Teplon. Plaster that will both warm the house and save money

Decorating interior walls and ceilings is a labor-intensive 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 excellent 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;
• use of the solution is possible 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 on the wall or ceiling, it was not necessary to apply additional finishing layers. 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 is 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 last a long time and show all its positive characteristics, the room must be dry and heated. The ready-made gypsum mixture is ideal 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 best as possible. Putty can be applied to it, 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, a 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 influences 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, and also everything that can subsequently 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 adhere better 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 correct 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 taken into account before starting work. Firstly, in order for the solution to be of high quality, it is necessary to observe the proportions indicated by the manufacturer.

For mixing, use an electric tool, 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. This 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 simplest 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, it is necessary to wait about an hour, after which it is necessary to process the surface using the rule, 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 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 mix is ​​the fastest to apply 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. Due to this, the maximum working speed and high quality surface treatment are achieved.

Benefits of using

This mixture is versatile. That is why it can be applied both in a classical way and in a hardware manner. 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 by 3-4 times.

For example, we can say that a team of 4 craftsmen 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 the built-in programs.

Thus, eunice solutions with the addition of perlite are excellent for all kinds of interior finishing work. The ready-made composition ideally fits on all existing surfaces, and can also be used as a backing 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.

Teplon plaster, the technical characteristics of which are distinguished by their excellent performance indicators, are very often used in repair and construction work. This plaster-based mixture allows the surface to be prepared before further finishing, creating a perfectly flat surface.

Technical specifications

Teplon plaster is a dry building mix based on gypsum. The composition includes various additives that give the material improved performance. The plaster is intended for interior work.

The technical characteristics of the composition are as follows:

1. Strength - 2.5 MPa.
2. The adhesion to the surface is 0.1 MPa.
3. The optimum layer thickness is 0.5-5 cm. If it is necessary to obtain a thick layer, the plastering process should be carried out in several stages.
4. Frost resistance - 35 cycles.
5. Colors - gray and white (Teplon plaster of white and gray colors slightly differ in the values ​​of individual parameters, which must be taken into account when purchasing). The tone may vary slightly depending on the cast. The final color can be seen after the mortar has dried.
6. Thermal conductivity - 0.23 W / m * ˚С.
7. Adhesion (stickiness) - 1.0 kgf / sq. Cm.
8. Work temperature - + 5 ... + 30˚С.
9. Average consumption with a layer thickness of 0.5 cm - 4-4.5 kg / sq. M.
10. The pot life of the solution is 50 minutes.
11. The setting time is 50-180 minutes.
12. Drying time for a layer 1 cm thick is 5-7 days.

Unis Teplon plaster has a high level of moisture absorption (capable of absorbing moisture up to 400% of its own weight), which must be taken into account when using it. Therefore, it cannot be used for exterior decoration, as well as for leveling the walls in the bathroom.

The composition quickly gains strength and is lightweight. The dried layer is resistant to cracking. Low thermal conductivity allows you to keep warm inside the room.

Yunis Teplon plaster is used for plastering walls and ceilings, including without a reinforcing mesh, for preparing walls for painting, facing with ceramic tiles, for eliminating irregularities up to 7 cm deep.After processing, the surface acquires a smooth glossy surface that does not need to be putty.

The mixture can be used to treat surfaces made of wood, brick, gypsum, aerated concrete blocks and aerated concrete. When mixed, the solution has a homogeneous consistency, which makes it easy to apply.

It should be noted that there are various mixtures. Before buying, you should look through the product catalog, after which you should purchase a building mixture.

The Yunis plaster is produced in bags weighing 15 kg and 30 kg. Store the material in a dry place in closed packaging. The mortar can be stored for up to 12 months.

