Fibrexpan ® implementation techniques
Fibrexpan® is a spray-on coating. The spraying technique, also known as flocking, consists in applying Fibrexpan® fibres under pressure, using special machines.
The sprayed thickness will be defined according to the desired rating for fire resistance, thermal resistance, alpha w or sound attenuation. Fibrexpan® can be applied in thicknesses of up to 240 mm, without intermediate reinforcement (except at altitudes above 900 m)
The machine generally comprises a feed hopper, a carding device, a blowing device (fan, turbine or blower), a hose for conveying the mixture to be sprayed. A spray gun and water.
The product is carded in the machine and then conveyed through a hose to a spray gun using compressed air. Water-fed nozzles are placed around the hose outlet to wet the product before it is sprayed onto the substrate.
A bonding agent that is suitable for the substrate must be applied before the coating is sprayed on:
Projiso Fixo B® is used for concrete
Projiso Fixo M® is used for metal substrates
Or Projiso Fixo M+® can be used on both difficult substrates.
he applied coating will be finished with Projiso Fixo Dur® or Sidairless®
