Description and properties of Teplon plaster

"Teplon" refers to compositions for plastering that are made of gypsum plaster. In other words, gypsum serves as a binder during the creation of artificial stone. This naturally occurring mineral easily and quickly becomes saturated with moisture when it is dehydrated. It then reacts with water to form crystalline bonds. Gypsum compositions are smooth-finishing, easily laid, and flexible.

Gypsum-based coatings enable walls to breathe freely because they are vapor-permeable and porous. If there is an excessive amount of humidity in the room, they use their pores to absorb moisture from the air and return it when the air dries out. Therefore, gypsum coatings have an active role in controlling comfort. The tactile qualities of Teplon, a gypsum plaster, are also pleasing to the touch because it is warmer than cement.

Unis Teplon compositions are designed to finish interiors, from dry living rooms to rooms with varying humidity. Their characteristics are similar to each other but differ slightly. They quickly gain strength, are non-flammable, and are environmentally friendly.

Types of Teplon plaster

Seven Teplon brand plaster types are available in the Yunis line:

• white (heat-insulating, lightweight);
• white Gold (lightweight, reinforced thermal insulation);
• reinforced (with heat-insulating effect);
• moisture-resistant next aquagypsum;
• universal;
• MN-180;
• ecolayer.

The "Unis manufacturers" businesses that create the gypsum mixture are situated close to gypsum deposits. The natural raw materials’ mineral composition determines which products are produced at the output: white and gray. Thus, the two primary hues—gray and white—along with their corresponding shades.

Teplon White Gold Unis

The range also includes a gray-beige mixture with moisture-resistant polymer additives in addition to them. The properties of the products in the line vary slightly.

Places and scope of application

Mixture of gypsum Teplon is designed for use as a leveling solution in dry rooms (some products can also be used in wet rooms):

• ceiling surfaces;
• walls and partitions.

The compositions indicated with an asterisk in the table should not be used in bathrooms, basements, or locations even experiencing occasional increases in humidity because the coating is porous and contains perlite, which has a greater capacity to absorb moisture. The gypsum crystalline bonds break and the coating that has absorbed water gets heavier.

This can easily cause the finish to crumble and be destroyed. Teplon (or any mixture) is not used to level the house’s facade for the same reason. Only ceramic tiles with excellent seam sealing may be used to finish bathrooms with these compositions.

Furthermore, unlike cement plasters, gypsum plasters are not as strong and cannot sustain heavy mechanical impacts.

Since Teplon’s composition can withstand at least 35 freeze cycles, it can also be used to plaster unheated rooms as long as it remains constantly dry.

The finishing coating’s ability to retain heat is greatly enhanced by a filler like perlite, which helps the material improve the room’s thermal insulation. However, the full heat-protective effect becomes apparent at layer thicknesses greater than 50 mm.

Because they are lightweight, gypsum mixtures work well for leveling flimsy bases like aerated concrete. Sometimes they just don’t have an option. After that, waterproofing—the process of shielding them from water—must be considered.

Cement bases, such as cement-sand plasters, cannot be mixed with gypsum coatings. By forming a primer intermediate layer, contact is avoided. It is not possible to put gypsum material beneath cement plaster.

Teplon plaster characteristics

Using the example of a lightweight white mixture, let us examine the features mentioned in more detail when examining the various types of Teplon plasters. The plaster coating’s quality and longevity are directly determined by these features.

Composition of teplona

The components of the mixture serve as the basis for nearly all of the properties. Gypsum is the composition’s main ingredient. The gypsum powder changes when combined with water, releasing anhydrite into the mixture. This leads to the formation of a complex chemical solution where quick crystallization processes take place.

Modifying additives are added to the composition to slow down the avalanche growth of crystals, for example, and make this process more controllable. The mixture also contains plasticizers, other modifiers, and substances that prevent microorganisms from performing their essential functions in addition to hardening retarders.

Perlite filler contributes to weight reduction and enhanced heat-resistant properties. It comes from obsidian that has been hydrated. Heat transfer is reduced by the numerous air-filled pores in perlite granules. Plasters with perlite sand also weigh less than traditional gypsum coatings because these granules are lighter than gypsum.

Shelf life and storage conditions

Storage of SS in its original, undamaged packaging extends its shelf life to a full year. Pallets should be used to stack and ventilate the storage of gypsum mixtures.

Consumption

Customers can familiarize themselves with the mixture consumption in the list of characteristics by reading the labelling on the package. Therefore, if the wall is level, 8 to 9 kg of plaster will be needed to cover an area of 1 square meter, with a layer thickness of 10 mm. This amount is an estimate.

This value may vary in real life. For example, a larger (than flat) amount of solution will be needed for lumpy or curved surfaces. Those who are just starting out in the plastering industry consume more.

This feature is crucial for figuring out how much dry mixture is needed for repairs. The computation is predicated on the average mortar layer thickness, which is determined by measurements and inspection; each wall’s value will vary).

The average thickness of the leveling layer D (cm) and the manufacturer’s specified consumption value R (kg) are multiplied by the wall area F (m2). The values computed for each wall are multiplied by 1.15 or 1.2 after they have been added together (a reserve of up to 20% for "every fire"). You will thus receive the entire weight of the necessary quantity of SS. The plaster weight in the bag needs to be divided.

