Working with teplon plaster is the key to successful construction and repair work. Features of plaster mixtures of UNIS Teplon brand Unis Teplon cement sand plaster

The white gypsum plaster offered by the company meets the requirements for these finishing materials in all respects. The manufacturer introduces an additional component into its composition - perlite, which reduces the setting time of the solution. Perlite is produced from a natural natural mineral - mica, which increases after solidification, acquiring excellent thermal insulation characteristics.

Unis Teplon gypsum plaster differs from other plasters in its low weight, aesthetic appearance, this material performs the function of thermal protection of the dwelling.

Among the main advantages of Teplon gypsum plaster, professionals highlight the maximum strength of the resulting coating. The plaster layer can be applied over the entire treated surface with a thickness of up to 5 cm, to eliminate irregularities with a depth of 5-7 cm.

Attention ! This gypsum plaster can be applied in several layers, having previously made a mesh notch on the surface with a spatula.

Applying Teplon plaster on the ceiling surface

Teplon plaster solution is used to level both vertical walls and horizontal ceilings. When plastering the ceiling, a standard algorithm is used, reducing the thickness of the putty layer to 3 cm.

Technical parameters Teplon for ceiling:

improvement of the thermal insulation characteristics of the ceiling;
setting of the solution;
the strength of the resulting surface;
ease of application (ease of application is due to the low weight of the mixture, excellent plasticity, uniformity of the consistency of the plaster mixture).

When applying this composition to the ceiling, there are no problems, it is quickly smoothed out, easily leveled. The coating has a characteristic smoothness, glossy or matte appearance.

Advice ! If the white Teplon solution is applied in compliance with all technological features, then it will not be necessary to additionally apply finishing putty (you will experience significant cost savings).

How to work with unis gypsum plaster

When working with gypsum plaster, you must go through the following steps:

Surface preparation. With the help of Eunice gypsum plaster, you can create a flat, uniform, smooth surface without fear of shrinkage cracks, if you properly prepare the wall (ceiling) for work. First you need to check the strength of the surface, dry it. Old paint, plaster, putty, which is not firmly attached to the wall, is removed with a construction spatula. The treated area is cleaned of dust, get rid of oil or bituminous contaminants. If necessary, a 2-3 cm notch is made on the surface, increasing the adhesion between the plaster solution and the surface.
Advice! It is desirable to carry out surface treatment with highly penetrating compounds, selecting them taking into account the specifics of the base (2-3 layer priming is carried out for aerated concrete, foam concrete).
Solution preparation. It is important to strictly observe the proportions of water and the mixture, which are indicated on the packaging of the mixture. In order for the mixture to have maximum technical characteristics, it is important to thoroughly mix the components using an electric mixer with nozzles. After the initial mixing, the solution is left for 10-15 minutes, then mixed again. The introduction of a gypsum binder into the mixture accelerates the setting time, so the finished mixture should be used within 40-50 minutes after preparation. It is not recommended to dilute the mixture a second time, the solution will have low technical characteristics.
Application of the solution. To apply gypsum plaster mass Eunice Teplon you will need a spatula or trowel. Tools made of high-quality stainless steel (do not corrode) will be optimal. Before the mixture begins to "set", it is important to treat the plastered surface with a rule, eliminating irregularities and roughness. After 1.5-2 hours after setting, the applied layer of white gypsum plaster Eunice Teplon is treated with a special sponge float. As soon as the gypsum plaster mixture dries, you can start painting the wall (ceiling) or pasting the surface with wallpaper. There is no need to waste time and money on the application of finishing putty.

Fields of application of unis gypsum plaster

This finishing material is suitable for various actions:

execution of facade works;
interior decoration.

Such gypsum plaster guarantees leveling of ceilings and walls in rooms with normal humidity (gypsum composition is not suitable for leveling surfaces in bathrooms and toilets).

Eunice Teplon plaster composition is suitable for brick, concrete, wooden walls, its main component is gypsum with mineral additives.

Attention ! For each type of surface, their primers have been developed.

