In the light of the European Assessment Documents the use of polyurethane adhesives in ETICS is currently limited to fixing only EPS. In this study, we evaluate the usability of the polyurethane adhesive for ETICS with lamella mineral wool, intended for thermal insulation of walls made of concrete or masonry elements, as well as with a timber frame structure. Band strength tests were carried out, supplemented by SEM analysis of the adhesive structure. The analysis was carried out taking into account the influence of the type of substrate and the temperature and humidity conditions. The research results obtained in the work constitute a premise for a positive assessment of the construction usability of polyurethane adhesive as a component of ETICS with mineral wool.