Application technology

The work process consists of several stages:

1. Surface preparation. If this process is carried out poorly or if you skip it altogether, the quality of the plaster layer will be very low. In addition, there is a possibility of cracks and pieces of material falling off. The surface must be dry, free from dirt and dust, durable. All crumbling areas should be removed, cleaned up. To obtain a stronger layer to a depth of 2-3 mm, you can install a reinforcing mesh. For better adhesion of the plaster to the surface, it is recommended to treat it with a primer. Aerated concrete and foam concrete blocks should be treated with a compound in several layers.
2. Mixing the solution. When preparing the solution, the proportions should be strictly observed. Otherwise, the mixture will turn out to be too thin or thick, which will lead to difficulties in work. The dry mixture must be poured into a container, and not vice versa. The solution is thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous composition is obtained, without lumps. To obtain a high-quality solution, it is better to use a drill with a special mixer nozzle. When mixing the composition, it should be remembered that its viability is only 50 minutes, after which the adhesion decreases sharply, it is no longer worth using the solution.
3. Applying Eunice plaster to the surface. The room temperature should be + 5 ... + 30 degrees. The solution should be poured onto the surface with a trowel or spatula, left for 1 hour, and then leveled with a rule, remove protuberances, align grooves. After 1.5-2 hours, the surface should be wetted with water and trowelled. After that, the plaster is left to dry completely.

Advantages and disadvantages

Teplon Yunis plaster has positive and negative properties. The benefits include:

• economical consumption;
• obtaining a smooth and glossy surface that does not require further filler;
• low thermal conductivity;
• plasticity, lightness, which greatly facilitates the process of applying the solution.

Despite the numerous advantages, Eunice plasters also have a number of disadvantages, which should include:

• low viability (50 minutes), as a result of which it is required to mix a small amount of solution, which is not very convenient for large processing areas;
• low moisture resistance, which limits the area of ​​use of the material.

Thus, Eunice Teplon plaster is a material ideal for leveling surfaces before further finishing.

It also allows you to eliminate various disadvantages in the form of cracks, chips. However, it should be remembered that Eunice mortar is only suitable for indoor work with normal humidity levels.

BENEFITS:

Flexible and easy to use;

Glossing is possible;

Normalizes indoor humidity;

Smooth surface without filling;

High heat saving + sound insulation;

Due to its lightness, it significantly reduces the load on the base and allows you to eliminate even deep irregularities (leveling differences up to 70 mm);

Application without plaster mesh on walls - with a layer of up to 50 mm (when filling recesses - up to 70 mm), on ceilings - up to 30 mm Allows to significantly simplify work on leveling surfaces;

High vapor permeability;

During the production of work and during operation, it does not emit substances harmful to human health and the environment, contributes to the creation of a favorable microclimate in the room;

Shrinkage and crack resistance.

It is used on concrete, aerated concrete, gypsum, cement-sandy bases, brickwork, as well as other non-deformable bases.

Substrate preparation:

When carrying out work, as well as during the drying period of the solution, the air temperature in the room should be observed in the range from +5 ° C to +30 ° C and the air humidity level is not more than 75%. The base must be flat, strong, dry and load-bearing. Before applying the material, remove loose elements, paint coatings and any other contamination from the surface. The surface must be treated with UNIS primer in one or two layers; uneven and highly absorbent substrates (gas silicate, foam concrete, etc.) - in several layers. The UNIS primer is selected according to the type of substrate. Dusting of primed surfaces is not allowed.

Plastering should be carried out only after the primed surface has completely dried. All irregularities, potholes, cracks with a depth of more than 50 mm must be pre-filled with TEPLON plaster in several layers. The thickness of each layer with a continuous leveling of the surface should not exceed 50 mm, with a layer over 50 mm, it is recommended to use a plaster mesh.

For thick-layer leveling on the prepared base using TEPLON plaster, install the beacons at a distance of 20-30 cm less than the length of the used rule. The correctness of the installation of beacons is checked by the level. After the mortar fixing the beacons has hardened, you can continue to work.

Solution preparation:

To prepare the solution, pour the dry mixture into a container with clean water (for 1 kg of dry mixture 0.45-0.55 l) and stir for 1-3 minutes until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Mixing is carried out in a mechanized way - a professional mixer with a nozzle at low speed.

Manual mixing is allowed when the mass of the mixed mixture is not more than 1 kg. Let the solution stand for 5 minutes and stir again. After that, the solution is ready for use. The prepared portion of the solution must be consumed no later than 50 minutes after mixing.

When preparing the solution, it is necessary to observe the ratio "dry mixture - water". It is not allowed to add any components other than water to the dry mixture. Adding any components to the ready-made solution, including water, leads to a change in the material properties declared by the manufacturer. To prepare the solution, use only clean containers and tools.

