RIGIPS Joint Filler VARIO 5 kg Bag Joint Filler for Gypsum Board Panels in Dry Construction

For filling joints in dry construction with, for example, Rigips panels, VARIO joint filler is a highly plasticized material based on gypsum according to DIN EN 13963, Type 4B, quality standard, joint compound for joint and finish Q1Q4.

Application Area

• For filling the joints and connection seams of VARIO edges with or without Rigips paper or fiberglass reinforcement strips.
• For filling the staggered joint seams of Glasroc F Ridurit and Glasroc F Riflex panels with Rigips fiberglass reinforcement strips.