Unis Teplon White: technical parameters

Gypsum plaster Unis Teplon White has the following technical parameters:

Strength 2.5 MPa per 1 cm (the finished surface can withstand pressure up to 25 kg). The adhesion strength of the mixture to the surface is estimated at 0.1 MPa, which is not bad for mixtures used in interior decoration.
There is no need to use a reinforcing mesh when working with Teplon White. Whatever the composition of the base surface, priming is a mandatory step. The thickness of the finished finish layer is 50 mm. Working with Teplon does not involve the installation of beacons at the first stage of work, they will be required when finishing the plastered surface. The application of a new layer is carried out only after the previous layer is completely dry.
The average consumption of Teplon gypsum plaster is 4.5-5 liters per 10 kg. The duration of the viable period of the finished plaster is 50 minutes. The manufacturer offers a mixture of 15 and 30 kg, the choice is up to the buyer.
The air temperature inside the room should be in the range from -5 to +30 degrees. Such a temperature regime allows gypsum plaster to gain maximum strength, thermal insulation characteristics, avoid shrinkage, small cracks.

About the efficiency of Teplona Bely

The insignificant consumption of this mixture in comparison with cement-sand compositions is an excellent advantage of Teplon.
A layer of gypsum plaster of 4-5 mm is similar to brickwork of 1-1.5 bricks.

Conclusion

Gypsum plasters with additional plasticizers and Teplon fillers are suitable for complex ceiling surfaces, uneven walls. Such mixtures have a reasonable cost, are easy to use, and have good performance. With full observance of all the recommendations of the manufacturers indicated on the packaging of the mixture, you can count on obtaining a smooth surface that is resistant to pathogens, chemical and atmospheric corrosion.

When carrying out work, as well as during the drying period of the solution, the air temperature in the room should be within +5 ... + 30 ° С and the air humidity level should not exceed 75%.

Surface preparation

The base must be even, solid, dry, and have a load-bearing capacity. Before applying the material, remove crumbling elements, paint coatings and any other contaminants from the surface. The surface must be treated with UNIS primer in one or two layers; substrates that are unevenly and strongly absorbing moisture (gas silicate, foam concrete, etc.) - in several layers. Soil from the UNIS line is selected according to the type of foundation. Dusting of primed surfaces is not allowed. Plastering should be carried out only after the primed surface has completely dried.

All irregularities, potholes, cracks with a depth of more than 50 mm must be preliminarily repaired with several layers of TEPLON plaster. The thickness of each layer during continuous leveling of the surface should not exceed 50 mm, with a layer of more than 50 mm it is recommended to use a plaster mesh.

In case of thick-layer leveling on the prepared base with the help of TEPLON plaster, install beacons at a distance of 20-30 cm less than the length of the rule used. The correctness of the installation of beacons is checked by the level. After the solution fixing the beacons has hardened, you can continue to work.

Solution preparation

To prepare the solution, pour the dry mixture into a container with clean water (0.40-0.50 l per 1 kg of dry mixture) and mix for 1-3 minutes until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Mixing is done in a mechanized way - a professional mixer with a nozzle at low speed. Manual mixing is allowed when the mass of the mixed mixture is not more than 1 kg. Let the solution stand for 5 minutes and stir again. After that, the solution is ready for use. The prepared portion of the solution must be used up no later than 50 minutes after mixing.

Attention! When preparing the solution, it is necessary to observe the ratio "dry mixture - water". It is not allowed to add any components to the dry mix, except for water. The addition of any components, including water, to an already prepared solution leads to a change in the properties of the material declared by the manufacturer. To prepare the solution, use only clean containers and tools.

Installation of beacons

On a previously prepared base in the places where the beacons are installed, apply the Teplon plaster mortar. Without waiting for the mixture to dry, press the beacons into the solution applied to the surface. The correct installation of the beacons is checked by the level. The distance between the beacons should be 20-30 cm less than the length of the rule. Further work is carried out 3-4 hours after the installation of the beacons.

Material application

The prepared solution is applied to the surface with a trowel or spatula within 20-30 minutes after mixing, then leveled with a rule. The layer of application of the plaster mixture without the use of a plaster mesh on the walls is from 5 to 50 mm and up to 70 mm when filling the recesses, for ceilings - from 5 to 30 mm.

At the moment the mortar begins to set (80-90 minutes after the mixture has been mixed), cut the applied layer with a rule, removing excess and filling in the recesses. The resulting surface after final drying is suitable for gluing ceramic tiles.

