Eunice Teplon's plaster of her characteristic and technology of drawing

The Unis enterprise produces plaster teplon which characteristics we will consider in detail in article.

Description and properties of plaster teplon

Structures for plaster works with the name "teplon" treat plaster plaster mixes. That is, as binding substance in the course of formation of an artificial stone plaster acts. This natural mineral, being dehydrated, it napityvatsya easily and quickly by moisture, reacts with water, quickly forms crystal communications. Plaster structures are plastic, easily keep within, creating smooth surfaces.

Coverings on the basis of plaster turn out porous, vapor-permeable therefore allow free breath of walls. They a time incorporate from air indoors moisture at excess humidity, returning it when drying air. Thereby coverings from plaster actively participate in regulation of comfort. Plaster plaster teplon which characteristics mention and tactile feelings is to the touch pleasant as it is warmer than cement.

Eunice Teplon's lists which characteristics though are close, but differ a little from each other, are intended for finishing of interiors, beginning from dry living rooms, finishing rooms with variable humidity. They are eco-friendly, is not combustible, quickly gain durability.

Types of plaster teplon

In Younis's line of 7 types of plasters of a brand teplon:

• white (heat-insulating, facilitated);
• the white Gold (facilitated, the reinforced heat-insulating);
• reinforced (with heat-insulating effect);
• moisture resistant next akvagips;
• universal;
• MN-180;
• ecolayer.

The enterprises of Unis producer where produce plaster mix, are located near fields of plaster. Depending on mineral composition of natural raw materials at the exit receive products of white and gray colors. From here and two primary colors: white and gray (with intermediate shades).

Except them at a line there is a gray-beige mix as a part of which the polymeric additives increasing moisture resistance. Products of the line differ in properties a little.

Table: plaster teplon characteristics

Places and scope of application

Plaster mix teplon is intended for dry (a part of products – also for damp) rooms where solution is applied to alignment:

• ceiling surfaces;
• walls and partitions.

For bathtubs, even with periodic increase in humidity the structures marked in the table with asterisks do not use basement spaces and places because the covering poristo and also contains the perlite differing the moisture raised by ability to absorption. The covering gathered waters grows heavy, and plaster crystal communications collapse.

It easily leads to destruction and fall of finishing. For the same reason teplon (any mixes) do not apply to alignment of a facade of the house. These structures are allowed to be applied in finishing of bathrooms only under a tile with high-quality seal of seams.

Besides, plaster plasters are less strong and cannot resist to strong mechanical influences as that is done by cement plasters.

Such filler as perlite considerably increases heat-retaining properties of a finishing covering therefore material promotes room thermal insulation. But fully heat-shielding function begins to be shown at a thickness of layer more than 50 mm.

Plaster mixes, without being heavy, are suitable for alignment of the weak bases, for example, of gas concretes. In certain cases they just do not have an alternative. Then it is necessary to think over protection them from contact with water (gidroizolirovt).

Plaster teplon characteristics

Let's consider more in details the characteristics listed by consideration of types of plasters teplon on the example of the facilitated white mix. These characteristics directly define quality and duration of operation of a plaster covering.

Structure of a teplon

The base setting practically all properties are mix components. As basic substance of structure serves plaster. At a zatvoreniye powder of plaster will be transformed by water, emitting anhydrite in water. Therefore complex chemical solution in which there are processes of quickly proceeding crystallization is formed.

To make this process more operated, include the modifying additives in structure, for example, slowing down process of avalanche growth of crystals. Except curing delay mechanisms add to mix substance, the oppressing activity of microorganisms, softeners and other modifiers.

Weight reduction and increase in heat-shielding qualities are promoted by filler — perlite. It is received from the hydrated obsidian. The multiple time of perlitovy granules containing air lowers transfer of heat. Besides, these granules it is easier than plaster therefore plasters with perlitovy sand of easier usual plaster coverings.

Expiration date and storage conditions

On condition of storage of CC in an undisturbed original packing the validity of a product – 12 months. It is necessary to store plaster mixes in the dry aired room, putting a stack on pallets.

Expense

Buyers, getting acquainted with inscriptions on packing, can get acquainted in the list of characteristics with a mix consumption. So, on condition of an equal wall on thickness of a layer 10 mm high to plaster the area of 1 sq.m, about 8 - 9 kg leave. This quantity – approximate.

In practice this size can differ. For example, hilly or curvilinear surfaces will demand bigger (than flat) amount of solution. The bigger expense happens at beginners development of plaster business.

This characteristic is important for calculation of required amount of dry mix for repair performance. Calculation is carried out, being based on the average thickness of a solution layer calculated in result of inspection and measurements (for each wall this size will be the).

The area of a wall of F (sq.m) is multiplied by the average thickness of the leveling layer of D (cm) and at a size of an expense of R (kg) specified by the producer. The sizes calculated for each of walls put then they multiply at 1:15 or 1.2 (a stock up to 20% on "any firefighter"). As a result the total weight of the necessary quantity of CC will turn out. It was necessary to divide into plaster weight in a bag.

