Adhesive and Skim Coat for Green Building | Natural Lime for Hemp Panels

Dual function in a single product: high-performance adhesive for panel bonding and mineral render for reinforced finishes. Reduces costs, construction time, and simplifies logistics by eliminating the need for multiple products

Certified adhesion on lightweight panels: specific formulation to ensure optimal hold on hemp and lime panels, even at low densities, where traditional adhesives might fail

Maximum breathability guaranteed: natural mineral base allows the system to breathe, maintaining the hygro-regulating properties of the hemp panels without creating vapor barriers

Ease of application: pre-mixed and ready to use with the simple addition of water, optimal workability, setting times designed to allow for corrections and adjustments during installation

The Adhesive and Skim Coat for Green Building is the ideal solution for:

INSULATION PANEL BONDING
Hemp and Lime Panel (2.5 cm) on masonry
Hemp fiber insulation panels on walls

AVAILABLE FORMAT

25 kg bags
Standard format for construction sites, easily storable and transportable.

Indicative yield:

• As an adhesive (notched trowel): approx. 3-4 kg/sqm
• As a skim coat (smooth trowel): approx. 1.5 kg/sqm per mm of thickness

CONSUMPTION AND QUANTITY CALCULATION

For bonding Hemp and Lime Panel:

• Average consumption: 3-4 kg/sqm
• 1 bag (25 kg) = approx. 6-8 sqm of panels bonded

For reinforced skim coating:

• Thickness 1-3 mm
• Consumption: approx. 1.5-4.5 kg/sqm
• 1 bag (25 kg) = approx. 5-15 sqm skim coated (depending on thickness)

Practical example:
Cladding with Hemp and Lime Panel on a 15 sqm wall

• Adhesive needed: approx. 45-60 kg (2-3 bags)
• Reinforced skim coat: approx. 25-70 kg (1-3 bags)
• Total: 3-6 bags

Zero VOC - Natural materials with no harmful emissions, certified for healthy environments

Bio-building compatibility - Suitable for natural building systems and environmental certifications

Certified breathability - Allows the system to breathe while maintaining moisture-regulating properties

CE marking - European regulatory compliance for mortars and adhesives

Suitable for CAM - Usable in systems with Minimum Environmental Criteria requirements

Can I use the Adhesive and Skim Coat also as a simple skim coat?

Yes, the product has a dual function:

As an ADHESIVE:

• Application with a notched trowel (R12 type)
• Bonding hemp insulation panels
• Coverage: approximately 3-4 kg/sqm

As a SKIM COAT:

• Application with a smooth trowel
• Reinforced skimming with fiberglass mesh
• Thickness: 1-3 mm
• Coverage: approximately 1.5 kg/sqm per mm of thickness

The dual function allows to:

• Bond the panels
• Skim the surface with the same product
• Reduce costs and simplify construction site management

How is the Adhesive and Skim Coat applied for bonding panels?

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION:
Ensure the surface is clean, sound, and free of grease. Consolidate friable parts.

MIX PREPARATION:

1. Pour clean water into a bucket or mixer
2. Gradually add the powdered product
3. Mix with a drill mixer
4. Follow the water proportions indicated on the technical data sheet
5. Use the mix within 2 hours

APPLICATION:

1. Spread adhesive on the wall with a notched trowel (R12 type)
2. Spread a thin, even layer on the back of the panel
3. Position the panel with slight pressure
4. Tap with a rubber hammer to ensure adhesion
5. Check for flatness and alignment

IMPORTANT: In particular climatic conditions, it may be necessary to slightly moisten the panel before installation.

What is the difference between this product and the Panel Skim Coat?

They are complementary products with different functions:

ADHESIVE AND SKIM COAT (this product):

• Primary function: panel bonding
• Secondary function: basic skimming
• Application: notched trowel for bonding
• Adhesion: high performance on lightweight panels
• Use: panel installation phase + first skimming

PANEL SKIM COAT:

• Function: skimming and final finish
• Grain size: finer, optimized for finishes
• Application: smooth trowel
• Color: white, grain size 1.00 mm
• Use: final phase for completing reinforced skimming

In practice:

1. Bond the panels with Adhesive and Skim Coat
2. Perform first reinforced skimming with Adhesive and Skim Coat
3. Complete with finishing using Panel Skim Coat

Or use only Adhesive and Skim Coat for everything if a perfect finish is not required.

Is the Adhesive and Skim Coat breathable?

Yes, it is highly breathable thanks to its natural mineral base (lime and hydraulic binders).

Why it's important:
Hemp and Lime Panel and hemp insulation panels are natural humidity regulators: they absorb and release moisture, maintaining a healthy indoor climate.

If you use a waterproof adhesive (such as cement-based or synthetic adhesives):

• You block breathability
• You trap moisture
• You negate the panel's properties
• You risk condensation and mold

With lime-based Adhesive and Skim Coat:

• You allow the system to breathe
• You maintain the humidity-regulating properties
• You avoid interstitial condensation
• You ensure long-term durability

In summary: It is the ONLY adhesive compatible with hemp insulation systems to maintain their performance.

How much does the Adhesive and Skim Coat cost?

The cost varies based on:

• Quantity ordered (bags)
• Delivery destination
• Complete system (panels + adhesive + skim coat + mesh)
