AVAL KT 55

Adhesives and Basecoats - AVAL

AVAL KT 55

 AVAL KT 55 - 2 in 1: adhesive for EPS application and for mesh embedding
Description 2 in 1 – designed for fixing thermal insulation boards and for the reinforced layer (base coat) installation in the external thermal insulation of buildings.
Element of the thermal insulation systems – an element of composite thermal insulation systems, granted the European Technical Approval (ETA). The main characteristics • high adhesiveness
• good water vapour permeability
• reinforced with microfibres
• resistant to cracks and scratches
• also for graphite - enhanced EPS
• BBA Certificate
• NSAI Certificate
The main parameters • base coat bed thickness: 2 - 5 mm
• adhesion to concrete: min. 0.25 MPa
• adhesion to expanded polystyrene: min. 0.08 MPa
• consumption: boards application: from 4.0 to 5.0 kg/m²
• consumption: base coat application: from 3.0 to 3.5 kg/m²


Availability: In stock



Flexible – compensates thermal and mechanical stress exerted on other layers of the system.
Increased resistance to cracking – it is reinforced with cellulose fibres.
High adhesion – strongly bonds to mineral substrates.
High water vapour permeability – does not restrict water vapour transmission through the insulated wall.

AVAL KT 55 is manufactured as a dry mix of cement binder, aggregates and modifying agents of the highest quality, reinforced with cellulose fibres.
