Features & Benefits

• A homogeneous and water-dilutable product with paste consistency
• Offers protection against humidity, very high and very low temperatures
• Eliminates thermal bridging and water capillarity
• Does not require special transportation and storage conditions. Keep out of direct sun during transportation and storage. The temperature range for transportation and storage is between 5 - 40°C
• Using Zenova IR both internally and externally maximises the insulation benefits for both warm and cold climates
• Easily applied by any general contractor via trowel
• Can help buildings qualify for government energy efficiency grants
• Simple application & thin coat minimizes labour application costs
• Instant efficiency improvements
• Short and continuous ROI
• Proprietary thermal insulation retains internal heat by greatly reducing heat transfer
• Anti-condensation characteristics
• Excellent adhesion to exterior brick and concrete surfaces and plasterboard for internal use
• Eco friendly, non-toxic, non-flammable
• Odourless
• Quick drying time
• No additional painting required

Application

Installation of Zenova IR shall be performed by trained applicators for such work, with respect to the specific technical regulations.

Application of the render shall be done only in favorable atmospheric conditions: ambient temperature min. 10˚C, acceptable aeration, relative humidity of max. 80%.

Application of Zenova IR is carried out after the primer has completely dried. Before application, the product must be homogenized well by medium stirring (300-400 rpm). Application of the product shall be done by trowel or by plaster spraying machine. Minimum application temperature: 10˚C. Multiple layers shall be applied only after the previous layer has dried.

Also, you can apply the Zenova IR render by adding 1 kilo of Portland cement at 20 liters of Zenova IR under a moderate stirring of 400 rpm for about 5 minutes until a homogeneous plaster-like consistency is achieved, integrating the cement particles into the Zenova IR paste. After mixing, the mixture can be applied by a trowel. A single trowel crossing equals 1 coating layer.

Recommended total thickness (with or without cement) = 5 mm. May be applied as thin as 1mm at a consumption rate of 1L/m². Thermal performance and actual product consumption may vary depending on the substrate, equipment used, application method, and building type. Let each layer dry before applying the next layer.

Theoretical product consumption is 5L/m².

Clean tools with water before the mixture dries.

Surface Preparation

The surfaces on which Zenova IR will be applied must be clean, dry and dust-free.

Priming the Surface

Zenova Primer can be applied on the prepared surface by using a brush, roller brush, or by airless spray gun. The primer layer dries in approximately 1 hour, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.

Product consumption for primer: 50 - 100 g/m².

Package, Storing, Transport

Packed in PE recipients of different sizes. Store in non-humid places, at temperatures between 5-35˚C. Keep away from freezing and direct sunlight.

Shelf Life

The product has a shelf life of 36 months from the date of production if stored in proper conditions.

Testing

Zenova IR has been independently tested to the following standards by multiple accredited testing agencies. (Reports available for download from the data sheets tab further above.)

• BS EN 13823 (SBI): 2020
• ASTM C518-17
• BS EN 11925-2