Equalization of drops more than 50 mm

If there are differences of more than 50 mm, the surface is preliminary leveled using the Teplon plaster mixture. To do this, the plaster mixture is applied in several layers, each layer is laid with a plaster mesh. Installation of beacons for applying pre-leveling layers is not required. Application of "Teplon" plaster in several layers is possible without the use of a plaster mesh, for this, cross-shaped notches are applied to a set, but not yet hardened layer of plaster (80-90 minutes after mixing) with a comb or a notched trowel.

The thickness of each layer, if it is necessary to level significant (more than 50 mm) differences, should not exceed 30 mm. Before applying a new layer of plaster mixture, it is necessary to wait for the previous layer to dry completely and treat the surface with UNIS primer.

Smoothing and glossing

Depending on the thickness of the applied layer, after 90-120 minutes after trimming, moisten the surface with water, rub it with a sponge float and smooth it with gypsum milk that has come out onto the surface with a spatula or trowel. The resulting surface after drying is suitable for wallpapering or painting.

Substrate preparation: The substrate must be level, solid, dry and load-bearing. Before applying the material, remove crumbling elements, paint coatings and any other contaminants from the surface. The surface must be treated with UNIS primer in one or two layers; substrates that are unevenly and strongly absorbing moisture (gas silicate, foam concrete, etc.) - in several layers. Soil from the UNIS line is selected according to the type of foundation. Dusting of primed surfaces is not allowed. Plastering should be carried out only after the primed surface has completely dried. All irregularities, potholes, cracks with a depth of more than 50 mm must be preliminarily repaired with several layers of TEPLON plaster. The thickness of each layer during continuous leveling of the surface should not exceed 50 mm, with a layer of more than 50 mm it is recommended to use a plaster mesh. When thick-layer leveling on a prepared base using TEPLON plaster, install beacons at a distance of 20-30 cm less than the length of the rule used. The correctness of the installation of beacons is checked by the level. After the solution fixing the beacons has hardened, you can continue to work.

Preparation of the mortar mixture: To prepare the mortar, pour the dry mixture into a container with clean water (0.45-0.55 l per 1 kg of the dry mixture) and mix for 1-3 minutes until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Mixing is done in a mechanized way - a professional mixer with a nozzle at low speed. Manual mixing is allowed when the mass of the mixed mixture is not more than 1 kg. Let the solution stand for 5 minutes and stir again. After that, the solution is ready for use. The prepared portion of the solution must be used up no later than 50 minutes after mixing.

Attention! When preparing the solution, it is necessary to observe the ratio "dry mixture - water". It is not allowed to add any components to the dry mix, except for water. The addition of any components, including water, to an already prepared solution leads to a change in the properties of the material declared by the manufacturer. To prepare the solution, use only clean containers and tools.

Installing beacons On a previously prepared base in the places where beacons are installed, apply the Teplon plaster mortar. Without waiting for the mixture to dry, press the beacons into the solution applied to the surface. The correct installation of the beacons is checked by the level. The distance between the beacons should be 20-30 cm less than the length of the rule. Further work is carried out 3-4 hours after the installation of the beacons.

Application: The prepared solution is applied to the surface with a trowel or spatula within 20-30 minutes after mixing, then leveled with a rule. The layer of application of the plaster mixture without the use of a plaster mesh on the walls is from 5 to 50 mm and up to 70 mm when filling the recesses, for ceilings - from 5 to 30 mm. At the moment the mortar begins to set (50-60 minutes after the mixture has been mixed), cut the applied layer with a rule, removing excess and filling in the recesses. The resulting surface after final drying is suitable for gluing ceramic tiles. Leveling of drops more than 50 mm If there are drops of more than 50 mm, preliminary leveling of the surface is carried out using the Teplon plaster mixture. To do this, the plaster mixture is applied in several layers, each layer is laid with a plaster mesh. Installation of beacons for applying pre-leveling layers is not required.

