SkamoPlus boards for basement (interior)
Saw an advertisement for something called SkamoPlus in an issue of the DIY magazine, according to the manufacturer it is an insulating board used to renovate interior walls and has a high pH value that prevents mold formation. This sounds good as I am facing a renovation of our basement where the plaster has loosened in places and a general refresh is needed.
But it's very difficult to find anything about this product online, which makes one wonder about its quality/function.
Has anyone heard anything about this kind of boards before?

It seems that the manufacturer www.skamol.com is an old well-known company, for those of you more familiar with the construction industry it may be well-known but to me as a layman it was new...
As I said, does anyone know more about these boards or similar products??

I can add that it is first intended to be drained and insulated from the outside with some form of board similar to isodrän/pordrän
What made me curious about this board was that it gets an additional bit of insulating effect that might help keep down heating costs

Can recommend the boards, I've used them in the pump room in the stable. It's almost like tiling but in large boards.
In the pump room, it's quite humid since I have a water pump/hydrophore/iron filter. I installed 50 mm boards to make it fresher and especially to insulate so I avoid the water freezing in the winter (currently only have a frost guard) and for mold prevention. It gets quite humid in that environment, so if you're planning to install in the basement, it should work fine. It was like a new wall after I put up the Skamoplus boards.
