Diathonite Evolution

Breathable lime and cork based insulating plaster for the thermal insulation

Thermal Conductivity

λ = 0,045 W/mK

Thanks to the right mix of carefully selected natural raw materials, the product achieves high levels of thermal insulation.

Thermal Diffusivity

0,125 x 10⁻⁶ m²/s

The low diffusivity value (α) indicates a high degree of insulation from heat and therefore greater comfort and savings for summer cooling.

Fire resistant

CLASS A1

Classified in class A1 according to UNI EN ISO 13501-1. No flame generation and no smoke emission.

Breathability

μ = 4

Thanks to the high value of permeability (μ), the humidity of the indoors is perfectly balanced, thus avoiding the formation of moulds and condensation

Porosity

71,64%

The cavities and gaps in the plaster allow moisture and condensation to be absorbed and disposed of.

Density

360 ± 20 kg/m³

Macroporous structure with high air content guarantees excellent performance in terms of insulation and absorption of excess moisture.

Mechanical Strength

1,5 N/mm² // 217.6 lbf/in² (psi) (Bending)
2,95 N/mm² // 427.9 lbf/in² (psi) (Compressive)

High strength, durability and stability over time.

Sustainability certifications

Identifies Diathonite Evolution as a low environmental impact product with a sustainability that involves all phases of its life cycle.

Recognizes that Diathonite Evolution has the ability to contribute to healthier spaces, healthy air, better thermal comfort and energy saving.

Performance certifications

The CE marking identifies Diathonite Evolution as a product complying with European construction standards and the rules governing its distribution and use.

The UKCA marking identifies Diathonite Evolution as a product complying with UK construction standards and the rules governing its distribution and use.

Royal Palace of Évora: a revolution of the living comfort

“Architecture means building environment for the people, universities, museums, schools, concert halls: these are all places that become outposts against barbarism.”

Renzo Piano

Unlike dry board systems, Diathonite Evolution is malleable and flexible when being applied.

The magic of materials

These all-natural ingredients are sympathetic to the conservation requirements of listed buildings and will contribute to LEED credits.
