New screed materials for external thermal insulation composite systems

Abstract

Thermal insulation of buildings is an actual topic during present days when energy and fuel prices rise up. Thermal insulation of building facades consists from thermal insulation layer, its fixing and protective layer. This article is focusing the topic of reusing the waste for production of new polymercemente materials which can be used for such facades thermal insulation systems.
The goal of this work was to explore the possibility of using selected waste byproducts in the manufacture of new polymer-modified mortar – in particular, dry adhesives and screeding material to apply insulation sheeting materials in external thermal insulation composite systems, while at the same time maintaining the maximum possible filler for the desired characteristics.
In the course of the research, observation was made of the influence of the waste byproducts under study on mechanics and chemical characteristics that is to say on the microstructure of polymer-modified mortar adhesive and screeding mixtures. It is absolutely necessary to use computers for evaluation of results obtained during the performed tests.
