All usual substrates such as concrete, masonry, stone, plaster, wood, cold bituminous thick coatings, sand or slate surfaced bituminous sheeting, polystyrene, polyurethane and phenol resin foam, corrosion protected steel sheeting, fibre cement, gas concrete, particle board, plasterboard, gypsum fiberboard, fibre cement,hard PVC and emulsion paints.
Adhesive surfaces must be stable, clean, without bubbles and free of separating agents such as talcum, grease, oils, etc. Suitable are building moist, but not wet (water film, standing water) substrates.
Any cement slurries and sinter layers on mineral substrates must be removed mechanically. Bubbles in bituminous sheeting must be removed. To ensure perfect adhesion, the bituminous sheeting should have a fully covered surface.
Does not adhere to PE, PP. PTFE and silicone. All substrates should be tested for suitability with regard to adhesion and compatibility
An Expanding Foam Gun MUST be used when applying Gun Grade Cans.
Prior to using the product, cover all adjacent areas for protection against soiling. In windy conditions, precautions must be taken to ensure that Soudabond PLASTERBOARD cannot contaminate components, objects or persons in the vicinity.
Good ventilation must be ensured for indoor use. Wear protective goggles and gloves. Tightly screw the can to the thread in the gun and shake the gun about 20 times downwards so that the contents are mixed well to ensure an optimum adhesive quality and high yield. After extended periods of non-use, the can must be shaken again to obtain the required adhesive quality!
With the adjusting screw on the gun, adjust the adhesive bead to the required diameter. (The emptier the can, the more the adjusting screw needs to be opened). The gun must be held vertical during application.
A distance of 1 to 2 cm must be maintained between the nozzle and plasterboard panel/substrate while spraying.
Apply pressure to the plasterboard panel within about 8 minutes (20°C-65% R.H. – this time is shorter at higher temperature/humidity and longer at lower temperature / humidity). Do not tap or remove and reapply panels as this will damage the adhesive structure and reduce the adhesive strength substantially.
At high temperatures and low humidity in particular curing can be accelerated by lightly spraying the adhesive bead with water.
Prior to application, the substrate stability must be verified. This can also take place with a sealing tape test. In this test, sealing tape is applied to the substrate and quickly pulled off again. If old paint or plaster adheres to the adhesive tape, this means that the substrate does not have the necessary stability and must be reinforced or removed.
With chalking and highly absorbent substrates, the substrate adhesion can be improved with a deep solvent primer. Remove protruding concrete burr or excess plaster.
Soudabond PLASTERBOARD levels uneven surfaces up to 30mm. Three vertical adhesive beads are sufficient for the installation of plasterboard wider than 50cm. For panel widths below 50cm, a minimum of two adhesive beads must be applied.
General note: Do not load/subject the bond to traffic within the curing time of about 1 hour.
All open joints can be filled out with Soudabond PLASTERBOARD. Trim protruding, fully cured adhesive with a sharp knife. Soudabond PLASTERBOARD can be painted or plastered after curing.
Uncured Foam can be cleaned with Soudafoam Gun & Foam Cleaner or SWIPEX Cleaning Wipes prior to curing.
Cured foam can only be removed mechanically or with Soudal Cured PU Foam Remover.
