The constant action of atmospheric agents, combined with mechanical stresses and temperature fluctuations, puts the integrity of the external thermal insulation system to the test. Phenomena such as freeze-thaw cycles, washout, water infiltration, and direct or indirect mechanical stresses, along with the initial use of low-quality materials, lead to various forms of deterioration, including cracks, fissures, detachment, and swelling. These issues reduce the effectiveness of thermal insulation and compromise the aesthetic appearance of the façade. In such situations, implementing the right restoration system is essential to ensure long-lasting protection and maintain the building's performance.
IVAS has developed and implemented a dedicated solution for the restoration of deteriorated ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems), aimed at enhancing elasticity and mechanical resistance. This is achieved through the use of RASOFLEX, a ready-to-use, carbon fiber-reinforced adhesive and skim coat designed to absorb micro-tensions in the substrate and prevent the formation of new cracks. Its exceptional adhesion capacity allows for the consolidation of the existing coating without the need for removal, ensuring a fast and effective restoration process. Thanks to its advanced formulation, this system offers high resistance to atmospheric agents, preventing the growth of mold, algae, and various aesthetic issues.
