What is EIFS / ETICS?

The External Insulation and Finishing System (EIFS / ETICS) is an energy-efficient and versatile wall system widely used in residential, commercial, and high-performance building projects.

LANDU EIFS additives improve the performance of adhesive mortars, base coats, and top coats, enhancing water retention, open time, workability, and crack resistance.

FAQ – LANDU EIFS Additives

Find answers to common questions about our EIFS / ETICS additives

Q1

How to choose between HPMC, HEMC, and HEC for EIFS?

+
  • HPMC: Base coat and adhesive mortar; excellent water retention and general performance
  • HEMC: Higher thermal resistance; suitable for warm climates
  • HEC: Finish coats; ensures smooth surface and aesthetic color options
Q2

Can RDP prevent cracks in EIFS mortars?

+

Yes. The combination of cellulose ether and RDP forms a flexible, crack-resistant wall system.

Q3

Can multiple additives be combined in one EIFS formula?

+

Absolutely. HPMC, RDP, starch ether, and deformers can be blended; LANDU provides dosage guidance and formula optimization.

Q4

Are LANDU EIFS additives safe and compliant?

+

Yes. All products comply with ISO 9001, EU REACH, and international chemical safety standards.

Q5

How do I request a free sample?

+

Click Request Free Sample; our team prepares a tailored package for your EIFS formulation needs.

Q6

What is the recommended dosage of HPMC K100 for EIFS base coat mortars?

+

Typically, 0.3–0.7% by weight of dry mortar. Exact dosage depends on desired open time, workability, and adhesion. LANDU provides technical support for dosage optimization.

Q7

How much RDP 5011N should I use in an EIFS adhesive mortar?

+

Recommended dosage is 3–6% by weight of dry binder, depending on flexibility, crack resistance, and substrate type. LANDU can provide a customized formula for your project.

Q8

Can I use HPMC K100 and RDP 5011N together in EIFS mortars?

+

Yes. HPMC K100 enhances water retention and workability, while RDP 5011N improves adhesion and flexibility. Combined, they provide superior crack resistance and long-term durability.

Q9

Can LANDU EIFS additives be used for both interior and exterior applications?

+

Yes. Our HPMC, HEMC, HEC, and RDP powders are suitable for exterior thermal insulation systems as well as interior wall base coats and skim coats.

Q10

How do I store LANDU EIFS additives?

+

Cellulose ethers and RDP powders should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage ensures consistent performance.

Q11

Can LANDU EIFS additives reduce cracks in base coat mortars?

+

Yes. HPMC K100 + RDP 5011N combination increases flexibility, tensile strength, and adhesion, minimizing cracking caused by shrinkage or environmental stress.

Q12

Are LANDU EIFS additives compatible with cement, lime, or acrylic-based mortars?

+

Yes. Our cellulose ether and RDP powders are compatible with cementitious and lime-based mortars, as well as polymer-modified EIFS formulations.