Application:

The prepared solution is applied to the surface with a trowel or spatula within 20-30 minutes after mixing, then leveled with a rule. The layer of application of the plaster mixture without the use of plaster mesh on the walls is from 5 to 50 mm and up to 70 mm when filling the recesses, for ceilings - from 5 to 30 mm. At the moment the mortar begins to set (50-60 minutes after mixing the mixture), trim the applied layer as a rule, removing the excess and filling the grooves. The resulting surface, after final drying, is suitable for bonding ceramic tiles.

In the presence of differences of more than 50 mm, preliminary leveling of the surface is carried out using the Teplon plaster mixture. For this, the plaster mixture is applied in several layers, each layer is laid with a plaster mesh. Installation of beacons for applying pre-leveling layers is not required. Application of Teplon plaster in several layers is possible without using a plaster mesh, for this, cross-shaped notches are applied on a seized, but not yet hardened layer of plaster (50-60 minutes after mixing) using a comb or a notched trowel.

The thickness of each layer, if it is necessary to level out significant (more than 50 mm) differences, should not exceed 30 mm. Before applying a new layer of plaster mixture, it is necessary to wait until the previous layer is completely dry and treat the surface with UNIS primer.

Smoothing and glossing:

Depending on the thickness of the applied layer, in 90-120 minutes after cutting, moisten the surface with water, rub with a spongy float and smooth out with gypsum milk that has protruded onto the surface using a spatula or trowel. The resulting surface, after drying, is suitable for wallpapering or painting.

Avoid contact with skin, eyes, respiratory system;

Keep out of the reach of children;

In case of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical advice immediately.

Most often, plaster mixes are used for interior decoration. They are easily and quickly applied, while such formulations are at an affordable price. In addition, plaster is a versatile material for preparing bathroom walls and other rooms for finishing. The leader in dry mortar sales is Unis. One of the most popular formulations from this company is Teplon, a gypsum-based plaster. Let's consider the features of this material and start, of course, with the pros and cons.

Advantages and disadvantages

Modern gypsum plaster Yunis Teplon compares favorably with:

• Good vapor permeability, due to which a healthy microclimate is created in the room.
• Low thermal conductivity. A heat-insulating layer is created on the surface, which enhances the heat-shielding characteristics of the premises.
• Environmentally friendly. The composition of Teplon gypsum plaster includes synthetic and natural components that cannot be harmful to health.
• Profitability.
• No shrinkage and cracking.
• Ease of application.
• Low weight, due to which the load on the plane of the processed surface is significantly reduced.
• Fast adhesion.
• No need to use a finishing putty. The treated surface will be slightly glossy, so no additional finishing is required.

However, despite its many advantages, this formulation has a low pot life (material must be used in 50 minutes). Also, some builders note the reduced strength of the material. However, they are usually compared with more expensive drywall, to which Teplon is somewhat inferior in technical characteristics. In addition, the compositions of these materials also differ, so it is not entirely correct to compare them.

Teplon composition

The main component of the mixture is gypsum, which acts as a connecting link. In addition, Teplona contains a natural material - perlite, which is an expanded crumb of natural mica. Thanks to this component, the plaster retains heat. In addition, perlite makes the mixture very light and accelerates the hardening process. On the other hand, it is precisely because of this component that the plaster cannot be used for outdoor work.

In addition to the fine-grained filler, synthetic additives are added to the mixture.

In terms of its composition, Eunice products practically do not differ from similar compositions of Knauf Rotband. Therefore, it is impossible to say that Rotband or Teplon is better. True, after all, there are several differences:

• Eunice is a Russian manufacturer and Knauf is a German company.
• The cost of domestic putty will be approximately 60 rubles lower.

In all other respects, these are two identical compositions. Therefore, you choose - Teplon or Rotband. If we talk about the properties of these compounds, then they are also no different.

