A common challenge for builders during construction work is how to reliably seal structural and expansion joints in facades, roofs or walkways. We offer a professional, high-quality and advanced solution – “ Fome Flex ROOF & FAÇADE” sealant. „Fome Flex ROOF & FAÇADE“ – a new generation, low-modulus, premium hybrid sealant – forms an extremely elastic and durable seam on commonly used building materials. Learn more about why this technology is unrivalled in the market.

„Fome Flex ROOF & FAÇADE“ is our next-generation hybrid sealant featuring advanced and innovative technology based on a revolutionary principle.

Hybrid sealants cure with moisture in the air and they are designed to be more elastic and mechanically more durable than traditional products. “Fome Flex ROOF & FAÇADE” is also more resistant to temperature and weather fluctuations, resulting in a longer service life. It is also completely environmentally and health friendly, and is almost odorless.

These hybrid sealants are unique not only in their properties, but also in their versatility. They seal structural and expansion joints in facades, roofs and walkways on commonly used building materials. „Fome Flex ROOF & FAÇADE“ is therefore the perfect choice for concrete, brickwork, painted wood, enamel, aluminum, stainless steel and various plastic surfaces.

By forming a highly elastic and durable seam on these materials, hybrid sealants cure without bubbles. They are also free of isocyanates, solvents and silicones, suitable for wider joints, with high mechanical resistance and strong initial adhesion.

“Fome Flex ROOF & FAÇADE is also unique due to its zero settling. This product has excellent primer-free adhesion to most surfaces, even wet ones. Hybrid sealants are easy to apply and have a cure rate of 2-3 mm per day.

The products are simple and standard to use. The first step is to clean and degrease all surfaces. Next, cut off the top of the cartouche or foil packet and screw on the nozzle supplied with the cartouche.

The next step is to insert the cartouche or foil pack into the syringe gun and squeeze the trigger of the gun several times to fill the nozzle with sealant. The seam depth to width ratio for seams up to 10 mm is 1:1. Minimum width and depth is 5 mm. For a joint wider than 10 mm, the depth is the width divided by 3 plus 6 mm. The maximum width of the joint shall be up to 40 mm.

We are offering five different hybrid sealants in its range. “Fome Flex ROOF & FAÇADE” is available in clear, white, grey, black and anthracite.

All these products are certified with CE certification and other important certifications recognized in the construction market:

For these reasons, “Fome Flex HYBRID ROOF&FAÇADE” is unrivalled in the market as a new-generation, low-modulus, premium hybrid sealant. For those who are looking for a reliable, high quality and intelligent joint sealing solution, this product will exceed all expectations.

Insulating complex shapes, uneven, cylindrical, convex or polygonal surfaces, or hard-to-reach areas can be a difficult and challenging task. We offer an easy, effective and intelligent solution with our unique product – GUDFOR A++. It is developed in collaboration with building professionals around the world. GUDFOR A++ is an innovative single component polyurethane spray-on thermal insulation. What makes this solution unique? What are its advantages and potential applications?

GUDFOR A++ innovative spray-on single component polyurethane thermal insulation outperforms its competitors in many ways.

First, it is capable of strong adhesion to most building materials, such as wood, concrete, masonry, glass, PVC, bricks, plasterboard, EPS and XPS, tiles, and most plastics (other than Teflon and polyethylene). The product’s fast-curing components form a layer that prevents loss of heat and the penetration of air and moisture. Once fully cured, GUDFOR A++ thermal insulation can be cut, sanded, puttied, plastered and painted. These features make it one of the fastest and most effective solutions for thermal bridges, moisture and wind insulation.

Developed from single component polyurethane, which is rapidly growing in popularity in the international building industry, GUDFOR A++ thermal insulation has a very high application potential. It can be used to insulate walls, roofs, attics, facades, foundations and balconies of residential and commercial buildings. It is also suited for thermal insulation of vans, enclosed trailers, refrigerated trucks, pipelines, various tanks, wells and baths, while it can both insulate and seal communication system inlets.

GUDFOR A++ has stronger adhesion to most building materials and a higher yield of 2.5 per square metre in comparison to competing products in its category. It has a thermal conductivity of 0.033 W/mK and a second coat of the product can be applied after 20 minutes. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, GUDFOR A++ is ideal for eliminating thermal bridges and dew points.

Another unique feature of GUDFOR A++ is its convenience and ease of use. To achieve the product’s full potential, it is advised to prepare working surfaces by wiping them to remove dust, dirt and grease and then spray the working surfaces to moisten them.

Shake the bottle of GUDFOR A++, screw the gun in place and attach the relevant nozzle included in the kit on top of it. Nozzle A is for vertical surfaces and Nozzle B is for ceilings.

When the gun valve is fully open, it is recommended to spray the product on the surface from a distance of 30-45 cm, with the gun trigger fully depressed. The spray layer should be no thicker than 3-5 cm. At that point, an additional coat can be applied after 20 minutes.

Shake the bottle periodically, preferably with the gun. Once the surface has been coated, moisten the insulation material by spraying water. The ambient operating temperature is +5 °C to +35 °C and the recommended operating temperature for the bottle is +18 °C to +25 °C. The product fully sets within one day.

Following these instructions will ensure the best professional results for insulation and building finishing. All you need is the unique and innovative product GUDFOR A++, an advanced technology spray-on single component polyurethane thermal insulation.

On 24 August 2023, a mandatory training requirement was established for all industrial and professional users of polyurethane foams, adhesives and sealants with a total monomeric diisocyanate concentration of more than 0.1%. For those who have not yet completed this training, Tegra state is providing free access to POINT, FOME FLEX, GUDFOR, Pplus product customers to do so without waiting so they can continue their work safely.

This training platform was developed by FEICA in collaboration with ISOPA, ALIPA, the diisocyanate industry associations, and is available in different EU languages. You can find it here.

Access code for the training: FEICA_21_C7.

If you need more detailed training, please contact us at +370 615 42161

All professionals who complete the training and pass the test will receive a certificate valid for five years, allowing them to maintain their safety and achieve the best results with PU foam.

To ensure the safe use of isocyanates, this training programme covers a wide range of topics, including the health effects of isocyanates, the use of appropriate protective equipment, and many other relevant issues. The training programme is also in line with the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) Regulation.

Even after completing this mandatory training and working with polyurethane products, it is important to:

• Work only in well-ventilated areas to minimise exposure to isocyanates
• Wear gloves, goggles and other protective equipment- Store the products in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight and heat
• Comply with the manufacturer’s technical and safety requirements
