Anyone who has ever repaired joints and cracks in cement-based floors knows how much work it takes: stirring up the resin, weighing out the hardener according to the ambient temperature, mixing it in carefully, and then applying the material quickly. The new X-200 cartridge makes this step much easier. Component A (resin) and Component B (hardener) are already filled in the correct ratio. Using our cartridge gun and the static mixer, both components are reliably mixed and can be applied directly into the joint.

This offers several advantages. Dosage errors—which can lead to curing problems if too little or too much hardener is used—are eliminated. There is no need for weighing or mixing, and only as much material as is actually needed is mixed. This makes the cartridge particularly suitable for smaller renovation areas, touch-ups, and flexible use on the construction site.

High-quality surfaces are created where knowledge and practice come together. For this to succeed, installation instructions and product information must reach everyone who works with our systems—and not just in German.

OBTEGO has long been active internationally: Our products are installed in many countries, we collaborate with partners worldwide, and even here in Germany, teams often work in multiple languages. This is exactly where a feature comes in that many people aren’t even aware of yet. With OBTEGO AI, you can speak in 45 different languages and write in over 100 languages. The response will always be in the language you used to ask your question.

Whether via web chat on our website or in the OBTEGO AI app: As always, the content comes directly from our product database. Whether it’s substrate preparation, storage, or product properties, the expertise remains the same—only the language adapts.

This gives international partners direct access to product information, and in multilingual teams, everyone can retrieve information in the way that’s easiest for them.

Give it a try and ask OBTEGO AI your next question in the language you’re most comfortable with.

With the latest update, OBTEGO AI makes communicating via chat even easier. Three new quick access options and intelligent follow-up questions now guide you even more effectively to the right answer.

For many of our customers, OBTEGO AI has long been an indispensable tool when it comes to questions about surface protection, products, and applications. To help you resolve your inquiries even faster in the future, we’ve added three new quick access options to the chat window: “Order,” “My Product,” and “Top Questions.”

“Order” takes you directly to your order request without having to write out a long message first. “My Product” takes you straight to information about the OBTEGO product you’re using. And under “Top Questions,” you’ll find the questions we receive most frequently, along with the corresponding answers. One click is all it takes, and the conversation starts exactly where you need it to.

Another new feature is that after each answer, the OBTEGO AI suggests a relevant follow-up question as a Quick Chip. This helps you stay in the flow of the conversation, discover aspects you may not have even considered yet, and reach your goal faster with less typing.

With these updates, we’re consistently refining OBTEGO AI so it can support you even better in your day-to-day work. We encourage you to try out the new features for yourself right away. We look forward to your feedback.

Last week, Maxi-Baubedarf in Köthen hosted a customer event focused on surface protection for concrete surfaces. Using practical demonstration areas, visitors were able to get a sense of the wide range of ways concrete floors can be protected depending on the requirements—from simple silicate treatments to high-quality single-component hybrid sealants.

Another key topic of the demonstration was substrate preparation, particularly when renovating old floor coverings. Here, customers and technical advisors engaged in in-depth discussions about the correct procedures.

Good news for our professional users in the east: Maxi-Baubedarf will now carry selected OBTEGO products in stock. This means you’ll have even faster access to supplies locally. Feel free to contact the team at Maxi-Baubedarf directly—they’re here to assist you with advice and support.

Summer is drawing to a close, and a lot has happened at our location in Altheim.

We made a strong showing at the EPF in Feuchtwangen and enjoyed three successful days at the trade show. We also made our mark internationally: At World of Concrete Asia in Shanghai, we made exciting new connections and introduced OBTEGO to a new audience. In addition, we held several smaller in-house exhibitions where we were able to showcase our products and our team right on site.

A special milestone was the launch of our rebranding: “innovative surface protection” is becoming “NOT JUST SURFACE”—a new chapter for our brand identity that we’ll be rolling out step by step over the coming months.

There was also plenty to celebrate on a personal level: Two colleagues marked their 5-year company anniversaries, and two others celebrated milestone birthdays. Congratulations again to everyone! At the same time, we were able to expand our team with new faces who have been actively supporting us ever since.

