Development, production and sales from a single source
Innovative technologies allow us a high degree of flexibility
Universal and special are no contradiction for us
We are passionate about passive fire protection
We meet the challenges of fire protection
“The gaps must be filled” – a simple but difficult to implement requirement in thermal insulation and fire protection and the starting point for the development of Vatral insulation and fire protection mortars.
Whether in the air, on the water or on the ground – Vatral® mortars enable new, more effective solutions for fire protection and the insulation of industrial plants, ships or building construction.
We meet the challenges of fire protection and thermal insulation with new innovative products and constructive solutions. Vatral® mortars and their molded parts can be used to create load-bearing insulation that is free of thermal bridges, making it possible to achieve low insulation thicknesses even in areas that are difficult to insulate.
Our own laboratories and cooperation with universities and colleges enable us to support you in your tasks with new solutions.
“The potential for optimizing insulation for industrial systems was and is far from exhausted.”

Unique thermal insulation thanks to the glass sphere matrix
VATRAL® mortars are lightweight mortars consisting of a fiber matrix, ceramic and nano-based, inorganic hybrid binders and mineral micro-lightweight fillers. The mortar complies with legal requirements and can withstand temperatures of up to approx. 1100 degrees Celsius, depending on its composition.
Because real innovation must be sustainable
In today’s world, sustainability is a key issue that affects both private individuals and companies alike. The building materials we use play a particularly important role here. Insulation materials with a Material Health Certificate are an excellent example of sustainable building materials that not only make our buildings more efficient, but also protect the health of the occupants and the environment.
What is a Material Health Certificate?
A Material Health Certificate (MHC) is a certificate that confirms the health and ecological properties of a product. It is awarded according to strict criteria and takes into account the entire supply chain of a product – from the extraction of raw materials to production and disposal. The aim is to promote products that are free from harmful substances and have a positive environmental balance.
The Cradle2Cradle Material Health certification gives us the certainty that there is no health risk to our employees in the manufacture of our products.
We are researching today for a safe tomorrow
How it all began: The Vatral® mortar
VATRAL® mortar was initially applied both as a first insulation layer before sheathing with glass or rock wool, but also as a full-surface solution for shapes that were otherwise difficult to insulate, such as boilers with external heating coils. This was followed by projects in industry, shipbuilding and building construction. The navy also used the special properties of Vatral mortar to smooth or fill cavities, imperfections or uneven material.
Further development as a ZIM project
In addition to its use as mortar, the market soon generated demand for sheet products, pipe shells and various molded parts. Sheet goods could be implemented quickly, whereas the low-cost production of pipe shells and fittings did not seem feasible at first. As part of a ZIM project, a core shooter was used to fill fabric mats with dried granules made from Vatral mortars. This gave rise to the idea of producing pipe shells directly from the Vatral mortar using the core shooting process.
We continue our research
After three years of intensive technical development, HSMC is now able to produce pipe shells and molded parts on an industrial scale at standard market prices.
The aim for the future is to transfer the potential of production techniques to our high-temperature insulation materials in order to further reduce production costs and to utilize the wide range of possibilities for fire protection in the SP product line, also in combination with DIN EN 13381-4.
