The APU slide bearing profile PUR-FIX-K is used in external thermal insulation composite
systems on buildings with differing construction materials (e.g. timber extensions on
masonry structures).
Its decoupled design allows for building movement to be absorbed without damage (up to
4 mm compression and 2 mm shear).
The profile consists of two rigid PVC sections, each fitted with a mesh strip. Each bar has
a mesh overhang on one side of 10 cm in the lengthways direction A pre-compressed PUR
sealing tape is integrated into the profile. When the red activation strip is removed, the
tape expands to accommodate movement and provide sealing that is resistant to driving
rain. The PUR sealing tape is pre-inserted along the length of the profile and includes a
projection for joint sealing. Profiles are aligned precisely using the supplied plug connectors
(Z14). After completion of the plaster, a clean render separation joint is formed that is
suitable for scraped render.

| Storage | Always store profiles dry and flat. |
| Other applications | Applications not clearly described in the documentation may only be carried out after consulting the manufacturer of the render or ETICS system. |
| Movement | Use alternative profiles if larger movements are expected. Expected building movement must be specified by the project planner. |
