Traditerm® Panel EPS

Thermal insulation panel made of self-extinguishing expanded polystyrene, used in the TRADITERM® external thermal insulation system. The expanded polystyrene panel is used as insulation within the TRADITERM® System both in new and restoration work. Its a light and workable material, also easy to cut. The range of thicknesses provide different levels of thermal insulation. It has an excellent resistance to aging.

Technical Caracteristics

Thermal insulation panel made of self-extinguishing expanded polystyrene.

Advantages and Uses

  • 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.

Application Procedure

  • The panels are fixed to the substrate using TRADITERM® 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 TRADITERM® mortar.
  • Finally, coat the panels with TRADITERM® mortar, reinforced with TRADITERM® mesh.

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 TRADITERM® System.
  • In areas exposed to impact, reinforce the panels by using a double TRADITERM® 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 and Storage

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.

The information and instructions in this datasheet are based on our current tests and technical knowledge. They are intended as general guidance and do not constitute a binding commitment by PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC. It is the sole responsibility of the user to verify, prior to use, that the product is suitable for the intended application and to ensure that it is applied correctly and in accordance with applicable regulations and good industry practice.

PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC cannot control how its products are applied on site throughout the entire project and therefore cannot accept responsibility for their application by contractors or other parties involved in the execution of the work. Support visits to the jobsite by our technical staff do not change that. Our responsibility is limited exclusively to defects that can be directly attributed to the supplied products, whether used individually or as part of a system, caused by manufacturing defects.

 

It is the responsibility of the project designer, site manager, contractor, or other relevant professionals to ensure that the selected products are appropriate for the specific project, taking into account their properties, the substrate, site conditions, and any existing issues.

In the event of a claim, the original packaging must be provided to ensure proper product traceability.

Any performance values stated for PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC products or construction solutions, whether in UNE standards or other applicable standards, are based solely on the specific test conditions defined in those standards (such as substrate type, temperature, and humidity).
