Instructions for use

Since each composition is different in the method of application, it is necessary to know several nuances of use indicated by the trademark, which provided a separate technology for the glue-foam.

To simplify the task, and at the same time the consumption of the composition, experts provide a detailed description of the work.

In order not to complicate the work with foam glue, it is initially necessary to fix the starting profile-fixer on the base to be treated.
The container with the composition should be installed on a flat surface so that the valve is located at the top.
Then it is inserted into a special assembly gun, the protective cap is removed, aligning the valve with the bridge of the tool used.
After the balloon is inserted and fixed, it must be shaken well.
In the process of applying the glue-foam to the base with a gun, it is necessary to ensure that the balloon is constantly in an upright position, heading up.

In order for the application of the composition to be uniform, it is necessary to maintain the same distance between the panel and the assembly gun.
The glue used for expanded polystyrene is usually applied along the perimeter of the plate, while retreating from the edge about 2-2.5 cm.
The foam strips should be approximately 2.5-3 cm wide

In this case, it is especially important that one of the applied adhesive strips runs strictly in the center of the board.
After the adhesive foam has been applied to the base, it is necessary to give it time to expand, leaving the board for a few minutes. It is strictly forbidden to glue the thermal insulation plate immediately.
After 5-7 minutes, the panel is glued to the base, slightly pressing in this position until the glue sets.

After gluing the first board, others are glued to it, trying to avoid the formation of cracks.
If, during fixation, a seam of more than 2 mm is obtained, an adjustment should be made, for which the master has no more than 5-10 minutes.
Sometimes the cracks are sealed with scraps of foam, but it is better to do the job with high quality initially, as this can affect the formation of cold bridges.
After the final drying of the composition, the foam in the places of protrusion should be cut off with a construction knife. If necessary, grind the seams.

Advantages and disadvantages

Specially developed products are always superior in properties to conventional tile adhesives. In the case of Technonikol brand glue-foam, this rule is also observed. Its use has a lot of advantages:

ease of use - the finished composition does not need to be diluted, it is easily squeezed out of the container;
shortening the time of installation work - achieved due to the convenience and quick setting;
the presence of a short, but sufficient time to clarify the location of the slab;
the possibility of sealing joints and cracks without buying another means;
lack of "cold bridges" due to the same thermal conductivity as the material to be glued;
100% reliability of fastening, high quality of adhesion to any bases;
resistance to moisture, mold - no additional antifungal treatment is required;
suitability for indoor and outdoor use.

The only disadvantages are a higher price than that of a cheap tile adhesive, although in comparison with analogues, TechnoNIKOL often wins. Also, you can not use foam at negative temperatures, you will have to wait for the warm season.

Instructions for use

For high-quality performance of work and reduce the level of foam consumption, experts advise you to follow several rules:

install the cylinder on a flat working base strictly vertically;
remove the safety cap from the valve and connect the cylinder to the tool seat;
shake up the aerosol can with polyurethane foam;
during all stages of work, the cylinder must not be placed horizontally;
when applying the composition, it is necessary to maintain the same distance between the working surface and the gun;

the width of the mortar stripes should not be more than 30 mm;
for reliable fixation of heat-insulating materials, it is necessary to withstand the expansion time of the foam;
5 minutes after applying the composition to the work surface, it is necessary to apply the panel and hold it until it is completely fixed;
there should be no gaps and cracks between the plates to be fixed;
correction of panels can be carried out within 10 minutes;
after complete drying, it is necessary to remove the remaining foam and polish the working surface.

Instructions for use

When insulating walls, it is necessary to exclude air movement in the gap between the base and the insulation panel. To fill these gaps, an insulating mass is spread into the gaps. The admissible temperature for working with foam is from 0 to + 30˚С. If the balloon with glue was in the cold, it should be kept in a warm room for 12 hours.

For quality work, follow the following guidelines:

Clean the surfaces of the wall and foam panels from dirt and dust accumulations. Dry well. Apply notches to the plane of the panel for better adhesion.

The incisions are made at random to a depth of 5 mm using a tool with hard, fine teeth, such as a file or a notched trowel.

The mass is applied directly from the balloon, or using a mounting gun.
In a vertical position, remove the protective cap, and, if there is a mounting gun, insert the cylinder into the gun body. Shake for 15-25 sec.
If there is no gun before opening, shake the tube with glue several times.

Spread the foam adhesive around the perimeter and diagonally of the expanded polystyrene panels.

The volume of the foam seam should be 2.5–3 cm.
Leave the composition to swell for 5 minutes. At this time, moisten the base from the sprayer to remove the dust layer.
Press the panel to the base, wait for the insulation sheet to hold upright on its own.

After finishing work, clean the assembly gun with a special cleaner.

Instructions for use

How to apply foam adhesive correctly? The instructions are the same for the entire line of products. As a preparation, you need to make the surface absolutely dry, clean, free of dirt and debris - this will increase adhesion. The base is wiped or washed, dried. To apply glue, use a mounting gun or directly a balloon. The second option is much more convenient, it reduces foam consumption.

How to glue expanded polystyrene boards? The correct order of work is as follows:

put the cylinder on a flat surface with the valve up;
remove the protection cap, connect the cylinder to the appropriate place in the assembly gun;
shake the can;
apply glue to the board around the perimeter, slightly stepping back from the edge (the glue strips should be no thicker than 3 cm);
apply glue in the center of the board with a strip from top to bottom;
wait 5 minutes, attach the stove to the base (do not tear it off the wall when moving);
press the expanded polystyrene, fix in the desired position, leave until the glue sets;
repeat the work, leaving 3 mm gaps between the tiles;
after drying, apply glue foam to fill the gaps;
after a day, cut off the crawled foam with a knife, glue spots can be removed with a special cleaner of the same brand.