Applying the Teplon plaster in several layers is possible without the use of a plaster mesh; for this, cross-shaped notches are applied to the set but not yet hardened layer of plaster (50-60 minutes after mixing) with a comb or a notched trowel. The thickness of each layer, if it is necessary to level significant (more than 50 mm) differences, should not exceed 30 mm. Before applying a new layer of plaster mixture, it is necessary to wait for the previous layer to dry completely and treat the surface with UNIS primer. Smoothing and glossing Depending on the thickness of the applied layer, 90-120 minutes after trimming, moisten the surface with water, rub with a sponge float and smooth with gypsum milk that has come out onto the surface with a spatula or trowel. The resulting surface after drying is suitable for wallpapering or painting.

Ready plaster mixes Teplon on a gypsum basis are known to the consumer, having positive reviews in terms of "price-quality", they are optimal if you want to do the work yourself. The advantages of the material include lightness, permeability, low thermal conductivity, minimal effort during mixing and application, good strength characteristics, fast setting time. Reviews of Teplon plaster compositions are mostly positive, subject to all the requirements of the installation and hardening technology, they form a high-quality adhesion to the surface and will last a long time.

Depending on the intended purpose, the following brands of Teplon from UNIS are distinguished:

White - heat-saving plaster for leveling walls and ceilings in interior spaces, which does not require finishing puttying. This type is best when planning wallpapering, it does not need to be covered with paint.
Teplon Gray - similar in characteristics and properties (with the exception of color and slightly lower consumption) with the previous composition for leveling the walls of residential and public interior spaces.
Moisture-resistant - non-shrink crack-resistant plaster for operation in conditions of normal and high humidity.
Teplon TM is a mixture for machine application.

The field of application includes internal construction and repair work: full or partial leveling of walls before subsequent finishing, sealing shallow cracks, thermal insulation of door and window slopes. All brands, in addition to moisture-resistant Teplona, are used in heated rooms with normal humidity, they are not intended for outdoor use. Any base, with the exception of wood and surfaces treated with lime-based compositions. It is allowed to finish with any building materials except for decorative plaster (another UNIS series - Silin is suitable for this purpose). Products are sold in secure bags from 5 to 30 kg, the mandatory conditions of the technology include the need to spend before the expiration date.

Overview of features and properties

The main components of Teplon are gypsum, synthetic additives and filler. For the latter, perlite is used - a swollen crumb of mica, it is she who helps the plaster to keep heat well. Due to the limitation in the thickness of the applied layer and the high price, the material is not considered as an independent heat insulator, but it enhances the thermal resistance of structures. The key technical characteristics of plaster include:

The recommended application temperature is within +5-30 °C.
The permissible thickness of the layer not reinforced with mesh is 5-50 mm.
The average consumption with a thickness of 5 mm is 4-4.5 kg / m2.
The viability of the solution is at least 50 minutes, the final hardening is 5-7 days.
Strength: for compression - not less than 2.5 MPa, for separation - 0.3.
Thermal conductivity coefficient -0.23 W/m °C.

Material consumption

The optimal scope of application of this UNIS series is leveling work, the required amount depends largely on the curvature of the walls or ceilings. When applying a layer up to 10 mm thick, the consumption of plaster per m2 does not exceed 10 kg, the average value is 8.5. User reviews confirm the value indicated by the manufacturer, it is noted that the composition is distributed without problems in a thin layer and does not form shrinkage or cracks. According to the instructions, the material is not suitable for sealing gaps with a depth of more than 7 cm, the maximum allowable thickness when leveling ceiling structures is 30 mm.

Changing the proportions or introducing foreign substances is not allowed; in order to reduce the consumption of Teplon UNIS mixtures, preliminary preparation is carried out aimed at increasing adhesion (degreasing, dust removal) and filling large voids with other, more budgetary compositions.

When working with large areas, it is advisable to buy options marked MH (machine application). According to the manufacturer, their consumption practically does not differ from conventional brands, but, according to reviews, it is slightly more than the indicated 8 kg (but not higher than 10). Savings in this case are achieved by reducing labor costs. The maximum consumption is observed with a moisture-resistant non-shrinking variety - according to the instructions for use, it reaches 6.5 kg with a layer of up to 5 mm.

User Reviews

“I switched to plaster mixtures from Unis a long time ago, they are not inferior in quality and characteristics, but they are cheaper. Almost all brands of this company are identical to each other and differ little, but in general they are easy to use. I consider their good thermal conductivity, resistance to moisture, good vapor permeability and strength as a big plus. For gluing with thin wallpaper, I advise Eunice Teplon White gypsum plaster, it does not need to be painted.