Properties and cost of Teplon

Before moving on to finishing work, it will be useful to familiarize yourself with the technical characteristics and properties of gypsum plaster:

• The strength is 2.5 MPa per 1 cm 2. At the same time, the plaster can withstand a pressure of more than 25 kg. By the way, the strength characteristics of the same drywall are not much more (3-5 MPa).
• The maximum layer thickness for ceilings is 3 cm, and for walls 5 cm. However, it is better to apply the plaster in a layer of about 0.5-0.7 cm. If you want to increase the thickness of the finishing material, then you can use a reinforcing mesh.
• Frost hardiness - F35.
• Colors. The plaster is available in two colors - white and gray. It should be borne in mind that the white mixture may slightly differ from the gray composition in its properties, therefore, before using it, be sure to read the annotation on the package.
• Thermal conductivity of Teplon is 0.23 W / m o C.
• Adhesion. The solution adheres well to the surface. The adhesion level is 1.0 kgf / cm 2. Due to this, when applying a layer of up to 0.7 cm, you will not have to use a reinforcing mesh.
• Moisture absorption. Gypsum plaster, which contains perlite, absorbs moisture very well.
• Consumption for 10 kg is about 4.5-5.5 kg of Teplon. The mixtures are sold in packs of 15 and 30 kg. If we talk about the consumption per 1 m 2, then no more than 8.5-10 kg of the mixture will be spent on the "square". At a cost, this will be about 130 rubles.

If we talk about the cost of mixtures, then:

• Yunis Teplon white plaster will cost 150 rubles for a 15 kg package and about 340 rubles for a 30-kilogram bag.
• The gray composition costs a little less from 278 to 310 for 30 kg.

Before buying, it is worth deciding on the scope of work and clarifying whether the selected composition is suitable for a particular room.

Areas of use of plaster

Excellent technical characteristics of the mixture allow it to be used for various finishing works. Most often it is used for leveling and finishing surfaces in residential premises and medical institutions with normal humidity levels. This composition can be safely used in children's bedrooms, since it does not contain caustic or toxic substances.

Teplon can be applied to any surface: brick, cement-sand, wood, gypsum, concrete and foam concrete.

The only condition is that you cannot use plaster for the bathroom if it will act as a finishing layer. Teplon can be applied only under the tiles. Otherwise, there are no restrictions on use.

After purchasing the plaster, you need to study the instructions for use and you can start surface treatment.

How to apply Teplon

At the first stage, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work. To do this, remove old plaster and wallpaper from the treated surface. Also, the walls need to be rinsed and dried. All "growths" must be cut off. Despite the fact that the composition has good adhesion, it is recommended to apply small incisions to the surface. After that, the walls must be covered with a primer (2-3 layers) and diluted with Teplon's solution.

Preparation of the mixture

Dilute the solution in accordance with the proportions indicated on the package. The standard ratio is 1 kg of plaster per 0.45-0.55 liters of water. However, if you are using white plaster, then the volume of water must be increased to 1.8-2.2 liters.

Healthy! If there is too much water, then the solution will simply spread over the surface. If you are greedy with water, then the diluted composition will begin to crack.

The mixture must be thoroughly mixed with water, it is best if you have an electric mixer or a drill with an appropriate attachment at hand. After mixing, the solution must be infused for 5-6 minutes, after which the plaster is re-mixed.

It is recommended to prepare the mixture in small portions. Some people believe that it is better to make a large volume of material at once, so as not to suffer sweat with constant stirring and waiting. In this case, this approach will not work. The "life" of the plaster is only 50 minutes (it is recommended to keep within half an hour), after this time the batch will become unusable. If you use an already "expired" material, the coating will be very fragile. After a while, such plaster will simply crumble.

Plastering

To apply the prepared solution to the wall, it is enough to use a trowel or a spatula (preferably of different sizes). It is best to purchase tools that are made of stainless steel.

Healthy! You can use the mixture only at a temperature of +5 to +30 degrees.

After the composition has been applied to the surface, it is necessary to process it with a rule in order to remove all irregularities. After a few hours, the plaster will harden.

If you used white plaster, then 1.5-2 hours after its application, you need to walk over the surface with a spongy float.

After that, you need to wait about a week until the composition completely hardens. Complete drying is calculated based on the fact that a 10 mm layer will completely harden in 5-7 days at a temperature of +22 degrees and normal humidity.

In custody

Eunice Teplon is one of the highest quality plasters, which is distinguished by its durability, low cost and excellent performance characteristics. Using this mixture will allow you to significantly save on finishing work.
