About Sopro Bauchemie
Sopro Bauchemie GmbH, headquartered in Wiesbaden, develops, produces and markets construction chemical products and system solutions for the trades of tile and natural stone installation, screed work, plaster and filler work, waterproofing, masonry construction as well as landscaping. The product range includes tile and natural stone adhesives, grout mortars and joint sealants, self-levelling fillers, primers and bonding bridges, bonded waterproofing membranes, XPS construction panels, screeds, bitumen-based structural waterproofing, rapid-setting cements, grouting mortars and concrete repair products. Used materials include cement binders with polymer modification, synthetic resins, epoxy resins, polyurethanes, silicones as well as polymer-modified bitumen and extruded polystyrene (XPS). The company was founded in 1985 by bundling the fine-mortar activities of Dyckerhoff AG and has been part of the Mapei Group since 2002. Production takes place at the Wiesbaden, Augustdorf (bitumen products), Feldbach (Austria) and Nowiny (Poland) sites. In addition to manufacturing, Sopro offers application technology consulting, planner and project consulting, DGNB sustainability consulting as well as training courses at its own ProfiAkademie.

Materials & Processes
Cement binders
Basis for flexible adhesives, grout mortars, fillers, screeds, rapid-setting cements and concrete repair products.
Polymer modification (polymer dispersion)
Increases deformability and adhesion of cementitious systems, e.g. in S1 flexible adhesives.
2-component epoxy resin
Used in epoxy grout mortars, epoxy adhesives and floor coatings.
Polyurethane
Basis for surface waterproofing membranes and PU adhesives in composite systems.
Polymer-modified bitumen
Foundation for bitumen thick coatings and cold self-adhesive waterproofing membranes for structural waterproofing.
Extruded polystyrene (XPS)
Material for XPS construction panels and shower elements.
Solvent-free synthetic resins
Used in primers, bonding bridges and floor coatings.
Neutral-curing silicones
Joint sealants for wet and damp areas, including swimming pool construction.
Quartz sand (aggregate)
Aggregate in mortar systems and modified primers.