Alexander, Tula.

“I am engaged in repair and construction, I use the moisture-resistant Teplon plaster mixture for slopes and in bathrooms. Until now, it has not caused any complaints - no cracks, fits well and is quite elastic. I don’t recommend throwing Teplon with a thick layer, the composition slides along with the mesh, but with a thickness of 1-2 cm there are no problems at all. When working, you should take care of clean water in advance, at least 15 liters will be required for a package of 30 kg, all tools must be washed within an hour.

Sergey, Voronezh.

“For me, the only difference between Rothband and Teplon is the price. Thermal insulation properties, hardening time and adhesion quality are the same for them, they do not become covered with cracks, both grades are easily processed. Perhaps, when comparing after a long service life, the differences will manifest themselves, but I doubt it. According to reviews, Rotband is better in terms of strength, but I think that in fact it all depends on the application technology and operating conditions.

Vladimir, Kursk.

“When repairing my house, I used heat-saving plaster Teplon Bely, laid it in 2 layers of 2 cm each - a layer of 4 cm, according to the manufacturers, does not lie down - it starts to float. Both layers dried quickly, no cracks. The material is quite easily leveled and processed, does not require finishing puttying. But I did not notice a special effect of energy saving.

Pavel, Moscow.

“Previously, I used only ordinary cement-sand plasters and gypsum putties, I decided to try ready-made leveling mixtures, I settled on Teplon - it’s easy to buy, all the stores are packed with it. The material requires skill and getting used to, I didn’t get a smooth wall right away. But then I decided to use it for applying small layers - it is very convenient to use.”

Anna, St. Petersburg.

Most often, plaster mixtures are used for interior decoration. They are easy and quick to apply, while such compositions are distinguished by an affordable price. In addition, plaster is a versatile material for preparing bathroom walls and other rooms for finishing. Unis is the leader in sales of dry mortars. One of the most popular compositions from this company is Teplon - gypsum-based plaster. Consider the features of this material and start, of course, with the pros and cons.

Advantages and disadvantages

Modern gypsum plaster Eunice Teplon compares favorably with:

Good vapor permeability, thanks to which a microclimate that is healthy for humans is created in the room.
Low thermal conductivity. A heat-insulating layer is created on the surface, which enhances the heat-shielding characteristics of the premises.
Environmental friendliness. The composition of gypsum plaster Teplon includes synthetic and natural components that cannot harm health.
Economy.
No shrinkage or cracking.
Ease of application.
Low weight, due to which the load on the plane of the treated surface is significantly reduced.
Quick grip.
No need to use finishing putty. The treated surface will be slightly glossy, so additional finishing can be omitted.

However, despite the numerous advantages, this composition has a low pot life (material must be used within 50 minutes). Also, some builders note the reduced strength of the material. However, they are usually compared with more expensive drywall, to which Teplon is somewhat inferior in terms of technical characteristics. In addition, the compositions of these materials also differ, so it is not entirely correct to compare them.

The composition of Teplona

The main component of the mixture is gypsum, which acts as a link. In addition, Teplon contains a natural material - perlite, which is a swollen crumb of natural mica. Thanks to this component, the plaster retains heat. In addition, perlite makes the mixture very light and speeds up the process of its solidification. On the other hand, it is precisely because of this component that plaster cannot be used for outdoor work.

In addition to the fine-grained filler, synthetic additives are added to the mixture.

In terms of composition, Eunice products practically do not differ from similar Knauf Rotband compositions. Therefore, it is impossible to say which is better than Rotband or Teplon. However, there are a few differences:

Eunice is a Russian manufacturer and Knauf is a German company.
The cost of domestic putty will be approximately 60 rubles lower.

In all other respects, these are two identical compositions. Therefore, you choose - Teplon or Rotband. If we talk about the properties of these compounds, then they are also no different.

