Structure
Stucco from Eunice Teplon contains gypsum. This is the main component of the product. The composition of the material is enhanced by additional components that increase the mechanical strength of the coating, increase the pour point and improve the adhesive properties of the material.
Features
Thermon plaster has the following properties:
- good adhesion to any type of building base;
- masks deep cracks;
- eliminates large surface drops;
- the possibility of applying a layer, 3 cm thick, without reinforcing the building base;
- can be used to align the ceiling;
- resistance to mechanical stress;
- thermal insulation of the surface;
- fire resistance;
- long operational period without deformation and cracking.
The mixture of plaster Teplon has a significant drawback - the lack of moisture resistance. For this reason, the product can not be used for facade decoration and in rooms with high humidity.
Types of material
The stucco mixture Teplon is classified as follows:
- White material. The composition is recommended for use under a translucent topcoat. White Teplon Unis plaster does not affect the color of the decorative material. Consumption is 5 kg per 1 m2 of surface with a layer thickness of 5 mm. The disadvantage is the high price.
- Gray material. Such material is used for an opaque finish, since the composition may distort the shade of the decorating product. Teplon gray plaster has a consumption of 4.5 kg per 1 m2 of surface with a layer thickness of 5 mm.
- Gray-beige product. The product acquires a beige tint due to the polymer components in the composition. Such elements are added to the moisture resistance agent. This allows the product to be used in rooms with high humidity. Consumption is 6 kg per 1 m2 of surface with a layer thickness of 5 mm.
Application area
Plaster Teplon is relevant in the following cases:
- if you need to perform plastering without reinforcing the surface;
- before painting the construction base;
- with large surface drops;
- in the presence of cracks and other defects on a building basis;
- before installing ceramic tiles.
Building foundations for which the material is used:
- brickwork;
- gypsum;
- foam and aerated concrete;
- concrete.
Advantages and disadvantages of the material
Advantages of Teplon plaster from the Eunice company:
- plasticity, which facilitates the application and makes the material accessible for use by unprofessional finishers who perform DIY finishing;
- economical consumption;
- leveling the surface without the need for putty;
- creating an indoor microclimate comfortable for living;
- soundproofing;
- elasticity.
Material disadvantages:
- the finished solution must be used within 50 minutes after preparation, otherwise the product will harden;
- low strength compared to other plasters based on cement;
- lack of moisture-resistant properties, with the exception of gray-beige composition, which makes it impossible to use the product for facade decoration and in rooms with high humidity.
Packaging and cost of product
The material is released in paper bags weighing 15 and 30 kg. The cost depends on the weight and type of product. The approximate price for a bag of 30 kg is 300 rubles.
Terms of use
Plastering walls with Teplon, the video confirms this, is applied easily and quickly. The main thing is to adhere to the technique of using the material.
Surface preparation
The algorithm for preparing the surface for plastering:
- Remove the old coating (as in the photo below).
- Check the construction base for strength - to do this, tap the walls or ceiling with a hammer. Where the material falls off, deepen the defect, expand and free from contamination.
- Brush surfaces with a broom or brush to remove all dust.
- Clean the base from oil stains with a solvent.
- Wait for the surface to dry and apply a primer - the primer base is treated twice. After each application, take a break to dry the composition.
- Fix the guides on the surface, the distance between which should be 20 cm less than the length of the rule.
Cooking product
Thermal plaster needs to be prepared, instructions for mixing the solution:
- pour water into a clean bucket and add the mixture - the proportions indicate on the package;
- stir the composition with an industrial mixer or a drill with a mixer nozzle;
- leave for five minutes, stir the product again and proceed with plastering.
Application Technique
If Teplon plaster is used for decoration, the instructions for use will be as follows:
- throw the product on a building foundation with a trowel or trowel and level the composition with the rule;
- take an hour to dry the solution;
- level the composition with the rule on the surface;
- evaluate the quality of the finish using the level; if there are bulges, cut them off;
- dismantle the beacons and fill the voids with a solution, leveling the product with a spatula;
- wait for the product to solidify, moisten the surfaces and clean the base with a construction grater;
- primer the base and apply a decorative coating.
