Unis plaster teplon. Application of teplon unis gypsum plaster

For decoration of premises and alignment of walls and ceilings, each owner wants to use only high-quality materials that are safe for their own family. TEPLON gypsum plaster from the Unis company fully complies with these requirements.

Specifications

Teplon 30 kg

The natural ingredients of Teplona do not cause allergic reactions and do not emit harmful substances. Thanks to the use of a special mineral called "perlite", the plaster has increased thermal insulation properties. The material has a high degree of vapor permeability and does not allow liquid to remain inside, releasing water vapor through the pores to the outside.

TEPLON plaster has a light weight, the load on the treated surface is much lower than when using analogues. Thanks to this property, it is ideal even for balcony floors, where the weight of the finish plays a significant role.

Gypsum mix easily copes with any defects on the surface. It smoothes perfectly to a glossy sheen, ideal for finishing materials that need a smooth surface without imperfections: paint or wallpaper, not to mention tiling. The composition should be applied indoors with a humidity level of no more than 75%.

If it is necessary to apply TEPLON plaster in a room with high humidity, then tiles must be used for cladding, and the joints between them must be thoroughly rubbed.

Application features

Bag 15kg

With its low weight, the finishing material boasts high strength. This allows you to apply a five centimeter layer of the solution over the entire area. In this case, it is not necessary to use various reinforcing meshes for better adhesion. TEPLON has increased adhesive properties. It will cope with the repair of deep potholes on the surface.

If the first layer is not enough, then, also, without using meshes for better adhesion, you can apply a second layer, the thickness of which can reach 3 cm. In order for the layers to be securely fastened, it is enough to "draw" a notch in the form of a mesh with a spatula. how the mortar starts to set.

The absence of the need to use additional materials will save money and reduce repair time.

As mentioned above, TEPLON is suitable for work on the ceiling. The algorithm of actions and the technology of laying does not differ from the application on vertical surfaces, but the layer thickness should be no more than 3 cm. The use of TEPLON for work on the ceiling not only facilitates the application, but also saves from the risk of collapse of the frozen mixture due to rapid drying.

Other types of mortar are heavy and have a longer drying time, which implies the risk of plaster flaking and falling off, which is life-threatening. The coating does not need putty, you can give it smoothness at the grouting stage, then you can immediately start finishing.

Plaster "Teplon" reviews of people

Align

Marina S., 29 years old. “My husband and I decided to align the walls in our new apartment. The seller advised Teplon. They decided to apply themselves, although both had not done anything like this before. We looked at the correct technology on the Internet, did it, everything worked out. The mass is plastic, easy to apply. Now we will use only this plaster. "

Sergey V., 46 years old. “I plastered many times before, the ceiling began to crumble in the room, I decided to fix the problems myself. I heard about TEPLON before, I took it for finishing. It is convenient to work for them, quickly grasps, and smoothes perfectly. I think I need to paint now "

Ildar S., 32 years old. “To be honest, I ordered TEPLON because of the price. I doubted a little, the quality of the plaster is still an order of magnitude more expensive, but the result exceeded expectations. I especially liked the fact that no mesh is needed for better grip. It keeps well, and most importantly, it turns out quickly in time. "

Solution preparation

To prepare the composition, you need to add water to the dishes and pour the powder at the rate of 450-550 gr. liquid per kilogram of powder. The mixture must be thoroughly mixed with a construction mixer until the mass becomes homogeneous. Stir the plaster again after 5 minutes.

It is important to remember that it is strictly forbidden to add any components other than water to the solution. This will lead to a violation of the properties of the plaster, and it may collapse.

You need to use the ready-made composition no more than 50 minutes from the moment of preparation.

Application of Teplon plaster

At the time of the work on the application of the solution, as well as while it is solidifying, it is necessary to maintain a normal level of humidity, and the temperature interval should be from +5 to +30 degrees.

Prepare the surface before plastering. It must be clean and dry. It is necessary to remove all crumbling and flaking areas of the previous coating, the old paint must also be removed, and it is imperative to get rid of greasy stains, if any. Run your palm over the surface, and if dust remains on it, then the base must be thoroughly cleaned.

