Mantotherm EPS Thermal Insulation Panel
Expanded Polystyrene Panel With High Pressure Resistance
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Expanded polystyrene panel with high pressure resistance, used for the thermal insulation of
walls, columns and girders.
AREAS OF USE
Mantotherm EPS Thermal Insulation Panel is used as heat insulation material for the
walls, terraces, floors and basements of buildings.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
• Highly resistant to pressure.
• Preserves the buildings from the outer atmospheric impacts, prevents corrosion and
elongates the service life of buildings.
• Capable of successfully bearing the short- and long-term mechanical charges, which may
occur in a building under normal conditions.
• Resistant to impacts.
• Has an infinite economic life. The insulating nature of the product does not change in time.
• Poses low thermal conductivity.
• Does not lose its thickness and endures through the time.
• Very lightweight, easy to carry.
• Easy to application.
• Environmentally friendly.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Application Surfaces
Indoors Walls;
- Finishing coat applied surfaces
Outdoors Walls;
- Roughcast applied surfaces
Surface Preparation
• The application surface should be dry, clean, sound and dust-free, and should have been
cleansed of oil, dirt or any materials that may prevent adhesion, and any such materials as
mortar and cement residues should be scraped from the application surface.
• The old plaster coat, blistering and cracks on the facades should be scraped, be repaired
with MegaTamir İ or MegaTamir K, whereby a sound surface should be obtained.
• In the case of bevels in excess of 2 cm on the surface; they should be repaired with
MegaTamir İ or MegaTamir K before insulation application.
• The surface to be insulated should not be moist, and the flooring trowel coating and
internal and external wall plasters should have dried.
• There should not be any moisture in progress upward on the surface, the waterproofing
should be completed as necessary and should have risen 30 cm above the ground soil.
• The insulation application should be initiated minimum 4 weeks after the application of
roughcast.
• The rain gutters, cabling elements and the like on the façade should be placed over the
system and be deployed in some 6 to 7 cm distance to the system.
Application Methods
• Mantotherm EPS Thermal Insulation Panel, the reserve side of should have been
applied Mantotherm Adhesive Mortar, should be firmly placed on the sub-basement
profile.
• In order for Mantotherm EPS Thermal Insulation Panel to thoroughly contact the wall
145
and to ensure the smoothness of the surface, the panel should be slipped slightly and
adhered to the wall, be gauged and linaged.
• Mantotherm EPS Thermal Insulation Panel should be furnished in tusk tenon fashion.
The tusk tenon should be continued also in the corner joint spots of the building.
• Any unintentional gaps between any two Mantotherm EPS Thermal Insulation Panel
should strictly be filled with pieces to be cut from the same material. Due care must be taken
to ensure that the adhesive does not overflow at the edges, where panels join, any overflowing
adhesive should be cleaned and the panel edges should be ensured to be clean.
• The corners of the such gaps on the surface as window gaps and door gaps should be
aligned with the panel joints, the Thermal Insulation Panels should be placed as a whole on
the corners, screw threads should be cut and be sized for the gaps. Hence will be eliminated
the risk of cracks on the corners.
• Mechanical fixation on the surface of the Thermal Insulation Panels in addition to chemical
adhesion is of utmost importance for long-lasting performance. Minimum 24 hours after the
adhesion of the Thermal Insulation Panels, the dowelling should be performed with thermal
insulation panel dowels Mantotherm Thermal Insulation Panel Dowels. Appropriate and
suitable dowels should be selected with due consideration of the insulating material employed
and the surface characteristics.
Application Recommendations
• The product should not be applied to such surfaces, which are exposed to risk of freezing
within the next 24 hours, which are frozen or the frost of which is thawing.
• Due care should be given to prevent the exposure of the material to direct sunlight in hot
weather conditions.
• The product should not be applied on extremely windy weather conditions or on hot
surfaces, which are exposed to direct sunlight; and in the cases, where application is
imperative under such conditions, the environment and the surface should be prepared for
application in advance.
• The product should not be applied in rainy weather conditions, and the application surface
should be preserved from rain for a period of 24 hours.
• Refer to our technical support hotline for recommendation on different surface applications.
(PHONE: 444 4 595)
Surface and Ambient Temperature

application.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Application Equipment
• Steel notched trowel (for EPS adhered by dredging)
• Steel trowel
Equipment Cleaning
The equipment used should be cleaned with water following the application before the
mortar dries.
