GECO PLASTER

PRE-MIXED DEHUMIDIFYING PLASTER WITH HIGH THERMAL INSULATION PERFORMANCE. 14.4 lb/ft³ (230 kg/m3).

GECO PLASTER is a pre-mixed dehumidifying plaster with high thermal insulation capacity. Macroporous hydraulic binders mixed with GECO ADDITIVE and virgin EPS beads coated with the E.I.A. additive form a light, open structure that lets the moisture in the wall evaporate quickly.

It solves two problems at once: it dries out walls affected by rising damp and, with a thermal conductivity of 0.44 BTU·in/(h·ft²·°F) (0.063 W/(m·K)), it insulates them, preventing surface and interstitial condensation and the mold that comes with it. Total thickness from 1.18 to 7.87 in (3 to 20 cm), applied by hand or by plastering machine.

It is the core of the GECO dehumidifying system: GECO ANTISALT on salt-affected walls, GECO PLASTER, a breathable skim coat (ECAP® ADP or a mortar with GECO ADDITIVE) and breathable silicate or silicone finishes.