After that, you need to treat the surface with a soil solution from the company "Yunis". Depending on the type of substrate, apply one or several layers of primer: brick and concrete - in one or two layers, and porous materials need to be impregnated more thoroughly. Each layer of mortar must dry before the next is applied.

You only need to use a primer that is designed to work with a specific type of substrate.

If there are dents and cracks on the surface more than a couple of centimeters deep, then they must be filled with a plaster mixture. Only after two days can you start the next stage of work.

You will need beacons to level the base. To set them correctly, you need to mark the highest point with a level. Then, having marked in advance the place of attachment, a small amount of plaster is applied. A lighthouse is attached to it. Then, using a level, the profile is leveled and sunk into the solution. Lighthouses are installed in 1.5-2 meter increments. This distance should be 20 centimeters less than the length of the rule.

The plaster must be applied with a trowel, then the excess mortar must be removed and leveled using the rule. The thickness of the layer without plaster mesh should not exceed 5 cm.

About an hour later, after the composition begins to set, the surface must be treated with the rule again, filling in the irregularities and removing excess plaster. After such a procedure, the coating will be even and smooth, and you can apply a finish to it.

Due to the fact that the use of TEPLON gypsum plaster will save you from the need to purchase additional consumables, such as reinforcing mesh, putty, significant sums are saved at each stage of construction and repair work.

Fast drying allows you to start the next steps much faster than using other mixtures, which means that the repair time will be reduced. If you use the services of a team that estimates the cost of work by the hour, then you can save on this.

The average cost of a package of a gypsum mixture weighing 30 kg is about 360 rubles. The price of TEPLON plaster from "Eunice" of the same packing is 270 rubles. It would seem that the difference is only 90 rubles. What if you need 50 bags?

With the high quality of the material, the economic side of the issue also remains attractive.

Decorating interior walls and ceilings is a laborious process, and its result directly depends on the quality of the materials used. If you use teplon plaster to level the surfaces, then you can be sure of the successful completion of the work performed.

  • thermal insulation properties due to light perlite;
  • dries quickly;
  • does not require additional application of putty.

Thanks to this, this plaster has proven itself well among craftsmen. At the same time, it requires less time to build strength, which undoubtedly speeds up the work.

Material features

The characteristics of building materials directly depend on their composition. Teplon is perfect for interior work of varying complexity, as it has a number of important qualities:

  • the optimal consumption per square meter when applying a layer of 1 cm is no more than 10 kg;
  • can be used for deep cracks up to 7 cm;
  • when finishing the ceiling, the thickness of the layer can reach 30 mm, and on the wall without a grid - up to 50 mm;
  • the solution can be used within 50 minutes after its preparation.

In addition, the plaster has excellent performance properties: the ready-made gypsum mixture applied to any surface dries completely after 180 minutes. At the same time, Unis also made sure that after using its product, no additional finishing layers were required on the wall or ceiling. In this case, the teplon not only quickly sets and does not crack, but also forms a smooth glossy surface, which after a short period of time is ready for further processing.

Application area

Unis mixtures are famous for being used to solve a large number of construction and repair tasks. It should be noted that this plaster is used for interior work on any grounds. It can be easily fixed on concrete, reinforced concrete, foam concrete, brick. Teplon can be used with gas silicate. Old plaster can also act as a base.

In order for the frozen surface to serve for a long time and show all its positive characteristics, the room must be dry and heated. The ready-made gypsum mix is \u200b\u200bideal for a wide range of premises from offices to residential buildings.

If construction and repair work involves further finishing, then this composition will show itself as well as possible. It can be putty on, although due to its properties it can do without a topcoat. The only exception for this type of building mixture is decorative plaster, which cannot be applied to heat. If in the future it is planned to glue textured wallpaper, the gypsum mixture will be the best choice.

One of the important advantages of the composition of this class is special certification, which allows it to be used in buildings of medical and educational institutions. This significantly expands the scope of the material and suggests that the heat is safe and has excellent performance characteristics.

What does the use of perlite in the mixture give?

