Munich, March 03, 2025– Baerlocher, one of the leading suppliers of additives for the construction industry, will showcase it´s innovative hydrophobic agent solutions at the European Coatings Show (ECS) 2025. The trade show takes place in Nuremberg, Germany, from March 25 to 27. Visitors to the ECS can find out more about the company's leading hydrophobic agents at Baerlocher's stand 1-612 in Hall 1.

Baerlocher is one of the leading suppliers of sustainable and highly effective hydrophobic agents. Under the brand name BAEROPHOB, the company offers such hydrophobic agents for a wide range of applications. In particular, they improve the durability of building materials that are exposed to harsh weather conditions.

The additives are mainly used in cementitious systems and are an integral part of dry plasters, pasty plasters/paints, paving stones and more. Baerlocher products are compatible with building materials such as lime, cement, gypsum and wood.

The Baerophob range is based on renewable raw materials and offers an alternative to fossil and energy-intensive products. Notably, they are silicone- and paraffin-free. Thanks to their excellent dispersion in building materials, they are highly effective and achieve both immediate and long-lasting hydrophobic effects.

In addition to traditional hydrophobic agents such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium and aluminum stearates, Baerlocher offers an all-round product portfolio. The products combine the advantages of both reactive and non-reactive water repellents.

Baerlocher's BAEROPHOB ECO CM/1, for example, is an alkaline/earth soap that is highly effective even at low dosages. This makes it a cost-effective solution for dry mortar applications.

Advantages of Baerlocher products:

· Reducing complexity by offering all-rounder solutions

· Improving the durability of systems

· Reducing the frequency of renovation and the associated costs

· Low dosage requirements for cost-efficient use

· Full technical support and customized application work

The experts from Baerlocher will explain to visitors attending the European Coatings Show 2025 in Hall 1, Stand 1-612, how the company's benchmark hydrophobic agents are shaping the future of the construction industry.
