eXterior insulation and FinisH
systems – ConserVing your energy
The finite energy resources of the
world are slowly running out. And as
the search for renewable sources
continues, the cost of energy continues
to rise. One of the most efficient
ways to save energy in buildings is
by thermal insulation. The better the
insulation the lower the running costs

VinnaPas ® standard ProduCts
For insulation systems to function
properly they have to bond well to the
substrate. Adhesive mortar modified
with VINNAPAS ® polymer powders has
three functions within this sandwich.
First, it creates a stable bond between
the insulation board and the wall.
Second, it levels out irregularities of
the substrate.

and VINNAPAS ® LL 4042 H polymer
powders are based purely on vinyl
acetate and ethylene and are ideal for
highly flexible facade formulations.
and environmental impact. Since they
were first developed, VINNAPAS ®
polymer powders, have played an
integral role in the development of
exterior insulation and finish systems
(EIFS). These systems require the use
of Polymer binders as they consist of
several layers that need stable and
And third, it’s flexible, allowing for
expansion and contraction.
The base mortar also plays another
important role in rendering the EIFS
system flexible and durable.

fitted properly, exterior insulation
and finishing systems can reduce
energy costs of a building by as
much as 60%.
