INSUSET

DRY MIX ADHESIVE AND BASE COAT FOR EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE (EPS)

Description

INSUSET is a dry mix compound which when mixed with water, yields a high performance mortar for use in EIFS Wall Insulation System. The mortar is used as an adhesive to paste rigid insulation boards on the Walls and is also used as base coat plaster to embed the fiberglass mesh and protect insulation boards from external weather and minor mechanical impacts.

Fields of Application

Suitable for exterior and interior ETICS / Wall Insulation application
For Expanded Polystyrene Boards, Rockwool Slabs, Mineral wool Slabs
For ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) Structures

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Dual purpose use as Adhesive & Base coat for EIFS system
Non cracking attribute of base coat with high impact resistance
Single component requires only mixing water at the site
Self-curing therefore no water sprinkling is required
Protects Polystyrene sheets from UV rays and rain
Smooth, creamy consistency increases jobsite productivity
Vapor permeability does not allow moisture built up

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Surface must be clean, dry, structurally sound and free of efflorescence, grease and oil. Irregular/ uneven walls should be plastered and evenly leveled. For up to 10 mm unevenness in wall, ribbon and dab method must be used for fixing boards. Any paint on the wall has to be stripped off using sandpaper. Hammer hack is not required on the walls.

APPLICATION

Take a clean container/plastic pail of 25 liters capacity. Add 6 liters of clean, potable water in the container. Add half a bag of INSUSET in this pail and mix using a heavy-duty drill (Ф18 mm) with a rust-free paddle at 300-400 rpm. The remaining half bag is added and mixed until a thoroughly blended paste is obtained. Let the mixture stand for 2-3 minutes and then stir again. Very little water may be added while working to adjust the mortar workability. The mixture should be used immediately within its pot life after mixing. After working, clean the tools with soap and water.
