Surface Preparation            :

The surfaces shall be clear of substances that may prevent adherence such as surface molding grease, dust, dirt, paint, detergent, etc. All imperfections on the surface shall be repaired with Parexgroup repair plaster before the product is applied or should be undercoated with Geseras EM2. Further, the thermal insulation panel should be dry and clean before affixing.

Application                :

  • Slowly pour 25 kg’s of Optimum Thermal Insulation Panel Plaster to the mixing container and mix with a slow-speed mixer until a homogenous and pellet-free mixture is obtained. Wait for 10 minutes for settling, and then mix for another 1-2 minutes then apply.
  • The adhesive mortar should be applied to the circumference of the thermal insulation panel with a trowel 4-5 cm wide and 1 cm thick. Apply to the middle parts of the panel point to point. If the panel is made out of stone wool, after the application, the adhesive mortar should be scrapped off and then the rock wool panel should be undercoated by rubbing the product on the panel again with the help of a trowel.
  • Do not apply the adhesive mortar to the corners and sides of the panels.
  • The prepared panels shall be arranged by touching each other by placing the panel to the sub-basement profile with a little pressure to the surface and from bottom up.
  • Affixing shall be carried out with the help of a jig and by tightly pressing the panel to the surface in order to form a smooth surface.
  • The application shall not be carried out under direct sunlight, rain and during heavy winds.
  • The prepared mortar shall be used within maximum 3 hour’s time.
