CARLISLE Construction Materials Ltd. CARLISLE Hardcast Europe B.V. HARDCAST industry tapes and sealants provide a solution for virtually every sealing problem. They do not only protect buildings from water, but also make them impervious to air and vapour for more energy efficiency and living comfort. We produce and supply a complete range of industrial adhesives, mainly tapes but also sealants and primers. Research, development and production take place entirely in-house, enabling us to provide our customers with optimum quality and design at the best possible price. Additionally, we can supply tailor-made products for special projects. CARLISLE CM Europe looks back on a long tradition as a leading supplier of EPDM. Many of the European companies began operations in the 19th century as rubber-processing firms and are today recognised specialists for technically high-quality elastomer products for waterproofing flat roofs, façades and ground-reaching building units. Revenues for the corporate group today amount to more than 100 million euros. Our 350 colleagues do their utmost each and every day to inspire our customers with the best products and the best consulting service. The strong European umbrella brand and the partnership with the US parent company ensure our sustained success into the future. BACKINGS: HARDCAST tapes can be produced with almost any backing in multiple colours: THICKNESS: HARDCAST tapes can be produced in thicknesses of 0,3 mm to 3 mm.

3 Products Product Range Custom Tapes The HARDCAST product lines reflect our more than 35 years experience in the adhesive and sealants business. Before 1978, HARDCAST products were manufactured in Wylie, Texas / USA. In 1998, the company joined the CARLISLE group and was able to develop into the international specialist it is today. BUTYL TAPES BITUMEN TAPES CLOTH TAPES PRIMERS BUTYL STRIPES SEALANTS ALUMINUM TAPES Self-adhesive sealing tapes with an adhesive butyl layer. Available with different backings: aluminium (several different colours), polyethylene, polyester, non-woven, paper or any other laminate. Available in one- or double-sided tapes. HARDCAST butyl tapes are highly air- and water-tight; have an aggressive initial tack and a remarkable durability. Self-adhesive bitumen tapes known from DIY shops; excellent water and moisture barriers. Aluminium backing in various colours; also other carriers or backings are available when a high tear resistance is required. Adheres on most substrates such as metal, stone, concrete and wood. These are known under various names: duct tapes, gaffer tapes or textile tapes. We offer a comprehensive range in diverse quality levels, colours, sizes and price levels to perfectly match your needs. A healthy stock position means prompt delivery of these products. It may be necessary to treat porous substrates just before application of the tape. CCM HARDCAST has several primers available for this purpose. CCM HARDCAST primers are specially adjusted to fit with our range of adhesive tapes and are available in thick viscous or thin liquids. Flexible sealant tapes on rolls. Available in various sizes, widths and thicknesses. These sealants are applied to seal foils and irregular openings or chinks; they have a remarkable durability. Taking into consideration the specific problems of air duct sealing we developed a complete range of sealants. Waterbased or solventbased with our range of products available in various pack sizes from cartridges to 25 kg bundles, we offer a solution to any application. Tapes composed of acrylic or rubber adhesive. Aluminium with thicknesses ranging from 25 mµ to 100 mµ. Mainly used to seal insulation material aggressive initial tack, reflecting heat and light in an excellent way. Many different tapes are available on the market, with estimates ranging from 200 to 400 different varieties. Tapes may be classified according to construction, function or use. According to their method of production, they may be subdivided into the following categories: fabric tapes paper tapes film tapes foil tapes non-woven fabric tapes reinforced tapes foam tapes double-face tapes transfer tapes. As it is obvious from the preceding list, the backing, rather than the adhesive, provides the main distinction between various tapes. So the PSA tapes consist of two components: backing and adhesive. The purpose of the adhesive is to secure the backing to another surface in order to perform its specific function. Very important and mostly decisive for the right choice is to know the properties of the available backings, not only their advantages but also their disadvantages. Applications HVAC INDUSTRY AUTOMOTIVE CATALYSTS CONSTRUCTION OIL AND PIPE INDUSTRY DIY To ensure an optimal and economic air circulation in a galvanised air duct it is necessary to have a durable sealing of the joints. Even a small percentage of lost air could result in a high decrease of pressure in the ventilation system seriously affecting its efficiency. The tapes often have to seal the joint between the tube (flexible part) and duct (fixed part) and also have to compensate possible irregularities of a tube-clip. The tapes should also be resistant to a high and constant static or dynamic air pressure, endure large fluctuations of temperature and have a long service life. A complicated application which can only be fulfilled by specially designed products. The use of adhesive tapes in the industry is extremely diverse. The HARDCAST products meet almost any regular quality specification or approval as required in the relevant industry branch. Besides standard sizes and colours, deviating (custom-made) products can be supplied. In close cooperation with the automotive industry, CARLISLE developed sound absorbing HARDCAST adhesives. The products are often specified and meet almost all ASTM. For catalyst production, we can supply stable, self-adhesive bitumen and butyl rolls. With our flexible machine park, all kinds of windings, single or bulk packaging can be realised. Especially in this industry we can produce the rolls that match your need! Contractors and building supervisors frequently use HARDCAST products. Common applications of our product range are the sealing of joints between window frames and concrete (or brick) or secondary wind and waterproof sealing in façades. The products are optionally available with a pre-slit release liner to reduce labour time substantially. Or as a secondary wind & waterproof seal in façades. We manufacture products especially designed for the sealing of concrete joints. In roofing, our bitumen tapes are among others suitable for gutter and joint repair, chimney counter flashing, edge flashing and waterproof sealing prior to tile work. CARLISLE provides various HARDCAST systems for pipe insulations, traditional primers, two-ply and three-ply systems as well as mono tapes and primer tapes. Also in this industry, we can supply products especially suited for a specific project. Another well-known product of our range are aluminium-butyl tapes for pipe insulations. Like all of our products these can be manufactured in different sizes and thicknesses. Although our adhesives and sealants are primarily used in the commercial sector, they are designed for easy use and therefore perfectly suited for DIY.
