Combination of horizontal and vertical insulation for comprehensive protection of building
In order to connect properly the PRINZ horizontal waterproofing with the vertical insulation, we offer a proven, effective and durable method using REMMERS products, including MB2K. It is a flexible polymer thick film coating (FPD). It combines the properties of a flexible, mineral sealing grount (MDS) (general test certificate: P-5344/081/14 MPA-BS) and a thick bitumen coating (PMBC) – test report in accordance with EN 15814.
PRINZ insulation materials combined with REMMERS products provide comprehensive protection of the building against moisture.
The moisture insulation system offered by REMMERS enables full protection of both foundations and above-ground structures, ensuring long-term building safety. PRINZ horizontal insulation and REMMERS vertical insulation are modern material technologies that can effectively minimize risk of moisture inside the building. It is a reliable and proven moisture insulation system with a wide range of applications.
PRINZ insulation materials in combination with REMMERS products provide comprehensive protection of the building against moisture.
Insulation of the foundations and external walls of a building is essential to ensure long-term protection against moisture. In the context of this process, the correct connection of horizontal and vertical insulation is essential, which minimizes the risk of thermal bridges and allows for full tightness of the structure. PRINZ horizontal insulation, combined with vertical insulation created on the basis of REMMERS products effectively prevent moisture from penetrating both from the outside and from the inside of the building. In the case of foundations, where the risk of moisture is particularly high, REMMERS foundation insulation systems provide optimal sealing, even in difficult ground conditions.
The correct connection of PRINZ horizontal insulation and vertical insulation using REMMERS products consists of:
a) filling the joint with cement mortar with additives
b) bonding layer: priming the substrate with REMMERS Kiesol 1:1 with water + REMMERS WP Sulfatex waterproofing grout
c) leveling layer: REMMERS WP DS Levell
d) bonding layer: REMMERS MB 2K
e) MB 2K mortar with Selectmix RMS quartz sand
f) vertical waterproofing from the outside: 2x REMMERS WP Sulfatex
g) renovation plaster system:
– rendering – REMMERS SP Prep
– salt storing plaster – REMMERS SP Levell*
– renovation plaster – REMMERS SP Top white
* optional in the case of high salinity of the wall
Moisture insulation inside of the building, supported by REMMERS wall drying agent, prevents the formation of mould and protects against further moisture penetration, which is crucial for the long-term durability of the building. The use of appropriate materials, such as sealing muds and renovation plaster systems, guarantees effective protection even in difficult conditions.

MB2K scope of application
The scope of MB2K applications is extremely wide and also includes vertical insulation of the building, which is of great importance, especially in the case of securing the structure against groundwater and rainwater. The full spectrum of applications fo the flexible polymer thick-film coating Multi-Baudicht 2K includes:
- Rapid waterproofing
- Waterproofing in and underneath walls
- WTA-compliant retroactive waterproofing
- Can be applied > 3 m below ground
- Approved for connecting to water impermeable concrete structures
- Waterproofing of plinths and base points
- Waterproofing in a bond
- Bonding layer on old bitumen coatings
- Repair of flat roof waterproofing on roofs of structures which are not habitations
REMMERS insulation is a reliable element of protection against moisture even in older buildings, where repair of horizontal insulation is necessary to avoid further damage to the structure. Used in both new buildings and existing buildings, it guarantees durability and effectiveness in various conditions. The MB2K moisture insulation system provides full protection against water, both in foundation and wall insulation.
MB2K basic properties
The right REMMERS insulation properties are crucial for long-term protection of the building against moisture. The flexible polymer thick-film coating (FPD) Multi-Baudicht 2K enables quick and effective repair of moisture damage, as it is characterised by:
- Very good adhesion, also on non-mineral substrates such as plastics, metals, etc. Proven effectiveness of connection with PRINZ insulation plates
- Tested on crack formation of greater than 3 mm (according to DIN EN 14891)
- Complete drying and cross-linking occur rapidly, after just 18 hours
- Meets the test requirements for PMBC
- Radon-tight (verified through testing)
- Solvent-free
- Bitumen-free
- Water pressure tight
- High tensile adhesion strength
- Excellent adhesion on non-mineral substrates (e.g. plastics, metals)
- Can be covered after a very short time (≥ 4h)
- UV-resistant
- Freeze/thaw-resistant
- Can be plastered and painted over
- Can be applied as a grout, with a brush or trowel, or by spraying
Thanks to the use of modern material technologies, REMMERS insulation ensures effective repair of horizontal insulation in virtually all circumstances. MB2K is an extremely versatile product that works perfectly in both vertical and horizontal insulation, in buildings that are just being built and already existing, providing proven, long-term protection against water and moisture.
