Foam-foam "Technonikol" for expanded polystyrene

At carrying out of the majority of civil work today mounting foams which are made by different manufacturers are used. However, one of the most popular is Technonikol, which is known to the consumer for its quality products. She has been on the market for quite some time, during this time managed to become a leader in her field.

An example of the above mentioned material can be a glue-foam brand "Technonikol", which has a wide range of uses and has outstanding characteristics.

Description

Foam-foam "Technonikol" is intended for fixing canvases from expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene foam to the base when installing insulation to the internal and external walls of buildings, foundations, roofs, floors, cellars. This material is used for new and reconstructed buildings. Adhesive foam can be used for temporary fixation of XPS and EPS boards to vertical surfaces indoors. Here you can include balconies, loggias and interior partitions.

Additional scope of use

For insulation of facades, slabs are also often fixed to vertical surfaces, this will be helped by the described adhesive foam. When warming foundations and socles, as well as sealing the slots between the insulation plates used glue-foam brand "Technonikol", it perfectly adheres to various materials.

Consumption of the formulation

Foam-foam "Technonikol" is characterized by excellent resistance to aging, moisture and mold. Good adhesion to cement plasters, concrete and other mineral bases. High adhesion is noted with wood chipboards, wood, as well as OSB plates. As for the expense, we can talk about cylinders of different volumes. If this parameter is 750 ml, then its volume will be enough for an area limited to 10-12 m ² . The balloon, having a volume of 400 ml, will leave for a coating of 4 m ² .

The "Tehnonikol" glue foam is also consumed depending on the weight of the binder. In a large tank, its content is 600 grams, while in a small container it is equal to 260 grams. If we take into account that the degree of evacuation of the binder from the balloon is 85%, then the consumption for cylinders of different capacities is not a multiple of the volume. Use this composition is necessary for a limited temperature range from 0 to 35 ° C.

Feedback on the main advantages

If you still have not decided whether to buy glue-foam of the brand "Technonikol", then you should become more familiar with the reviews, from which you can learn the main advantages of this material. Among them, consumers distinguish:

• Ease of use;
• Reduction of the time of work execution;
• Low consumption;
• Minimal secondary expansion;
• Excellent resistance to aging, mold and moisture;
• Reliable and fast fixation;
• Low thermal conductivity.

Method of attachment

Foam-foam "Technonikol" should be used by a certain technology. The balloon should be installed with the valve upwards on the base, then the protective cap is removed, and the valve must be aligned with the pistol seat. Once the balloon has been placed in the gun, it should be vigorously shaken. Before installing the plates on the surface it is necessary to install a fixing profile, and the first row of insulation material will rest on it.

It is necessary to apply the composition in the cylinder position upwards, the distance between the plate and the gun should be preserved, only this way it will be possible to correctly apply the mixture. It takes about 2 cm to leave the edge of the plate, then the foam should be applied with separate stripes, the width of which should be 3 cm. Through the center of the slab, one more strip must be stretched, the distances from it to the long sides should be equal at the sides.

When the "Technonikol" glue foam for styrofoam is applied to the surface, wait approximately 5 minutes before fully expanding the composition. The material is fixed on a vertical surface. The plate is installed in place, it needs to be pressed slightly. The plate is fixed until the mixture is set. Cloths should be installed close to each other, while it is necessary to observe the spreading of seams. Between the canvases there should be a gap, the width of which does not exceed 2 mm. "Technonikol" glue-foam allows to adjust the position of panels within a period of 5 to 20 minutes after installation, everything will depend on the conditions of the environment. In order to exclude the formation of cold bridges, larger gaps should be filled with polystyrene cuttings, as well as glue-foam.

Physico-mechanical characteristics

You may be interested in some of the technical characteristics of the material described above. For example, the degree of evacuation of content is 85% or more. The polymerization process will begin approximately 15 minutes after application. Cures the mixture for 2 hours if the outside air temperature is 20 ° C, and the relative humidity does not drop below 50%. The time of full curing is 24 hours, but no more. After the completion of this step, the density of the material will be 25 g / cm ³ . If you get the "Tehnonikol 500" glue-foam universal, you may be interested in the thermal conductivity of the composition, it is 0.035 W / mK with a concrete surface. The bond strength is 0.4 MPa, as for expanded polystyrene, the adhesion level is equivalent to 0.09 MPa.

What else you need to know about the glue-foam "Technonikol"

Before applying glue-foam, the surface must be cleaned of dust and dirt. If you want to speed up the curing process, as well as provide higher adhesion, then the working surface is pre-moistened. Shaking of the balloon before use should occur within 30 seconds. If there are excess glues, then you can get rid of them with a foam cleaner of the same manufacturer.

When the glue dries, protect it from direct sunlight. The "Technonikol" glue foam, the consumption of which was presented above, should be stored in an upright position, while the temperature of the outside air can vary from +5 to 35 ° C. Conditions must be dry. Lowering the temperature to -20 ° C is permissible, but under such conditions, the cylinders can be stored for 1 week or less. Do not use the formulation after the warranty period of storage, which is 12 months.

Glue foam "Technonikol", reviews about which often only the most positive, can be transported by any means of transport, the height of the folding of cylinders is necessary in one row. For transportation, you need to choose covered vehicles.

Conclusion

Adhesive foam has a wide range of uses. It can be used for mounting boards made of gypsum board and expanded polystyrene. The composition can be used in residential, public, as well as industrial buildings, apartments and private homes. This mixture can become part of the elements of walls and partitions.

As the application surface, plaster, concrete, wood, as well as chipboard can be used. After curing, the thermal stability varies from -60 to +100 ° C. At 23 ° C, film formation occurs after 8 minutes, while the relative humidity should be 50%.
