Properties of the render FIXIT 222
Properties of Fixit 222
Main ingredients
hydraulic lime (hardens also in H2O)
hydrated lime (hardens by absorbing CO2)
white cement
Aerogel (SiO2)
mineral aggregates (ex. Perlite)
water retention agent
air-entraining agent
hydrophobizing agent
Properties of Fixit 222
Thermal conductivity
Thermal conductivity determined at 20°C and 50% r.H.
lD ≈ 0.028 W/(mK)
Compared to other insulation renderings at 20°C and 50% r.H.
l is a function of moisture content !
The yearly average water content will determine a correspondingly higher thermal conductivity.

Properties of Fixit 222
Vapor transmission resistance
Water vapor resistance factor µ determines the material’s reluctance to let
water vapor pass through
Low µ-value = low resistance to water vapor transmission
Compared to other insulation materials at 20°C
