Ceramic adhesive cement in thermal insulation?

Glue, adhesive-cement

The same polystyrene foam or EPS foam or polystyrene foam is used for insulation, because they have relatively higher thermal insulation properties than natural materials. Often these insulation panels need to be attached to surfaces, in most cases this is done using various adhesives.
How can we attach these materials to the wall and can this be done using ordinary “tile-cement” adhesive? 
Yes, it is possible. But!
Let's briefly delve into the topic.
Adhesive cement is based on cement, sand and other polymer additives. Cement glues everything wherever its structure reaches. When drying, it reliably adheres to the concrete surface, but there is another side to it, the insulation panel. The adhesive must also adhere well to the EPS, polystyrene foam or polystyrene foam, especially since the panels are installed on the facade of the building, it must withstand all kinds of atmospheric influences. Here it should be helped by a different type of additive. 
Today, there is a very large assortment of ceramic granite adhesives on the market, from minimal budget ones to high-standard adhesives, some of them are intended for use in internal areas, which should already be excluded for gluing panels on the facade of a building. Some of them are intended for gluing heavy marble and granite stone, contain various chemical additives and, accordingly, have a high price, using them will simply be a financial waste. Some of them are of standard average quality, but are not elastic enough in operation, which is important for gluing insulating panels. 
Conclusion.
Yes, insulating panels can be glued with tile, metal tile, marble, ceramic granite adhesives, but it is not correct. 
We recommend adhesive plaster for thermal insulation panels #yapimax #Iway 

It is frost-resistant, elastic in the form of foam, withstands all kinds of atmospheric influences, breathes - it is characterized by vapor permeability, which is very important for the building. It is affordable, practical because in case of over-heating,