The plaster contains an interesting component - perlite. It is made from mica, which, under the influence of high temperatures, increases its volume and decreases its density. Perlite affects the physical characteristics of the dried surface in the following way: firstly, as an auxiliary element, it lightens the mixture. Secondly, it improves noise and heat insulation properties, which saves on additional materials.

These qualities are perfectly combined with vapor permeability. Due to this, the gypsum mixture "breathes", and, accordingly, does not collect excess moisture, which can contribute to the formation of cracks and internal destruction of surfaces. Thus, the manufacturer made sure that this building mixture has excellent performance characteristics and does not require additional protective layers on top.

Necessary preparatory work

After the heat hardens, it forms a flat, smooth surface without cracks or irregularities. However, it is worth considering one point: if the substrate is incorrectly prepared, the result of the work may be nullified.

One of the main requirements for the base on which the gypsum mixture will subsequently be applied is the absence of excess moisture. In addition, the ability of the substrate to support the weight of the finish should be checked. Of course, due to the use of pearlite as an auxiliary component, the composition turns out to be lightweight, but you still need to make sure that the substrate can withstand the applied layer (and it can be up to 50 mm).

Another important task that must be performed before using the Unice mixture is to clean the surface from dust, dirt, as well as everything that can later peel off or peel off. To do this, in most cases, it is enough to walk with a hard sandpaper.

In order for the gypsum mixture, diluted with water, to better adhere to the substrate, a notch in the form of a grid can be applied to it. The depth of the grooves should be no more than 3 mm, and this can be done with any sharp object, for example, a knife. Due to this uncomplicated action, the solution will penetrate deeper into the material that will be under it.

For the same purpose, it is necessary to choose the right primer. First, it must match the base material. Secondly, it is advisable to take deeply penetrating species. At the same time, some bases (foam or aerated concrete), which absorb moisture quite strongly, often have to be primed several times.

How to prepare a solution for application to various surfaces?

The complex composition that this plaster has determines the presence of several simple but important rules. They should be considered before starting work. Firstly, in order for the solution to be of high quality, the proportions indicated by the manufacturer must be observed.

For mixing, an electric tool is used, for example, a special mixer with appropriate attachments. It is advisable to carry out this process in several stages in order to leave a little time at the very beginning and let the solution brew. After that, you can re-mix the solution, bringing it to the desired consistency.

It should be taken into account that the gypsum component provides a fairly fast solidification of the solution. That is why it must be used within 50 minutes, even if special retarders have been added. If the composition has hardened, then it is impossible to reuse it in work, diluting it with water. It will have a reduced strength, which can lead to undesirable negative consequences.

Methods for applying the finished solution

The easiest method is manual. After preparing the Unis composition, you must use a spatula or trowel for further work. In this case, it is best to use steel tools, since they are recommended by experts and the manufacturer.

After applying the solution, you need to wait about an hour, after which it is worth using the rule to process the surface, remove the roughness, if any, and fill in the recesses. After another 30-60 minutes, the surface should be moistened and treated with a special sponge float.

Already after 3 hours after application, the composition should harden. At this stage, it is completely ready for further work, namely for painting or, for example, for wallpapering.

Of course, this procedure is quite simple, especially for a person who does it not for the first time. Despite this, it can take a lot of time, even for a team of craftsmen, if a wide scope of work is planned. In this case, modern technology comes to the rescue, which significantly reduces the working time and increases labor productivity. Eunice mixture is most quickly applied using a mechanical method, which involves the use of a special automatic mobile station.

How is the process of mechanized application of the solution on the surface going? The apparatus for performing these works is quite simple. It consists of the following components: a compressor, a special medium power screw pump, a drive unit, a chassis, and ancillary parts. There is also a compartment for mixing the solution in such a station. It is in it that the mixture is poured and water is poured.

The machine takes over the function of mixing the ingredients, so the consistency of the final composition is exactly what it should be. This is due to the fact that the process is not influenced by the human factor, and several work algorithms are already programmed inside the device.

After the plaster is ready for use, the machine feeds it into the hose under pressure. Then it enters the gun, with which it is evenly sprayed onto the surface to be treated. This achieves maximum working speed and high quality surface treatment.

