40+Years of expertise
Built on experience

From a craft business to building chemistry.

Since 1898, we have been united by one ambition: to solve practical challenges with well-designed solutions.

1898

Master painter Heinrich Müller founds the company, focusing on bespoke furniture and church decorations.

1970s

Development and manufacture of our own materials – swellable casting compounds, injection resins and gels.

1988

Entire focus on the development and production of building chemistry products.

1997

Based in Bobenheim-Roxheim, combining experience in application with our own development and manufacturing.

Today

In our fourth generation, we develop and manufacture specialist construction chemicals for waterproofing, injection and coating.

“
Every structure and waterproofing task has its own specific requirements. We therefore believe in providing tailored solutions.

Signature Technologies

Our innovative technologies set new standards for durable structural waterproofing:

01Adaptive Swelling Technology
02Deep Penetration Injection (DPI)
03Foam-Free Water Stoppage
01 · Technology

Adaptive Swelling

HydroBloc 575 Integral
120% in 72 h
Active swelling upon contact with water

When it comes into contact with water, the material swells adaptively, actively compensating for changes in crack and joint cross-sections. Without water: back to the initial size.

02 · Technology

Deep Penetration Injection

HydroBloc 575 Integral
0 foam · 0 pores
Sealing deep inside

From the injection point to the leak, the resin fills the interconnected cracks, pores and honeycombing within the structure. It uses water as a transport medium to reach even fine structures, forming a homogeneous, elastic seal.

03 · Technology

Foam-Free Water Stoppage

HydroBloc Rapid 570
120 s
No foam. No pores.

Stops severe water ingress and cures into highly elastic, tear-resistant injection rubber. Rapid Cream is not diluted even in strong, pressurized water flow. Adaptive swelling up to +80 %.

HydroBloc Integral
Integralbrilliantly simple.

Ready-to-use injection resins that react only within the structure, eliminating the need for mixing and the associated pot life issues.

Ready to use

No measuring or mixing required.

Reacts in the structure

It only reacts within the structure where sealing is needed.

No pot life

Work flexibly with no pot life dependent on mixing.

Less cleaning

The resin can remain in the pump throughout the working day.
