SATE – Thermal Insulation

Presentation of the new System: SATE PROPAM® ECOETICS

Continuous innovation and commitment to sustainable construction is always at the heart of our business strategy.

For this reason, and coinciding with the historic opportunity offered by the Next Generation Funds, it is time to bet on the Exterior Thermal Insulation System (SATE), one of the main responsible for improving the energy efficiency of the housing stock by 2030.

This system, as if it were a waterproof skin, protects the building from the outside, regulating the exchange of temperatures and, therefore, energy waste. As it is installed on the outside of the home, it does not take up space – which is reduced with traditional systems – nor does it require building work, so it is possible to stay in the home during installation.

It also increases the quality of life in the home, improves and modernises the image of the buildings and can even increase the value of the property by more than 20%, with a view to possible rental or future sale.

At Molins, we continue to reinforce our commitment to the environment, to the circular economy and to reducing our carbon footprint in our new launches. We also know that the use of environmentally friendly materials is essential for sustainable development in the construction sector. And our latest launches perfectly summarise this philosophy.

PROPAM® ECOETICS: A Sustainable Thermal Insulation System

The new sustainable external thermal insulation system PROPAM® ECOETICS revolves around all these axes.

It is the first system composed of panels with styrene obtained from plant waste from surplus, such as garden cleaning, branches or leaves, agricultural waste, all of which are free of commercial plants. Moreover, thanks to all this, it reduces the carbon footprint by 30%, promoting the construction of more sustainable buildings with less environmental impact.

Because of all these technical characteristics that we have analysed, thermal insulation systems improve the well-being and quality of life of home users.

Increased resistance to ageing and improved shock absorption and waterproofness

In this sense, they provide greater resistance to the ageing of buildings, introduce greater shock absorption and waterproofing, reduce energy consumption for air conditioning systems, provide acoustic insulation and chemical resistance, among other advantages.

They reduce energy losses by improving the thermal transmittance of the building’s vertical walls, thereby reducing the building’s energy demand (around 30%).


They also achieve a reduction of between 20% and 70% in the need to use heating and cooling. In terms of sustainability, this energy saving means a significant contribution to the reduction of pollutant gas emissions.

At Molins, with almost one hundred years of history, we continue to innovate and apply new technologies towards sustainability, always focusing on increasing the durability of the structures.

Importance of the PROPAM® ECOETICS System for Architects

Facades with natural aesthetics

In the fields of construction and design, the new PROPAM® ECOETICS range also gives façades a natural aesthetic that architects have long been calling for. And it brings numerous benefits such as:

  • Increased compensation of vapour flows between the inside and outside of the building.
  • Significant and positive improvement in the well-being of housing users.
  • Increased durability of structures

With this new system, an innovative and sustainable element is introduced in the field of external thermal insulation, which also gives façades a natural aesthetic, more in line with the current demands of architects and builders.

REVAT® CAL NATURE finish

And within this Molins range, PROPAM® THERM NATURE BM is a SATE, developed with a totally sustainable approach, as it incorporates a PROPAM® THERM EPS BM insulation panel whose manufacture reduces the carbon footprint by 30%, and a REVAT® CAL NATURE finish that recovers the traditional and natural aesthetics of lime stucco, as opposed to that offered by current conventional coatings based on acrylic solutions.
