Plasticiser for Insulation Systems (Anti-Frost) by Bayris

Bayris Plasticiser for Insulation Systems is a special anti-frost additive designed to modify the properties of dry construction mixes, allowing façade insulation works with polystyrene foam, extruded polystyrene and mineral wool during the autumn-spring period and in conditions where temperatures may drop, for example at night. The plasticiser is suitable for all cement-based adhesive mixes used for fixing thermal insulation system components and does not affect their final performance characteristics.

Bayris Anti-Frost Plasticiser for Insulation Systems preserves the properties of applied adhesive mixes during temperature fluctuations from 0 °C to -8 °C, accelerates adhesive setting time and lowers the crystallisation temperature of water. It enables the development of the minimum required early strength while improving the final strength, density and waterproofing performance of the finished coating. The use of this additive reduces water demand during adhesive preparation by up to 30%, increases workability and improves ease of application.

Before use, thoroughly mix the anti-frost additive for insulation systems.

The plasticiser should be added directly to the adhesive mix together with the mixing water. Reduce the amount of mixing water by 20–30%; the exact amount should be determined experimentally. To achieve this, add half of the recommended amount of water together with the plasticiser to the adhesive mix (following the recommended dosage), then gradually add the remaining water until the required adhesive workability is achieved.

Attention! The minimum temperature of the adhesive mix must be +5 °C. Apply at ambient temperatures from 0 °C to +25 °C and relative humidity above 50%.

Manufacturer’s Guarantee: the manufacturer guarantees that the plasticiser complies with the declared technical characteristics and accepts no liability for use of the material for purposes or under conditions not specified in these instructions. These instructions are advisory in nature and do not replace the professional skills of the applicator.

Do not add the additive directly to dry components.

Important! When using this additive, especially at low temperatures, in addition to these instructions it is necessary to comply with all applicable regulations for thermal insulation systems, including the requirement not to carry out insulation works at temperatures below 0 °C. After completion of the work, temperatures may drop to -8 °C.

0.5 L per 25 kg of adhesive mix.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Seek medical advice if necessary.

Dispose of waste in accordance with applicable waste management regulations. Containers and liquid material residues should be taken to a construction waste collection site or a designated hazardous waste collection facility. Do not dispose of construction waste in general household waste containers.