Benefits of using

This mixture is versatile. That is why it can be applied both in the classical way and hardware. The difference lies in the fact that for the second method it is necessary to master the technique of working with an automatic station. However, due to the fact that the solution is supplied under pressure and in uniform portions, the work productivity increases 3-4 times.

For example, we can say that a team of 4 foremen can process from 100 to 300 square meters of surface using a special machine in 8 hours. In this case, it will be possible to manually apply no more than 25. Additionally, you can reduce the consumption of the dry part. The system mixes the solution more thoroughly and adds just as much water as necessary, controlling the proportions thanks to built-in programs.

Thus, eunice solutions with the addition of perlite are excellent for all kinds of interior finishing work. The finished composition ideally fits on all existing surfaces, and can also be used as a background for wallpaper or, for example, used for painting.

In addition, it pleases with its performance characteristics: plasticity, low weight, optimal working interval and fast solidification after its completion.

Instructions for the use of the plaster mixture "Teplon"

  • The first stage is the preparation of the solution. Do not forget to first read the instructions on the packaging. Pour the plaster mixture into a container with water (0.45-0.55 l per 1 kg of dry mix). Stir for 2-3 minutes until smooth. If you have a large volume of material, use a professional mixer or drill with a special attachment at low speeds. Leave for 5 minutes, stir again. Bingo! The mixture is ready. You now have 50 minutes (from the moment of mixing) to apply it.
  • Now let's move on to installing the beacons. They will become a guide for the thickness of the plaster (to create a flat surface) and are placed before applying the base coat. Control the location of the beacons with a level. The length of the rule should be less than the distance between them by 20-30 cm. Further work can be carried out in 3-4 hours.
  • We turn to the most important thing - applying the solution. Attention! Try to have time to apply the ready-made solution in 20-30 minutes using a spatula or trowel. Then level the surface with a building rule. If the thickness of the intended plaster layer on the wall does not go beyond 5 mm to 50 mm, ceiling plaster - 5 mm - 30 mm and up to 70 mm when filling the recesses, then the plaster mesh is not needed.
  • The plaster mixture will begin to set in 50-60 minutes from the moment the solution is prepared. At this point, the applied layer is smoothed out by the rule.
  • If the surface has irregularities exceeding 5 cm, preliminary leveling with Teplon is required. In this case, the maximum thickness of each layer is 3 cm. Before applying a new layer, wait until the previous one is completely dry.
  • After 90-120 minutes we will move on to the last part - the final leveling of the surface. Moisten the set, but not yet hardened surface with water and rub with a sponge float. Using a spatula or trowel, smooth out the protruding "gypsum milk" over the entire surface.

  • Eunice "Teplon" plaster is available in 15 and 30 kg bags.
  • Moscow, Eunice "Teplon" (white), 30 kg - from 290 rubles.

The characteristics of the plaster mixture used determine the quality of the leveled surfaces and the time spent on this very labor-intensive construction cycle. The plaster offered by the UNIS - Teplon trademark, according to the manufacturer, fully meets the highest requirements. And it has additional attractive consumer properties (thermal insulation characteristics and lightweight mixture, thanks to the natural material - perlite).

TEPLON plaster mix is \u200b\u200bproduced on the basis of a gypsum binder, which determines the advantages and limitations of the material. The gypsum binder quickly sets, which reduces the time for the strength of the plaster layer and allows you to quickly move on to the next stages of finishing work, but the low moisture resistance limits the use of such mixtures only for internal work, they cannot be used for external finishing. The composition of the TEPLON plaster mix contains a unique material - perlite. Perlite is made from a natural mineral, mica, which, after heat treatment, significantly increases in volume and acquires a very low density, which makes it a highly effective heat insulator.

TEPLON plaster with the addition of perlite is much lighter than other analogues and, moreover, provides the function of thermal protection of the room, enhancing the thermal insulation properties of the wall enclosure. Teplon is a plaster, reviews of which are mostly positive from both builders and users of the premises in which it is applied.


