BAUMIT CRYSTALSET

In the summer season, high temperatures combined with intense sunlight place heavy stress on facades and cause exterior wall surfaces to become ‘sticky’, because the polymeric binders contained in the finishes soften in the heat.‎ This ‘sticky’ consistency allows dirt particles to stick to the surface more easily.‎ When the façade cools down, these particles are incorporated into the plastered surface, making the façade appear dirty over time.‎ To prevent these problems, Baumit has developed the new Baumit CrystalSet, the innovative finishing system consisting of CrystalTop, the first ready-to-use mineral coating, and CrystalActivator, its specific primer-activator, which is used like a normal facade primer with excellent processing properties and must be applied to the entire facade surface.‎ This combination is essential to achieve a durable surface thanks to the unique CrystalEffect, which provides maximum protection against soiling caused by high temperatures.‎ How it works The unique combination of Baumit CrystalTop and Baumit CrystalTop Activator prevents dirt from becoming trapped in the surface.‎ Even when subjected to high temperatures, the façade remains clean and aesthetically beautiful for a long time.‎ The secret of Baumit CrystalSet lies in its unique CrystalEffect, which makes the façade not only breathable, but also extremely durable.‎ The crystalline surface that is created thanks to the mineral binder, which is non-thermoplastic and not susceptible to high summer temperatures, is characterised by excellent anti-ageing properties and minimal dirt pick-up.‎ Properties and advantages: Maximum protection against soiling Excellent anti-ageing properties Natural and breathable.‎ Baumit CrystalActivator and Baumit CrystalTop must be applied separately.‎ The curing and hardening process of Baumit CrystalTop only begins after the application of Baumit CrystalActivator.‎ Areas of application FINISHING COAT FOR MINERAL SUBSTRATES Baumit CrystalSet can be applied to mineral substrates, such as Baumit Multi façade renovation systems with Baumit MultiWhite and Baumit MultiWhite Fine lime-cement skim coatings.‎ Thanks to its characteristic CrystalEffect, Baumit CrystalSet guarantees long-lasting, dirt-resistant façades.‎ BAUMIT CrystalSet: FINISHING FOR ETICS SYSTEMS When used on mineral thermal insulation systems (ETICS), Baumit CrystalSet is a natural, breathable and durable finish coating.‎ As underlays, Baumit recommends Baumit StarContact and Baumit ProContact adhesive-smoothing compounds.‎
