What it is
The PLASTOTHERM CA-10 ETICS adhesive skim coat from Colorificio Adriatico is the professional solution for external thermal insulation composite systems, designed to ensure secure adhesion and a uniform finish on thermal insulation boards. Ideal for building applicators and refurbishment contractors who require reliable performance in ETICS applications (article code: see data sheet).
An external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) is the combination of insulation boards, adhesive and base-coat mortars, profiles, accessories and finishes applied to walls to reduce heat loss.
What it is for
Used for structural and assembly bonding, for thermal insulation of walls, roofs and pipework and for skimming surfaces before finishing.
How to use it
Fix the starter track level at the bottom, bond the boards to the clean, flat substrate with staggered joints and, once the adhesive has set, anchor them with insulation fixings where required. Fit corner beads and drip profiles, apply the base coat embedding the glass-fibre mesh, and apply the finish. Work within the temperature and humidity limits stated by the manufacturer, protecting fresh work from direct sunlight and rain.
