Knauf Fugenfueller Leicht and Knauf Fugenfueller Impregnated are powder materials based on gypsum and various admixtures that give the required properties for their use.

They are used for the joint treatment of gypsum boards with, or without, the use of the appropriate jointing tape depending on the type of the plasterboards edges.

Knauf Perlfix is a special gypsum-based adhesive for applying gypsum boards on vertical surfaces.

Knauf FE 60 Magic is a self levelling floor screed made of calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate, portland cement, special additives, liquidators and sand of specific grain size.

Knauf FE 10 Thin is a universal self-leveling mortar, based on calcium sulfate calcium carbonate and other minor additives of selected granulometry. It is recommended for internal use, and is applied over a stable base in low thicknesses from 2mm to 10mm.

Knauf gypsum for constructions is a particularly fast-curing, high-strength special gypsum for installation and repair work. Ideal for setting and fixing electrical sockets, as well as for attaching Knauf cornice strips and Knauf plaster profiles. Suitable for filling holes and slots, it is applied on wall and ceiling surfaces internally.

Knauf Decorative gypsum is a fast-setting universal plaster suitable for making decorative plastered objects.