Thermal conductivity

The table makes it evident that white Teplon has a lower thermal conductivity (0.23 W / m oC) than either regular gypsum plaster (0.3) or porous red brick (0.44). Teplon owes this to perlite (thermal conductivity 0.05), as was previously mentioned. The thermal conductivity of other plasters, such as lime, cement, or clay, is higher than that of gypsum.

Moisture absorption

Water absorption capacity is impacted by high porosity. Water can be quickly absorbed by the finished coating, but it releases water more slowly. As a result, moisture stays in the pores for an extended period of time, and fungi and microalgae may find a home in the finish. Furthermore, the "collected" water travels to the base-border where the gypsum is broken down more quickly and the coating’s adhesion to the wall is drastically decreased. It is therefore not recommended to use the mixture in moist areas.

Layer thickness

Greater layer thickness can be achieved in coatings made of lightweight material. Thus, you can apply a 5 cm layer (or up to 7 cm locally) without worrying about slipping on an unreinforced wall. Such a thickness of layer hardens without internal stresses developing and without cracks showing.

Adhesion and strength

Additives that modify gypsum solutions improve their ability to stick to various bases. The strength of adhesion, also known as "sticking," has a value of 3 kg per cm2. This is the amount of force required to separate the wall-attached hardened teplon.

The "branded" plaster has a compressive strength of at least 25 kg/cm2. Such an effort will not cause the coating to break or degrade.

Thermal insulation plaster Plaster Unis Teplon is a multipurpose plaster that is renowned for its longevity and energy efficiency. Because of its superior thermal protection design, it’s perfect for insulating walls on the inside as well as the outside. Applying Unis Teplon is simple, but for a flawless, long-lasting finish, meticulous planning and a step-by-step procedure are needed. This plaster not only makes your house feel cozier and warmer, but it also helps save energy by minimizing heat loss through walls.

Advantages and disadvantages

We will review the aspects of gypsum compositions of heat and their properties and characteristics.

• does not give shrinkage when he grabs and hardens;
• does not form cracks;
• light application due to plasticity and small weight;
• maintainability;
• It is possible to obtain a glossy surface suitable for staining and glorifying thin wallpaper;
• does not overload the weak grounds;
• easily formed, holds patterns (can be used as decorative);
• Suitable for most types of bases;
• High vapor permeability.

• non -water to the effects of water;
• less durable than compounds based on mineral binders and polymers.

Application

The instruments typically used by plasterers are used for plastering. Stainless steel spatulas and ironers should be used to avoid leaving behind black residue.

The following is the order of work:

• preparation of the base surface;
• installation of beacon profiles;
• preparation of the solution, application of the mass to the base;
• leveling.

Plastering is done when the air and wall temperatures are above +5 and below +30 degrees Celsius. Best between +15 and +20 degrees. Large batches are not made when working alone because the plasterer has only fifty minutes to produce the solution after dilution of the powder in water. It is best to dilute the mixture with cold water to extend the duration of the solution.

Preparation

1. Preparation begins with de-energizing the wiring.
2. Then, in the room being repaired, whitewash, old paint, wallpaper, and worn-out plaster are removed from the bases.
3. The surface is inspected. They are cleaned of substances that reduce adhesion – grease stains, soot. Disinfect fungus or mold foci. Remove hardware (those that are left, isolate). Rust stains and efflorescence are also removed.
4. Repair cracks, potholes, joints. Concrete walls are covered with notches.
5. Remove dust with a broom or vacuum cleaner.
6. Prime the surface (Yunis offers Unis primer) in two layers, dry for a day.

Installing beacons

Once the measurements are taken, mark the beacon locations. Determine the required distance for the beacon combs to be placed from the wall (where the auxiliary plane will pass). Place the extreme beacon strips (20–30 cm away from the corners) on the gypsum cakes.

Gypsum mortar beacons will work best for teplon. After plastering, they do not need to be taken out.

Set the intermediate beacons after installing the extreme ones in accordance with the level. The beacons are spaced 100–130 cm apart, though skilled plasterers can space them farther apart.

Applying the plaster mortar

1. The mass is thrown with a trowel or (for some it is more convenient) spread with a spatula on the wall between two beacons, starting from the top.
2. Having thrown teplonom on an area of ​​about a square meter, level it with a rule, moving the tool along the guides in a zigzag pattern.
3. Then throw the solution on the adjacent area.
4. When the solution begins to set, cut it with a rule with an H-shaped cross-section.
5. Let the surface set so much that when touched with the palm of the hand, there would be no traces of the mixture left on it.
6. Then generously wet the wall with water with a sponge float (without pressing) and let the water soak in.
7. Smooth the matte surface with a spatula.

The surface becomes smooth after smoothing. Painting does not require putty.

How long does it dry

It takes roughly five to seven days. In actuality, it may go up if the solution is thicker or down if the plaster layer is thinner.

For individuals seeking wall finishes that are durable and insulated, Plaster Unis Teplon is a dependable option. Because of its distinct composition, it offers a smooth, even surface that is ready for painting or other decorative treatments in addition to improving thermal efficiency.

Unis Teplon is easy to apply, even for people who are not very experienced with plastering.
