Panel Pro

Self-extinguishing PU adhesive for bonding ETICS insulation boards. Thanks to the low post-expansion and the high consistency and adhesive strength of the newly applied adhesive, panels of different types and thicknesses – e.g. EPS, XPS, PU, rock or glass wool, etc. – can be installed on different types of substrate (mineral, brick, concrete, plaster, wood, metal, glass, plastic, slated membranes, aged/oxidised slated or bituminous membranes etc.) according to ETAG 004 test procedures for thermal insulation.

Instructions for use

The substrate must be solid and consistent, free of oil, grease, and dust. Especially when applying to non-porous substrates, it is advisable to moisten the substrate beforehand to ensure that the fresh product has sufficient moisture for complete cross-linking.

1. Shake the can for at least 15 seconds before use and repeat this operation after any work intervals.
2. Remove the protective cap. Turn the can upside down so that the valve is facing downwards and screw it onto the extrusion gun. Hold the gun barrel in the desired direction and press the spray trigger.
3. Apply the adhesive to the back of the panel and form a continuous line of about 2-3 cm, interrupted only at the corners, at a distance of 3 cm from the edge. Apply a W-shaped line of the same thickness to the center of the panel.
4. Wait one minute before placing the panel on the wall: the waiting time is necessary to prevent the post-expansion of the adhesive, even if limited, from causing visible misalignment between the panels. In any case, the panels must be laid before the adhesive surface film forms. An indicative time at 20°C is approximately 3 minutes. However, for a precise check, it is advisable to carry out a test on site to avoid the formation of a hardened film that no longer adheres.
5. Use a fixed starting point so that the first row of panels cannot slip, and align the panel with the adjacent elements, pressing it down firmly.
6. Depending on the temperature and humidity at the time of installation, the adhesive will have hardened sufficiently in 15-45 minutes; after 2 hours, any excess can be cut and sanded.
7. For the installation of insulation panels for external thermal insulation composite systems, proceed with mechanical fastening in accordance with the standard after 2 hours.
8. If the wall to be covered is not perfectly flat, mark reference points to align the insulation panels correctly and create a smooth, coplanar facade. Use wedges and screws to hold the panels in the correct position and remove them only after the adhesive has hardened (usually after 1 hour).

Cleaning
Uncured traces of Panel Pro, for example on clothing, window frames, etc., can be removed with polyurethane foam solvent.
Once cured, the product can only be removed mechanically (by scraping or sanding). Any residue in the valve can be easily removed once it has completely cured.

Storage

Store upright in a cool place. Avoid storing horizontally at all costs, as deposits may form under the valve, irreparably compromising the extrusion of the adhesive. Panel Pro has a storage stability of at least 18 months if the cylinder is stored upright in a cool (between +15 and +25 °C) and dry place in its original sealed packaging.

Warnings

Panel Pro contains flammable components and should therefore only be used in well-ventilated areas. The Panel Pro canister is a pressurized container. Read the information in the safety data sheet carefully.
