Universal Application for All Popular Insulation Materials
Baumit ProContact Gel has been developed for use with a wide range of thermal insulation materials. It is suitable for bonding and reinforcing expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), mineral wool, rock wool, glass wool, and polyurethane insulation boards. This versatility allows a single product to be used across different facade insulation systems and construction projects.
In addition to thermal insulation applications, the compound can also be used for skim coating sound mineral substrates such as concrete and cement-based renders. Thanks to its excellent bonding properties, it can serve as a reliable bonding bridge on smooth concrete surfaces before the application of subsequent finishing layers.
Innovative Gel Technology for Easier Application and Higher Efficiency
One of the key advantages of Baumit ProContact Gel is its advanced gel technology, which significantly improves the product's working properties. The resulting mortar is easy to mix, highly workable, and allows precise application by hand or machine.
The gel technology ensures optimal material distribution on the substrate and improves contact between the adhesive and the insulation board. This results in stronger bonding performance and greater reliability of the facade insulation system. At the same time, it facilitates the treatment of large surface areas and increases overall productivity on site.
Excellent Adhesion and Long-Term Durability
ProContact Gel is based on high-quality cement, selected mineral fillers, organic binders, and specialized additives. This carefully balanced composition ensures outstanding adhesion to a variety of construction substrates and insulation materials.
The product is hydrophobized, meaning it provides increased resistance to moisture penetration. This is particularly important in facade applications where weather conditions can significantly affect the longevity of the insulation system. Thanks to its advanced properties, Baumit ProContact Gel delivers reliable protection and stability throughout the entire service life of the facade.
Suitable for Bonding and Reinforcement in One System
The product performs two essential functions: high-strength bonding of insulation boards and the creation of a reinforced base coat with fiberglass mesh. This allows construction professionals to optimize the installation process by using a single reliable material for multiple critical stages of the facade system.
When used for reinforcement, ProContact Gel ensures secure embedding of fiberglass mesh and creates a strong substrate for decorative facade finishes. The resulting layer provides excellent mechanical resistance and effective protection against cracking.
