Ceresit CT72 Silicate Render - 1.5 mm grain

Ceresit CT72 Silicate Render is a high-performance, ready-to-use mineral-based render designed for decorative façade finishes. It provides excellent vapour permeability, making it ideal for exterior walls that require breathability. CT72 offers high resistance to weather conditions, UV rays, and biological contamination such as mould and algae. It is available in various grain sizes (e.g., 1.5mm, 2.0mm, and 3.0mm), allowing for different textures and finishes to suit aesthetic preferences. CT72 is particularly suited for use in Ceresit ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems), especially with the application of EPS-boards (Expanded Polystyrene boards) and mineral wool boards. This combination improves the thermal efficiency of buildings, reducing energy consumption while maintaining a breathable and durable façade. Easy to apply, CT72 enhances both the appearance and protection of insulated external walls.

How to use

• Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any loose materials. The surface should be even and structurally sound.
• Apply Ceresit CT16 Primer to the surface and allow it to dry. This helps to improve adhesion and achieve a uniform finish.
• Ensure the temperature is between +5°C and +25°C. Avoid working in direct sunlight, strong wind, or rain, as these conditions can affect the drying process.
• Before application, stir the Ceresit CT72 render to achieve a uniform consistency. Do not dilute with water.
• Using a stainless steel trowel, apply an even layer of CT72 to the surface. The thickness should match the grain size of the render (e.g., 1.5mm, 2.0mm, or 3.0mm).
• Immediately after application, use a plastic trowel to create the desired texture, either circular or linear movements, depending on the grain size and finish you want.
• Allow the render to cure for 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions. Protect the freshly applied render from direct sunlight, wind, and rain during the curing period.
• Once dry, if desired, an additional protective coat of Ceresit Silicate Paint or another compatible finish can be applied to enhance durability and colour intensity.

Important Tips:

• Avoid applying the render in temperatures below +5°C or above +25°C.
• Do not apply in high humidity or when rain is expected.
• Ensure consistent material from the same production batch is used on one surface to avoid colour variation.
• Clean tools with water immediately after use.
