THE ENVIRONMENT IS LIFE, IT IS SHELTER... IT IS HOME Nature is our primary supplier as, thanks to its generosity, we are able to combine and use the materials needed to produce Diathonite Thermactive.037. The product is the result of the union of nature and technology which led to a formulation designed to improve domestic comfort. Diathonite Thermactive.037 ensures thermal balance, healthy environments, harmony and durability: preventing mould and condensation, reducing the discomfort of rapid temperature excursions, guaranteeing fire protection, mitigating the bitter cold of winter and...

THE FINEST BARK FOR THERMAL COMFORT DIATHONITE THERMACTIVE.037 IS POWERED BY CORK AND ITS PRICELESS MAGIC: NATURAL, RENEWABLE, VERSATILE AND SUSTAINABLE, CONSISTING OF 80% AIR WHICH MAKES IT EXTREMELY LIGHT AND BREATHABLE. Cork is Diasen's distinguishing feature and the beating heart of the Diathonite line, which it endows with unique properties that ensure effective application and excellent results. Cork is unaffected by humidity, preventing the formation of condensation; it slows the propagation of sound, guaranteeing acoustic insulation; it reduces heat exchange, keeping houses cooler...

THE MAGIC OF MATERIALS The Diathonite Thermactive.037 formulation is the result of an intuitive leap: to develop and produce an innovative thermal insulating plaster that is different by nature and in terms of its application method, and that fully reflects the company’s commitment to sustainability and low environmental impact. On this basis, the raw materials that characterise the formula share a common thread: natural origins that allow them to fully exploit the properties of air as the most effective thermal insulating material found in nature. NHL5 HYDRAULIC LIME: THE AGE-OLD WISDOM OF...

The materials used in Diathonite Thermactive.037 create extremely porous conditions, offering a certain thermal insulation resulting from the decisive action of air. Air has a very low heat transfer capacity, with a thermal conductivity value that makes it one of the best insulating substances known to man. 8 TO EXPLOIT THIS PROPERTY, HOWEVER, THE AIR MUST BE ENCAPSULATED IN CELLS WHICH PREVENT ITS MOVEMENT. IT IS STATIC AIR THAT AFFORDS INSULATION. For this reason, porous materials are needed to trap air in their many cavities. The materials chosen are characterised by cavities which...

DIATHONITE THERMACTIVE.037 RESPONDS TO A HUMAN NEED: TO REDUCE THERMAL DISCOMFORT. The product's strength lies in its natural materials which ensure long-lasting thermal balance: insulating against harsh winter temperatures and giving relief from summer heat. The challenge of thermal insulation is to fulfil the wise old saying of wool-workers: what protects from the cold can also protect from the heat. Diathonite Thermactive.037 is Active because it is a dynamic product which acts over time, adapting to the climate variations throughout the year and to the ever-changing humidity levels. It...

THERMAL COMFORT VALUES INSULATING PROPERTIES AND REACTION TO FIRE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY Thanks to the right mix of carefully selected raw materials, the product achieves extremely high performance in terms of thermal insulation. THERMAL DIFFUSIVITY The low diffusivity value indicates a high level of insulation against heat and therefore greater comfort, as well as savings on air conditioning in summer. Classified in class A1 according to European standard EN ISO 13501-1. No production of flaming and no emission of smoke.

THE VALUES OF A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT DEHUMIDIFYING PROPERTIES DEHUMIDIFICATION CAPACITY 1.00 Kg/m²h0.5 Contributes to the hygrometric balance of environments, for maximum living comfort. Walls are free to breathe. Thanks to high permeability, ambient humidity is perfectly balanced, thus preventing the formation of mould and condensation. A macroporous structure with a high air content guarantees excellent performance in terms of insulation and absorption of excess moisture.

STRUCTURAL VALUES MECHANICAL PROPERTIES MECHANICAL STRENGTH The aggregates contained in the matrix make the product extremely light, facilitating application. More elastic than traditional plasters, it reduces the risk of crack and fissures. High compressive strength which gives walls greater consistency and stability.

The performance guaranteed by Diathonite Thermactive.037 is validated by the product certifications issued by certifying bodies renowned for their rigour, reliability and stringent evaluation parameters. DIATHONITE THERMACTIVE.037 IS CERTIFIED IN RELATION TO ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND APPLICATION AND PROCESS PROPERTIES, HIGHLIGHTING THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS PRODUCT WHICH IS THE FRUIT OF AN ORIGINAL MIX OF COMPETITIVENESS, INNOVATION AND PERFORMANCE. SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATIONS The product complies with the procedures, properties and values of EPD certification, which identifies...