The most important advantage of the TEPLON plaster mixture is the high strength of the resulting coating, thanks to the gypsum binder at a low bulk density. This combination of properties makes it possible to apply a plaster layer up to five centimeters thick over the entire surface to be leveled without reinforcement with plaster nets, as well as to close individual irregularities up to seven centimeters deep.

If necessary, you can apply a repeated plaster layer up to three centimeters thick, also without fixing the base with a plaster mesh. It is enough to make a mesh notch with a spatula or a sharp object on the surface of the laid layer immediately after it has set.


TEPLON plaster can be used to level not only vertical surfaces, but also ceilings. This does not change the technology of work, although the recommended layer of material for application is reduced to three centimeters. When performing work of this type (ceiling plaster), the advantages of this material are most obvious, since the application of heavy plaster based on quartz sand and cement binders always carries the risk of obtaining a poor-quality coating. The strength of such a mixture occurs for a long time, during which the heavy layer has a weak adhesion to the base. TEPLON plaster is devoid of these drawbacks, lightweight material gains brand strength many times faster.

Technical characteristics of TEPLON plaster look quite attractive. In addition to improving the thermal insulation characteristics of the room, the lightweight plaster layer reduces the load on the building's supporting structures compared to traditional types of materials. The plaster mix quickly sets and acquires the necessary strength, speeding up the work process. Homogeneous consistency, plasticity, low weight of the material greatly facilitates the application of plaster and increases the productivity of workers. It is easy to apply, easy to smooth and level. The gypsum base of TEPLON plaster affects its visual and organoleptic characteristics. The coating has a characteristic smooth, matte and glossy surface, which does not have to be finished with finishing putties if the plaster itself is made with high quality. The absence of the need to use plaster nets and materials for the finishing stage can significantly reduce costs at the finishing stage, allowing immediately after plastering to proceed to wallpapering, ceramic tiles or painting. As a result, TEPLON Plaster, the price of which corresponds to its advantages, allows you to save at every stage of finishing work, while the cost of the entire cycle will be significantly lower than that which would cost the use of traditional plaster mixtures.

Working with TEPLON plaster

Surface preparation

UNIX TEPLON plaster creates a uniform, even, smooth surface, without the risk of shrinkage cracks, but you should be careful about the surface on which it is laid. The plaster layer itself may be flawless, but the adhesion to the surface may be insufficient, which will lead to the plaster peeling off the base. Therefore, it is extremely important to prepare the surface of the base for plastering. It must be ensured that it is strong and dry to support the future weight of the applied material. Anything that may peel off or flake off over time should be removed. The surface is dust-free, all contaminants, such as bitumen and oil, are also removed. If necessary, apply a mesh notch to the base to a depth of two to three millimeters with a sharp object. It is recommended to treat the surface with a highly penetrating primer, which guarantees sufficient adhesion to TEPLON plaster. The primer must be selected depending on the type of base and take into account that highly absorbent substrates such as foam concrete, aerated concrete must be primed several times.

Solution preparation

When preparing the plaster mortar, the proportions of the dry component and the water indicated in the instructions on the package should be strictly observed. Thorough mixing of the resulting mixture is necessary to ensure its high quality, therefore it is recommended to use an electric mixer with appropriate attachments. After the first mixing, allow the solution to consolidate for a few minutes and then mix again. Gypsum binders have a short setting time, therefore, even with retarders introduced into the mixture, it should be used within fifty minutes. It is forbidden to re-dilute the plaster mortar, since the gypsum has already reacted in it and the strength of the plaster with repeated mixing will be unacceptably low. This feature of TEPLON plaster should be taken into account.

Application of a plaster layer

The prepared solution should be applied with a trowel or a spatula on the surface to be plastered within twenty to thirty minutes. Stainless steel tools are best suited for working with it. Before the mixture starts to set, that is, about an hour after mixing, the plastered surface must be treated with the rule, cutting off the roughness and filling the grooves. Approximately one and a half to two hours after mixing, the plaster should be soaked and thoroughly treated with a sponge float. After drying, the surface of TEPLON plaster is ready for painting or wallpapering. Putty and finishing are not required.
