Select adhesive foam - popular brands and directions for use

Plates of this species foam often used for insulation of various structures.Working with Penoplex does not require professional skills, so it can be carried out independently and in a relatively short period of time.at the place of connection is performed, usually with the help of adhesive, and provides additional fixation Penoplex special dowels.

There is a caveat - when attaching these same anchors in slabs Penoplex drilled holes under them.According to some masters, it may cause a certain depressurization surface if not qualitatively repaired places.They advise longer rely on the adhesive itself, and to resort to additional fastening only if the plates during operation will undergo increased loads, provoking their displacement.

also important, on what basis will be glued penoplex.After all, for example, the wall can be built from materials such as concrete, brick, foam and others.Moreover, what it pre-treated (if these activities were carried out), how to get rid?The same waterproofing can be undeveloped or rolled products, or mastic asphalt.

It refers to a property of adhesives as adhesion.Can the glue to ensure the reliable "hitch" Penoplex to insulate the surface of the material?Therefore, when choosing a glue is necessary to study the instructions for use.In addition, it is necessary to determine, it is suitable for the conditions or no data.After all, for each formulation has its own temperature range, humidity control and the like.With some of them you can only work with the "plus" temperature, and this should also be taken into account.

All adhesives are divided into several groups depending on whether the basis on which they are made:

cement (mineral). One example is the famous "Sarmat", "Ceresit";

• plaster. Suitable for use in dry rooms, since moisture cure in the short term, and their use should be very fast (or cook small portions that are sometimes not very convenient);
• polyurethane ( «Izolemfi", "Titan");
• waterproofing ( «Uniflex" mastic asphalt);
• polymer composite ( «Moment", "Emfikol").

is necessary to take into account the properties of the foam of the foam.Given the nature of this material, not every tool is suitable for its adhesion.Some adhesives are sold may contain ingredients that destroy the structure Penoplex.Another important factor is how long the composition dries.If work is carried out inside the building, the persistent smell of glue is unlikely to enjoy.And to organize, for example, reliable ventilation of premises is quite problematic in the winter.

What kind of materials should not be in the adhesive composition

• relating to a group of petroleum products - diesel fuel, gasoline, kerosene;
• benzene, toluene;
• polyester resin and coal tar;
• any solvent;
• formaldehyde, formalin.

And still need to pay attention to indicators such as consumption of adhesive per 1 m2.It may be that the use of the best, from the buyer's point of view, means "will result" in a significant amount.

one conclusion - it is necessary to take into account all of the above recommendations and the best option for a particular application.Here are a few examples of materials and prices.

ATLAS STOPTER K-20

for bonding to mineral based.Flow rate - about 4,5 kg / m2.It sold as a package in a dry blend of 25 kg.The cost of one bag - 310 rubles.

«TITAN»

polyurethane adhesive for sticking to the concrete.Consumption - 0.75 l / m2.For a tube of 750 ml will have to pay 405 rubles.

«Cerezyme" (ST83)

flow rate of about 5 kg / m2.25 kg bag costs from 375 rubles.

«T-Avangard-K»

Over 25 kg (pack) - from 270 rubles.It has high water resistance.

Tips

• Clay must be purchased with a certain margin.If you do not have much experience in bonding plates Penoplex, the actual consumption will be slightly higher than that guaranteed by the manufacturer.Especially, if the foundations of the surface smooth enough.
• is necessary to pay attention to the "setting".With "fast setting" compositions to work harder, because the time for operations is greatly reduced.But in the process of laying tiles and they still have to align.For example, when working with the "moment" is unlikely to succeed.
