The Intellathane brand is engineered specifically for vehicles and equipment used in rough service applications, where more traditional coatings often fail due to corrosion, abrasion, and repeated impacts,” said Kevin Wiacek, Product Marketing Manager of Carlisle Polyurethane Systems. “These harsh operating conditions often require owners to replace their equipment too frequently. The new Intellathane brand gives equipment manufacturers a comprehensive portfolio of protective coatings that not only improves the long-term appearance of their products, but also extends the service life. The R&D team considered many variables during product development to ensure long-term adhesion and protection to a wide variety of substrates, types of impacts experienced, the weather conditions they operate in, and possible chemical exposures.”

“One of the hallmarks of the Carlisle Polyurethane Systems brand is our commitment to the highest levels of polymer science and technical innovation, which are made possible through R&D initiatives rooted in decades of advanced technology development,” said Bill Brengel, Vice President and General Manager of Carlisle Polyurethane Systems. “Our world-class chemists have helped to establish new performance standards for elastomer coatings used in the industrial sector. With the introduction of our updated and expanded Intellathane product line, we continue to offer innovative solutions that keep exterior surfaces and equipment safe in severe weather and other unforgiving conditions.

Accella Proudly Selected for USS Arizona Mall Memorial at University of Arizona.

Accella Proudly Selected for USS Arizona Mall Memorial at University of Arizona.

ST. LOUIS, MO — Dec 7, 2016 — Accella Performance Materials is very proud to be selected to support the unique architectural design of the USS Arizona Mall Memorial located on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson, AZ. The Mall Memorial, which was dedicated on December 4, 2016, is an open-space design situated on the grassy university mall area in front of the university’s historic Old Main building. The special design includes a full-scale deck outline, made with specialty materials provided by Accella, of the iconic U.S. battleship that was sunk at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941- a date which will “live in infamy” as described by then-President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

The USS Arizona Mall Memorial honors the 1,177 fallen heroes who died on the USS Arizona, and it calls upon future generations to reflect and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. A curving brick wall garden, representing the ship’s bridge, cut across the campus mall near the midpoint of the ship’s outline and on top of the brick walls, panels hold brass medallions with the names of the 1,177 men who died, one medallion for each crew member.

The ship’s outline is distinctively made of Accella materials traditionally used for outdoor athletic surfaces, similar to sport tracks, to support the creative architectural design by David Carter. This 97 foot wide and 597 foot long curving 6-inch rubberized curb outlines the ship’s deck on the grass mall using custom colored red EPDM granules to match the bricks combined with a durable athletic surface polyurethane binder, both provided by Accella. The Accella sport surface materials were selected for the unique aesthetics they bring to David Carter’s design, as well as providing a durable, safe surface in one of the highest traffic and visible areas on the University of Arizona campus.

“We could not be more proud to support this meaningful memorial and that Accella’s athletic surface materials were chosen as an integral part of this unique design,” said Andy Harris, President and CEO of Accella Performance Materials. “We utilized our custom color capabilities associated with our polyurethane/EPDM sport surface products to create a surfacing result that will be a lasting and durable element of the tribute to the fallen who served on the USS Arizona. We are deeply moved to honor our veterans and those who died on the USS Arizona. Accella has many employees who are veterans and/or children of World War II veterans, and we are profoundly honored to be a part of this very special project.”

Accella, a leader in materials for indoor and outdoor sport and safety surfaces, teamed with Hellas Construction, a leader in track and sports construction, to install the rubberized surface as the outline of the USS Arizona. “We are honored to be selected to support this important memorial project. This was a detailed and one-of-a-kind project that we are very proud of, in honor of our armed forces and those who make the ultimate sacrifice,” stated Bob Allison, vice president of Hellas.

Accella Tru- Motion PP™: Indoor Multi-Purpose Athletic Pad and Pour Surface Receive FloorScore® Certification.

ST. LOUIS, MO — November 15, 2016 – Accella Polyurethane Systems LLC (“Accella”), a leading manufacturer of polyurethane systems, announces that Tru-Motion PPTM: Indoor Multi-Purpose Athletic Pad and Pour surface has received FloorScore® certification. FloorScore® was developed by the RFCI (Resilient Floor Covering Institute) in combination with Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) to create a strict standard around indoor air quality and flooring. To qualify, products must pass the California Department of Public Health section 01350 standard testing for VOC emissions from indoor sources. SCS provides 3rd party certification on this testing in conjunction with a detailed audit of the manufacturing facility. This ensures the facility has proper historical record keeping and quality control measures in place. FloorScore® is qualified for many green building certifications including LEED v4, BREEAM, and CHPS. Tru-Motion PPTM and all its component parts received registration number SCS-FS-04177 from SCS Global Services.

“We’ve brought together industry leading technical composition expertise in polyurethane binder and custom colored rubber crumb, all manufactured at Accella companies and packaged as the Tru-Motion Brand offering one-stop-shop value to our customers,” said Al Restaino, Vice President of Marketing. “We are committed to developing products and solutions to exceed the industry standard for health, safety and sustainability.”

Tru-Motion PPTM, an indoor polyurethane athletic surface, is a durable, long lasting alternative to traditional wood gym floors. Through a unique combination of materials, this system is designed to provide the highest levels of athletic performance and athlete safety as well as great aesthetics. From the adhesive to the game line paint, all components are environmentally friendly without sacrificing durability and ease of maintenance. This product system is made up of 64% post-consumer recycled content when used with Accella’s Ultimate RB base-mat.

“This FloorScore certification is the first initiative of a number of ongoing projects for Tru-Motion PP as one of our most sustainable and healthy product lines,” explains Bob Cunningham, Vice President Technology & Innovation, Accella Performance Materials. “In addition to meeting the California standards for low emitting materials, the polyurethane technology is made with a bio-based polyol that is rapidly renewable, having a limited impact on the eco-system. Keep an eye out for more on this in the coming months.”
