Product Description

Outsulation® Systems consist of an adhesive, expanded polystyrene insulation board, base coat and reinforcing mesh applied over various water-resistive barriers and exterior-class substrates. Outsulation can be field–applied to in-place structures or form part of pre-fabricated wall panels.

Product Line

Outsulation®/Outsulation NC System: The original Dryvit EIF System has been used on commercial projects for over 35 years and now includes dual barriers.

Outsulation MD/Outsulation MD NC System®: A high–performance commercial EIF System that incorporates an air- and water-resistive barrier coating and geometrically defined EPS insulation as part of the system’s moisture management strategy.

Outsulation® Plus/Outsulation Plus NC System: A high-performance moisture drainage EIF System that incorporates an air- and water-resistive barrier.

Applicable Standards

The environmental impact of Dryvit EIFS has been evaluated by two U.S. government testing facilities – the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Both confirm that the Outsulation systems are ecologically responsible cladding options.

Dryvit Outsulation products meet the following standards:

• CCMC Technical Guide for EIFS.
• ASTM D 3273 for mildew resistance.
• ASTM D 2247 for water resistance.
• ASTM E 119 for fire resistance.
• CAN/ULC-S101 for fire resistance.
• Complete listing available upon request.

Features, Benefits

• Contributes to LEED® credits and certification.
• Provides substantial energy savings throughout the lifecycle of the building; once completed, a building clad in Dryvit EIFS requires less energy for heating and cooling than conventionally clad buildings.
• Requires fewer energy resources for raw-material extraction and fabrication.
• Lightweight and easier to transport than other cladding systems.
