EIFS & ETICS
Exterior Insulation Finishing System (EIFS), also known as External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS), is a multi-layered cladding system that provides insulation and waterproof surface for exterior walls to improve the insulation effect of buildings.
Descriptions
Cellulose ether for EIFS & ETICS
EIFS is composed of a heat insulation board as the primary material made of expanded polystyrene or mineral wool. It also contains an adhesive for bonding the insulating board to the substrate. It is then covered with a cement base coat with woven glass fiber reinforcement and a textured colored finish coat.
- Improved adhesive strength and flexibility
- Enhanced water retention and extended working time
- Optimized product consistency and rheology:
- Improve coating performance with excellent early strength
Gomez Cellulose Ether can be widely used for adhesive mortars and the embedding mortars in ETICS. It can make mortars have the appropriate consistency, not sagging, not sticky to the trowel in use, feel light and smooth during operation, easy to smear with interruption and maintain the finished patterns.
Benefit from the excellent water retention property, Gomez Cellulose Ether can ensure that workers have enough time to embed glass mesh cloth into the wet mortar to avoid peeling during plastering. Besides, it can improve workability and enhance bond strength.
EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems) and ETICS (external thermal insulating component systems) are proprietary, multi-layered exterior wall systems that are increasingly popular with:
• Architects for flexibility: colors, textures, shapes, designs.
• Building/home owners for stunning appearance.
• Builders for cost-effectiveness.
• Everyone for superior energy efficiency – reducing air infiltration by up to 55 percent compared with brick or wood construction.
• EIFS reduce air infiltration, stabilize the interior environment, and reduce energy consumption.
