Diathonite Sismactive is a structural thermal mortar: M10 strength (10.1 N/mm² compressive) in a cork-based plaster at λ 0.065 W/mK. In CRM systems it reinforces masonry against seismic loads while insulating the wall.. Lime-based, breathable and A1 fire-rated; 3–5 cm in CRM builds, on historic and modern masonry inside and out.

Key Features

  • Flexural strength 2.3 N/mm²
  • Compressive category CS IV
  • 40-minute workability
  • Adhesion ≥ 0.5 N/mm² to masonry

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Diathonite Sismactive used for?
    It's designed for seismic reinforcement and structural stabilization of masonry walls in historic and existing buildings.

    Can it be used in heritage buildings?
    Yes — its breathability and compatibility with old masonry make it ideal for restoration and retrofit projects.

    How thick should it be applied?
    Typically 15–30 mm, depending on structural and insulation needs. Can be applied in multiple layers.

    Do I need a primer?
    It depends on the substrate.
    Use Aquabond on smooth, non-absorbent surfaces (e.g., concrete, painted walls, plasterboard).
    Not needed on absorbent masonry (brick, stone, old plaster).

    How is it installed?
    By hand trowel or spray machine. We recommend professional installation for structural applications.

    Is it fire-resistant?
    Yes — classified as A1 (non-combustible) under EN 13501-1.

    Can I paint over it?
    Yes — once cured, it can be painted with mineral or lime-based paints. We recommend Decork Design for a seamless, eco-friendly finish.
