Hydrocal® B-11

Hydrocal® B-11® Cement is a high-performance gypsum-based adhesive designed for use with FOAMGLAS® insulation in high-temperature applications. This noncombustible, inorganic cement forms a durable bond for shaping, filling, and coating FOAMGLAS® insulation for reliable thermal protection. It is typically applied in environments above 93°C (200°F) and for other specialized uses where secure, stable insulation bonding is required.
