Vetotherm Fix

Cementitious based adhesive for EIFS / ETICS.

Vetotherm Fix is a professional grade cement based adhesive designed to adhere and fix heat insulation boards mainly expanded polystyrene EPS, extruded polystyrene XPS and rockwool . Vetotherm Fix is composed of a blend of cement, carefully selected aggregates, special additives, and polymers. Vetotherm fix can be used on different types of substrates like CMUs and old / new concrete. 

Uses

  • As primary adhesive to fix expanded and extruded polystyrene (EPS & XPS) on substrates. 
  • As primary adhesive to fix rockwool and glass wool insulation boards on substrates. 

Advantages

  • Easy to apply, a single component product. 
  • Highly deformable. 
  • High bond strength. 
  • Suitable for use with underfloor heating systems. 

Usage Instructions

The substrate should be sound, clean, free from loose material, grease, laitance, dirt, curing compound, or any other substance that might impair bond quality with the substrate. 

Concrete, hollow blocks, and cement-based substrates must be sufficiently cured and irrigated by water 1hour before application. The surface should appear damp with no water pooling. 

For the preparation of mortar adhesive, pour into a container 6.25-8.25 liters of water for each 25Kg bag of Vetotherm Fix. 

Add the powder to the water and mix for 3-4 minutes using a low- speed electric drill fitted with a suitable paddle until achieving a uniform, lump-free consistency. Allow the mixed material to stand for about 5 minutes and remix briefly without adding further water. 

On the backside of the insulation board, apply the Vetotherm Fix mixture. Use a suitable notched trowel to spread the mixture on the whole surface. 

Immediately after the Vetotherm Fix application on the board, fix the board to the substrate by pressing it firmly and leveling it. Ensure applying 2 to 6 mm adhesive layer thickness with full coverage. 

Do not allow the adhesive mix to form a skin before positioning the insulation board on the substrate, as it will affect the bond performance. 

Clean all tools immediately after finishing with water. Clean hardened materials mechanically.
