Advanced Formulation for Superior Performance
The ecorend EWI-24 Base Coat is a high-performance, high-strength, cement-based base coat formulated exclusively for use within an ecorend external wall insulation (EWI) system. Designed to provide an ultra-reliable bonding layer, it offers exceptional adhesion, breathability, and waterproofing properties, ensuring long-term durability and protection.
With a carefully engineered formulation, the EWI-24 Base Coat is ideal for anyone looking for a high-performance solution to create a strong and stable base for render finishes.
Application Across Multiple Substrates
The EWI-24 Base Coat is engineered for exceptional compatibility with a variety of substrates, providing a reliable and durable bonding layer. Whether applied to masonry, concrete, or insulation boards, its flexible formulation allows for strong adhesion, ensuring long-term stability across different surface types.
Technical Features & Benefits
- Advanced Polymer Modification – Enhances adhesion and flexibility, reducing the risk of cracking.
- High Compressive Strength – Ensures a robust, impact-resistant surface.
- Excellent Workability – Smooth application with a pot life of approximately 90 minutes.
- Waterproofing Protection – Helps resist water penetration while allowing vapour movement.
- Breathable Formula – Prevents moisture build-up, reducing the risk of damp-related issues.
- Frost & Weather Resistant – Engineered for UK climate conditions, providing long-lasting durability.
- Application Versatility – Can be applied with both traditional hand-applied methods and modern spray techniques for increased efficiency on site.
- Multiple Substrate Compatibility – Bonds effectively to masonry, concrete, insulation boards, and other standard EWI surfaces.
- Reinforcement Compatibility – Designed to be used with alkali-resistant fibreglass mesh for additional strength and crack resistance.
Efficient Application for Streamlined Installation
With the ability to be hand or spray applied, the EWI-24 Base Coat provides installers with maximum flexibility. The easy-to-mix formulation ensures smooth application and workability, helping to achieve a uniform and consistent layer that enhances the overall system performance.
For professional applicators, the spray application method significantly reduces labour time, making large-scale projects faster and more efficient without compromising quality.
