USDA-regulated facilities, such as federally inspected meat and poultry plants.

Why it matters: Compliance ensures that these materials are safe for environments where sanitation, hygiene, and chemical resistance are critical.

Ideal for: Food and beverage processing, commercial kitchens, and cold storage facilities.

Asbestos-Free Since Day One

Unlike many legacy products, Sauereisen’s inorganic formulations have always been asbestos-free… Long before regulatory bans came into effect.

Some of our asbestos-free products include:

Why it matters: This proactive stance reflects Sauereisen’s longstanding commitment to occupational health and safety while delivering high-performance refractory and structural systems.

Whether you’re designing for industrial infrastructure, municipal utilities, or food-grade and potable water environments, Sauereisen has a solution that aligns with your performance, compliance, and sustainability goals. With a track record of innovation and responsibility, Sauereisen helps clients build infrastructure that lasts—without compromising the planet or public health.