Heat conductivity

From the table clearly that heat conductivity of a white teplon (0.23 W/m of ° C) is lower, than at a porous red brick (0.44) or usual plaster plaster (0.3). As it was already told, by it teplon it is obliged to perlite (heat conductivity 0.05). Other plasters (limy, cement or clay) have heat conductivity above, than plaster.

Moisture absorption

The high porosity influences water absorption size. The ready covering can quickly napityvatsya by water, but gives water more slowly. As a result moisture keeps in a time long, and finishing can become a dwelling of microseaweed and fungi. Besides, "collected" water is displaced to border with the basis where plaster collapses quicker, and coupling of a covering with a wall sharply decreases. For this reason it is undesirable to use mix in damp rooms.

Layer thickness

The facilitated material allows creation of a covering a layer of bigger thickness. So on a wall without device of reinforcing it is possible to put without risk of slipping a layer of 5 cm, and locally – to 7 cm. The layer of such thickness hardens without emergence of internal tension, without emergence of cracks.

Adhesion and durability

Ability of plaster solutions it is good to keep on the different bases increases at the expense of the modifying additives. The size "stickings" – coupling durabilities (or adhesions) – is 3 kg/cm2. Such effort needs to be made to tear off from a wall hardened teplon.

Durability on compression of "branded" plaster is not lower than 25 kg/cm2. Such effort maintains a covering without formation of cracks and destruction.

Merits and demerits

Let's sum up consideration of properties and characteristics of plaster structures Teplon.

Pluses:

• does not shrink when grabs and hardens;
• does not form cracks;
• easy drawing due to plasticity and small weight;
• maintainability;
• receiving a glossy surface suitable for coloring and obkleyka thin wall-paper is possible;
• does not overload the weak bases;
• it is easily formed, holds patterns (it is possible to use as decorative);
• is suitable for the majority of types of the bases;
• high vapor permeability.

Minuses:

• it is unstable to water influence;
• is less strong, than structures on the basis of mineral binding and polymers.

Drawing

Plastering is carried out with use of the tools which are usually used by plasterers. Pallets and gladilka have to have rotor blades from stainless steel not to leave black marks.

Sequence of works following:

• preparation of a surface of the basis;
• installation of mayachny profiles;
• solution preparation, drawing weight on the basis;
• leveling.

Plastering is made at a temperature of walls and air higher than +5, below ^+30os. Optimum +15-+20 degrees. After cultivation of powder in water the plasterer has only 50 minutes on production of solution therefore big batches, working alone, do not do. It is desirable to dissolve mix with cold water, then solution lives longer.

Preparation

1. Preparation is begun with conducting de-energization.
2. Then in the repaired room delete from the bases filled, the old paint, wall-paper which became useless plaster.
3. The surface is examined. Clean from the substances reducing adhesion – spots of fat, a soot. Disinfect the centers of a fungus or a mold. Delete a hardware (those that leave, isolate). Rusty spots and vysola also delete.
4. Repair cracks, hollows, joints. Walls from concrete cover with notches.
5. Dust is deleted with a broom or the vacuum cleaner.
6. The surface is grounded (Younis offers Unis primer) on two layers, day dries.

Installation of indicators

After carrying out measurements, mark installation sites of beacons. Find out at what distance from a wall it is necessary to place combs of indicators (where there will pass the auxiliary plane). Establish extreme mayachny levels on plaster flat cakes (recede from corners on 20-30 cm).

For a teplon solution beacons from plaster will be the best. They do not need to be deleted after plastering.

Having established extreme beacons on level, expose intermediate. Distance between beacons of 100-130 cm (experienced plasterers can place beacons more widely).

Putting plaster solution

1. Weight is thrown a trowel or (it is more convenient to someone) smeared with the pallet on a wall between two beacons, beginning from above.
2. Having showered the heatnumber the site about square meter, level it the rule, conducting the tool on guides in zigzag fashion.
3. Then cover with solution on the adjacent site.
4. When solution begins to grab, it is cut with the rule with h-shaped section.
5. Allow a surface to grab so that at contact with a palm on it there would be no mix trace left.
6. Then a spongy grater plentifully moisten with water a wall (without pressing) and allow water to be absorbed.
7. The Zamatovevshy surface is smoothed down the pallet.

After smoothing down the surface becomes smooth. Hard putty before coloring is not required.

How many dries

Five-seven days are approximate time. In practice it can increase if thickness of solution big or to decrease if the plaster coat is small.

Ceiling nuances

When plastering ceilings the maximum allowed thickness of a layer – 30 mm will be the main difference. It is less, than on vertical surfaces. But such restriction guarantees that solution will normally dry and will get stronger, without coming off a ceiling.

We considered products of the Russian production – plaster teplon which characteristics satisfy not only masters, but also beginners. Working without violations of the instruction, even those who take the pallet in hand for the first time, easily achieve good results, thanks to quality of mix.
