Preparation of the substrate
IsomaxTERM is applied onto cement, gypsum, lime surfaces, painted walls and ceilings, well-bonded wallpaper, etc. The basis for the coating must be sound, dry, clean and smooth. To prevent overrun of material it is recommended the surfaces to be primed with IsomaxTERM-primer at rate of about 50 gr/m².
To remove existing mould locally, the affected surfaces should be treated with appropriate products for mould cleaning. Then apply IsomaxTERM over area that should be at least 50 cm wider in all directions. To prevent the occurrence of condensation, which is the needed environment for growth of mould, it is recommended to apply IsomaxTERM onto the internal surfaces of all exterior walls and ceilings, as well as a binding strip at least 50 cm in the angles between exterior walls and interior walls and ceiling. In order to achieve maximum energy saving effect and to have maximum comfort, the heat-reflecting paint should be applied as a finishing coating on all interior walls and ceilings.
Preparation of material
1. Carefully open the lid and by means of a spatula or a trowel thoroughly separate the material from the walls of the bucket.
2. Mix with an electric mixer (stirrer) at high speed (about 1000 rpm/min) until complete liquefaction.
3. If necessary, for easier spreading with roller, the material may be diluted with water up to 3% (30 ml water per 1 liter IsomaxTERM).
Manner of application of IsomaxTERM
Onto preliminary primed and dry surfaces, apply a layer of IsomaxTERM with paint brush or roller with polyamide fibres (fibre length of 10-13 mm).
Consumption for one layer: 0.130-0.140 litres per 1 m² (65-70 g/m²).
Application by brush is recommended for small areas – up to 5 m².
Before using the roller or the brush, it must be moistened with water.
Always stir IsomaxTERM thoroughly!
The roller should always be well and evenly soaked with material in order to move without pressure on the surface and the material to spread quickly without repeating one and the same place. Basically, under well soaked roller, two / three passes in both directions is enough to form the required layer of IsomaxTERM. After the complete drying of the first layer (about 4h at 23°C), further two layers shall be applied in the same manner.
IsomaxTERM can be also applied through spraying, with equipment with air-compression.
Total consumption of material for 1 m² – 0.400 litres (0.200 kg).
The minimum thickness of the final dry coating should be 0.3 – 0.4 mm.
