PENOSIL
Premium SpeedFix EPS&XPS 878 Foam adhesive with EasyGun applicator for narrow joints

VALUES

• Great adhesive properties.
• Low curing pressure and post expansion.
• Good thermal and sound insulation.
• Works in all weather conditions.
• Strong structure.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Surfaces must be clean from dust, loose particles and oil stains.

Moisten dry surfaces with water mist (only at temperatures above 32 degrees) to ensure a faster curing time and better end results.

Application with foam gun: Shake the can vigorously at least 20 times. Hold the foam can in upright position, turn the gun to the can by holding the gun handle with one hand, and turn the can with the other hand. Make sure that the gun is not pointed at other persons when turning it. The can must not be screwed to the gun with the valve upside down or by turning the gun on the can. The foam output can be adjusted by the gun trigger.

EasyGun applicator: Shake the can vigorously at least 20 times. Remove the cap. Hold the foam can in an upright position with the valve up. Place the applicator onto the valve, press slightly until the applicator is fixed. Hold the can upside down when extruding the foam. Foam output can be adjusted with the applicator trigger.

Insulation boards and interior design boards: Apply the foam adhesive to the board surface in a continuous flow, parallel with the sides of the board (3 to 4 cm from the edge) and one strip in the middle, parallel to the longest side (up to 25 cm between adhesive strips). After applying the foam adhesive onto the board wait 2 to 3 min and then press the board onto the wall. The board can be adjusted/straightened during the next 5 min. With one foam can 10 m² of wall surface can be covered with insulation boards.

Windowsills: Before fixing the windowsill, make sure the base surface is levelled. Spacers must be used to support the windowsill; foam can only be used as an adhesive. Apply foam adhesive to the base surface 3 to 4 cm from the edge. Weights must be used to fix the windowsill until the foam adhesive is cured.

Construction blocks: Foam adhesive can be used for building non-load-bearing interior walls. The first row of blocks must be well levelled using mortar. Foam adhesive should be applied to both vertical and horizontal surfaces. Wait for a few minutes after applying the foam adhesive and then press the stone surfaces together.

Foam adhesive can only be used in case even distribution of loads from block to block is ensured. Not suitable for distributing or carrying loads.

TIPS

• Air temperature during use: 41°F to 95 °F, best results at 68 °F.
• Can temperature during application: 41°F to 77°F, best results at 68°F.
• Always follow building design, building regulations, standards or other relevant guidelines concerning additional mechanical fastening when covering insulation boards with cladding materials. Use of insulation support anchors is always recommended.
• Consult with a sales agent, a dealer or an architect regarding compatibility with various stone-based materials and other technical issues. Due to the wide variety of construction materials, we recommend a preliminary compatibility test.
• Working at low temperatures, the foam can must be prewarmed to room temperature (around +68°F). Cold foam can has to be warmed with water or air (max. 86 °F) before starting work in low temperatures.
• Use Penosil Premium Foam Cleaner 929 to clean tools and surfaces from uncured foam.

LIMITATIONS

• Can should not be exposed to temperature over 122°F, kept near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
• Protect cured foam against UV rays.
• Store upright at 41°F to 86°F.
• Does not adhere to polyethylene (PE), PTFE (Teflon®) or silicone surfaces.
• Cured foam needs to be covered with a suitable material to protect against UV rays.
• The foam adhesive has sufficient strength for fixing insulation boards. Always follow building design, building regulations, standards or other relevant guidelines concerning additional mechanical fastening when covering insulation boards with cladding materials. Use of insulation support anchors is always recommended.
• In general it is not recommended to use this product on bituminous surfaces. In some cases, e.g. fixing insulation boards on bitumen treated foundations before backfilling, the product has sufficient adhesion. Always test before use.
• Windowsills must have additional constructional support, foam can only be used as an adhesive.