Properties and cost of Teplona

Before moving on to finishing work, it will be useful to familiarize yourself with the technical characteristics and properties of gypsum plaster:

The strength is 2.5 MPa per 1 cm 2. At the same time, the plaster can withstand a pressure of more than 25 kg. By the way, the strength characteristics of the same drywall are not much more (3-5 MPa).
The maximum layer thickness for ceilings is 3 cm, and for walls 5 cm. However, it is better to apply plaster with a layer of about 0.5-0.7 cm. If you want to increase the thickness of the finishing material, you can use a reinforcing mesh.
Frost resistance - F35.
Colors. The plaster is available in two colors - white and gray. It should be borne in mind that the white mixture may differ slightly from the gray composition in its properties, so before using it, be sure to read the annotation on the package.
The thermal conductivity of Teplona is 0.23 W / m o C.
Adhesion. The solution adheres well to the surface. The adhesion level is 1.0 kgf/cm 2 . Due to this, when applying a layer up to 0.7 cm, it is not necessary to use a reinforcing mesh.
Moisture absorption. Gypsum plaster, which includes perlite, absorbs moisture very well.
Consumption per 10 kg is about 4.5-5.5 kg of Teplona. Mixes are sold in packs of 15 and 30 kg. If we talk about the consumption per 1 m 2, then the "square" will take no more than 8.5-10 kg of the mixture. At a cost, this will be about 130 rubles.

If we talk about the cost of mixtures, then:

Eunice Teplon white plaster will cost 150 rubles for a 15 kg package and about 340 rubles for a 30 kg bag.
The gray composition is slightly cheaper from 278 to 310 for 30 kg.

Before buying, it is worth deciding on the scope of work and clarifying whether the selected composition is suitable for a particular room.

Application areas of plaster

The excellent technical characteristics of the mixture allow it to be used for various finishing works. Most often it is used for leveling and finishing surfaces in residential premises and medical institutions with normal humidity levels. This composition can be safely used in children's bedrooms, as it does not contain caustic or toxic substances.

Teplon can be applied on any surface: brick, cement-sand, wood, gypsum, concrete and foam concrete.

The only condition is that you cannot use plaster for the bathroom if it will act as a finishing layer. It is possible to apply Teplon only under a tile. In all other respects, there are no restrictions on use.

After buying the plaster, you need to study the instructions for use and you can start surface treatment.

How to apply Teplon

At the first stage, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work. To do this, remove old plaster and wallpaper from the surface to be treated. Also, the walls need to be washed and dried. All "growths" must be cut off. Despite the fact that the composition has good adhesion, it is recommended to apply small notches to the surface. After that, the walls must be coated with a primer (2-3 layers) and the Teplon solution should be diluted.

Preparing the mixture

The solution must be diluted according to the proportions indicated on the package. The standard ratio is 1 kg of plaster per 0.45-0.55 l of water. However, if you use white plaster, then the volume of water must be increased to 1.8 -2.2 liters.

Healthy! If there is too much water, the solution will simply spread over the surface. If you are greedy with water, then the diluted composition will begin to crack.

The mixture must be thoroughly mixed with water, it is best if an electric mixer or a drill with an appropriate nozzle is at hand. After mixing, the solution must be insisted for 5-6 minutes, after which the plaster is re-mixed.

It is recommended to prepare the mixture in small portions. Some believe that it is better to make a large amount of material at once, so as not to suffer later with constant mixing and waiting. In this case, this approach will not work. The term of "life" of the plaster is only 50 minutes (it is recommended to keep within half an hour), after this time the batch will become unusable. If you use already "overdue" material, the coating will be very fragile. After a while, such plaster will simply crumble.

Applying plaster

To apply the prepared solution to the wall, it is enough to use a trowel or spatula (preferably different sizes). It is best to purchase tools that are made of stainless steel.

Healthy! You can use the mixture only at temperatures from +5 to +30 degrees.

After the composition has been applied to the surface, it is necessary to process it with a rule to remove all irregularities. After a few hours, the plaster will harden.

If you used white plaster, then 1.5-2 hours after its application, you need to walk over the surface with a sponge float.

After that, you need to wait about a week until the composition completely hardens. Complete drying is calculated based on the fact that a 10 mm layer will completely harden in 5-7 days at a temperature of +22 degrees and normal humidity.

In custody

Eunice Teplon is one of the highest quality plasters, which is characterized by durability, low cost and excellent performance. Using this mixture will allow you to significantly save on finishing work.
