Morcem® Therm Panel EPS
Thermal insulation panel made of self-extinguishing expanded polystyrene, used in the MORCEM® THERM external thermal insulation system. The expanded polystyrene panel is used as insulation within the MORCEM® THERM System both in new and restoration work.
Additional information
Composition
Thermal insulation panel made of self-extinguishing expanded polystyrene.
Features and applications
- Light and manageable material.
- Easy to cut.
- Permeable to water vapor.
- Range of thicknesses which provide different levels of thermal insulation.
- Excellent resistance to aging.
Instructions for use
- The panels are fixed to the substrate using MORCEM® THERM adhesive mortar, which is applied to the panel beforehand, using the method of a bead of mortar or a notched trowel. The placement of the panels is done in a staggered way (minimum gap between the vertical joints of the panels of 25 cm).
- After a minimum of 24 hours, sand down the surface of the panels to correct any slight unevenness.
- Put fastening anchors into the panels, 8 units per m². The top part of the anchor should be inserted a few mm into the panels. Afterwards the surface over anchor should be smoothed using MORCEM® THERM mortar.
- Finally, coat the panels with MORCEM® THERM mortar, reinforced with MORCEM® THERM mesh.
Cautions and recommendations
- When applying the adhesive mortar to the panels, apply this product 2 cm away from the edges of the panel to prevent the adhesive overflowing and generating thermal bridges when the panel is pressed onto the substrate.
- Reinforce all the corners of the panels using the profiles available in the MORCEM® THERM System.
- In areas exposed to impact, reinforce the panels by using a double MORCEM® THERM mesh.
- Avoid joints of panels being aligned with window vertices and corners of holes so as to prevent cracks forming.
- Reinforce these vertices with 20 x 40 cm strips of mesh.
- Material is not resistant to solar radiation and organic solvents.
Packaging
The panels should be stored in a dry place protected from the rain, sun and extreme temperatures.Ultraviolet radiation can cause degradation of the surface of the panel if it is stored directly exposed to sunlight.Product considered Non-Hazardous for transport.
