Description
Diathonite Evolution is a fully breathable lime-based insulating plaster made from Hydrated lime, NHL 3.5 binder, Clay, Cork and Diatomaceous earth. It is highly breathable and helps walls in older buildings dry out thanks to its capillary active nature. Diathonite Evolution thermal plaster can be used internally or externally on solid stone or masonry walls and ceilings. It should be applied to exposed stone or brick after any gypsum plaster has been removed. It can also be applied on wood-based panels, lath and plasterboard that have been primed with Diasen Aquabond.
Where to use it
Diathonite Evolution thermal plaster can be used internally or externally and is ideally suited for the restoration and insulation of Historic/Listed buildings or any building with solid stone or masonry walls.
What it does
Diathonite Evolution is an insulating plaster that can help regulate moisture to manage damp and humidity in solid walls often found within older buildings. Please note, Diathonite Evolution does not cure penetrating damp. Prior to application, any existing damp problems must be fully resolved.
In a typical installation, applying 50 – 75mm of Diathonite Evolution will improve the thermal performance of the wall by 3.5-4.5 times. This thickness is the most cost-effective way to provide a significant thermal improvement to the wall.
The mechanical strength and elasticity are provided by the clever combination of natural ingredients. Elasticity reduces the risk of micro-cracking for a long-lasting durable finish.

Benefits
- 50mm of Evolution improves the thermal performance of a wall by approximately 3.5 times.
- Dual function plaster; can be used to level walls and to insulate.
- Natural cork and lime provide breathability, thermal insulation and elasticity while also maintaining the unique characteristics of the wall.
- Can be used internally and externally allowing walls to breathe and balance room humidity.
- Up to 10 times more elastic than traditional plasters reducing the risk of cracks.
- Provides a simple and easy solution to eliminate thermal bridges.
- Can be sprayed-on or applied by hand. An experienced lime plasterer or DIY enthusiasts can install it with no special training.