And there’s also a lot in the pipeline on the product front: Several new developments are currently in the works—more on that as soon as the time is right.

A heartfelt thank you to our entire team for this eventful summer.

Since our seminars were very well attended last year, we would like to once again showcase our protective systems—ranging from industrial flooring to exposed concrete, screeds, terrazzo, and trowel-applied and leveling compounds—in person at our facility this year.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, we’ll demonstrate practical expertise in our application area and discuss all your questions and concerns with you—ideal for anyone looking to expand their own expertise and that of their employees.

Since space is limited for each seminar, please sign up for our waiting list now. The currently scheduled dates are November 25, December 2, and December 9. All dates are subject to sufficient enrollment and are yet to be finalized.

To do so, simply send us a message at info@obtego.com or call us at 08703 / 938440.

With our OBTEGO AI app, you can ask questions about our products at any time and get an immediate answer. We review these conversations regularly—and we’ll be featuring the most interesting ones here in the future. We’re kicking things off with our new “Asked About” section.

This time, a customer asked, “Which product is effective against salt?”

A question that sounds simple at first glance—but not all salt is the same. When it comes to concrete, we’re usually talking about de-icing salt, which is used on outdoor surfaces in the winter. Combined with frost, it takes a particularly heavy toll on concrete surfaces and is one of the most common causes of damage outdoors.

We have the perfect solution for exactly this situation: The combination of OBTEGO R-30 and R-400 is ideal for outdoor concrete surfaces or for generally improving resistance to frost and de-icing salt.

You can find all the information about our products at www.obtego.com. And if you have a question of your own: Just open the OBTEGO AI app—maybe your question will be featured here soon.

If you’ve been following our social media channels closely over the past few weeks or visited us at the EPF trade show in Feuchtwangen, you may have already noticed: OBTEGO has a new logo. The previous tagline, “innovative surface protection,” will be replaced by “NOT JUST SURFACE”—a slogan that captures even more clearly what we stand for. After all, our systems are anything but superficial.

The new logo has already been featured on our social media channels—and now it’s gradually being integrated into our entire brand identity. Step by step, we’re updating our company documents to reflect the new look.

We’re taking the biggest step with our website, which is currently undergoing a complete overhaul and will also feature the new design. However, this transition will take a while. We’re already looking forward to showing you the completely revamped OBTEGO soon.

From August 12 to 14, OBTEGO was represented at WOCA in Shanghai, China—together with our distribution partner Jörg Hüls and our colleague Martin Königer, who organized and managed our booth at the trade show.

The three days of the trade show were a complete success. From the very beginning, attendance was high, and we had numerous interesting conversations at our booth—both with existing contacts and with many new prospects who wanted to learn about our systems for protecting and enhancing concrete. Even though this year’s WOCA was smaller overall than in recent years, interest was noticeably high and the response was consistently positive.

What’s particularly nice is that many of these conversations are already leading to concrete projects. For example, as early as next week, a construction company will be creating a sample area using P-3 and R-405—a clear example of how quickly an initial contact at the trade show can turn into real-world projects.

An event like this thrives on the dedication of the local people. We would therefore like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Jörg Hüls and Martin Königer, who represented OBTEGO at WOCA with great dedication and passion. We are delighted by the many ideas we’ve gained from China and are eager to see what comes of the numerous discussions in the coming weeks.

From March 18 to May 29, you put our OBTEGO AI through its paces and provided us with plenty of feedback. After that, things moved at a rapid pace for us—many projects, trade shows, and topics have kept us quite busy over the past few months. That makes us all the more pleased to finally announce the winners of our beta test today.

First place goes to the tester with the most search queries during the testing phase. As a reward for their hard work, they’ll receive an additional 10% special discount on their next order.

The second winner was selected by random drawing from among the five most active testers and will receive a brand-new iPad.

A big thank you to everyone who participated. Your questions and feedback helped shape OBTEGO AI during this phase—and that’s exactly what makes it better today.
