Application Techniques
Preparation and application videos of Firewall render and texture systems for use on PVC and FC Perminant formwork, FC Sheet and AAC Panel.
Step 1
Surface Preparation
Using a slow speed grinder and coarse diamond blade, scratch the surface of the PVC Panel and remove any concrete splash. Only slow speed is required so as to scratch and abrade the surface.
Step 2
Remove Residue
Using a stiff brush remove any concrete dust and PVC resudue from the panel face and jointing.
Step 3 - Perminant Adhesion
Firewall Render Base Coat
Armatex Firewall Render is a 100% Acrylic Bound Render, filled with light weight aggregates and specialty additives that promote permanent adhesion to PVC. The product is applied direct to the PVC panel and can be applied at a thickness of up to 20 mm in one single application.
Step 3 - Perminant Adhesion
Firewall Render Base Coat
Armatex Firewall Render is a 100% Acrylic Bound Render, filled with light weight aggregates and specialty additives that promote permanent adhesion to PVC. The product is applied direct to the PVC panel and can be applied at a thickness of up to 20 mm in one single application.
Step 3 - Aggraprime - Perminant Adhesion
Firewall Aggraprime - Base Coat
Firewall Aggraprime is is the base coat primer required as part of the Astec DTS non combutable render system for PVC Panel, cement sheet formwork and off form concrete. It is a 100% Acrylic Bound primer that is filled with specialty additives that promote permanent adhesion to PVC Panel. It is roll applied with a medium black spaghetti cover then allowed to stand until it is semi cured. While semi wet, Firewall 1530 NC render is applied then float finished.
Step 4 - Leveling Coat - Base Coat Dependent
Firewall Skim or Firewall 1530 NC Render
Firewall skim is a applied over Firewall Render base coat or Firewall 1530 Non Combutible Render is applied over Firewall Aggraprime. They both act as a leveling coat that can be float finished ready for the texture coat application.
Step 5 - Leveling Coat
Float Finish Leveling Coat
Float finish the leveling coat until a smooth level and defect free surface is achieved. Use a hard polypropylene or light weight polystyrene float.
Smooth, Level & Tough
Float Finish Completed
The final float finished surface of the Firewall Skim or 1530 NC Render is extemely well bound, level and provides a perfect low suction surface for the texture coat application. The corners and architectural jointing are tough and chip resistant.
