Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Bonded Logic brings to Carlisle a manufacturing presence in both Arizona and Georgia. The acquisition adds Henry UltraTouch, a natural fiber insulation product made from recycled blue jeans, to Carlisle's growing line of building envelope solutions. With an 80% recycled content composition, UltraTouch has earned attention for diverting millions of pounds of post-consumer textile waste from landfills annually—approximately 20 million pounds per year, equivalent to over 500,000 pairs of jeans each month.
The denim feedstock is sourced through a long-term partnership with Cotton Incorporated’s Blue Jeans Go Green recycling initiative. After hardware removal and fiber processing, the recycled denim is formed into insulation batts suitable for wall cavities and other applications, including soundproofing and thermal shipping liners.
Carlisle highlighted UltraTouch’s installer-friendly features—particularly its safer handling compared to fiberglass, which can release irritating particulates. The denim-based insulation also delivers strong acoustic and thermal performance, aligning with modern building codes and increasing demand for greener construction materials.
The acquisition of Bonded Logic reflects Carlisle’s continued transition toward a more focused building products company, matching their broader strategy to support the company’s net-zero greenhouse gas goals by 2050.
Bonded Logic’s denim-based insulation complements Carlisle’s existing lineup in roofing, waterproofing, and weatherproofing systems sold through its Construction Materials and Weatherproofing Technologies divisions. By incorporating a natural fiber insulation product with a distinct sustainability angle, it addresses increasing demand from developers, architects, and property owners for solutions that reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
As regulatory pressures and market preferences shift toward high-efficiency, low-impact materials, products like UltraTouch offer builders a way to meet environmental expectations while improving the jobsite experience.
