Field of Application
To form vertical expansion joints in the Capatect ETICS✱ systems A and B.
✱ETICS = External Thermal Insulation Composite System
Brit. term: EWI = External Wall Insulation
Am. term: EIFS = External Insulation and Finish System
Type E: For flush joints
Type V: For joints in internal corners
Material Properties

- Weather resisrant
- UV resistant
- Recoatable
- Economic application in one operation
- Suitable for all insulation thicknesses
- With 1 gauge (Typ V) or two gauges (Typ E) for the following coatings
- Variable used for joint widths from 5-25 mm
- 10 cm wide reinforcing fabric strips on both sides
Packaging/Package Size
Unit length 250 [ cm ]
Carton with 25 units / 62.5 [ m ]
Storage
Horizontally, tensionless, protected from continuing solar irradiation, heating and mechanical stress and moisture.
Product No.
Typ E = 6660/00Typ V = 6670/00
Substrate Preparation
ETICS does not bridge expansion joits of buildings.
These joints have to be taken over into the insulation and all following coats. For functional and optical reasons the flanks of joints should be carried out carefully. For use of Capatect- Dehnfugenprofil "Plus" 6660 and 6670 set flank distances in minimum 5 mm and maximum 25 mm
Method of Application
Expansion joints (type E or type V) have to be carried out before applying the reinforcing layer.
Apply reinforcement mortar on both sides of the joint about 15 cm wide spreaded over the insulation boards. Embed the fabric strips into the fresh reinforcing mortar. Take excess mortar of and smooth to avoid a piling on.
Recommendation:
To ensure a uniform joint widths, insert a strip of polystyrene or comparably as spacer. This also prevents contamination of the joint profile while the following coatings are carried out. Separate the spacer carefully from each coat before curing. Remove the strip after completion of work.

Disposal
Dispose materials and all related packeging in a safe way in accordance with the full requirements of the local authorities.
Particular attention should be made to removing wastage from site in compliance with standard construction site procedures.
For EU: Dispose material residues as per EWC (European Waste Cataloque) 101103 (old glas fibre materials) or according to EWC 170904 (mixed construction and demolition waste).
