Izonil Waterproof and Breathable Plaster
Description
Izonil Waterproof and Breathable Plaster provides a totally waterproof barrier, without the need for a membrane. Applied direct to walls it seals and prevents the ingress of water either side of the plaster while remaining vapour and air-permeable, allowing trapped moisture to evaporate. It does not contain harmful or flammable ingredients and so is environmentally friendly.

Izonil Waterproof and Breathable Plaster is a high quality, cement/lime based, fibre reinforced, rendering and plastering mortar for masonry that meets the requirements of BS EN 998-1. Manufactured to strictly controlled specifications, it is supplied as a ready mixed powder that requires only the addition of water on site.

Can be used on any conventional masonry such as brick, stone, blockwork and concrete from 15 to 30mm thickness. NOT suitable for application onto plasterboards! Izonil Plaster is a fine grade mortar and so offers a ‘one coat’ solution providing undercoat and professional finish coat.

Surface preparation
Before applying Izonil Waterproof and Breathable Plaster mechanically prepare the substrate to provide a structurally sound surface. Remove all existing render, plaster, grease, oil, dirt and deleterius material. All water inrushes must be cured and stopped before applying Izonil Plaster. Clean the surface with clean water. To maximize cohesion a thin mixture of cement and water slurry or other standard primer must be applied on to the surface before plastering.
Mixing
Add 4,5 to 5 liters of clean water to each bag (25kg) of Izonil Waterproof and Breathable Plaster. Mixing is recommended by hand or concrete mixer. Working time of approximately 1 to 2 hours.
Application
Izonil Waterproof and Breathable Plaster can be applied by trowel or mortar gun. Applicable in one single layer, 15mm thick or in 2-3 layers, 10mm thick per layer. Final layer can be finished with standard plastering tools, while the product is still workable.
Curring
Drying time: 28 days in ambient conditions.
Must be protected from drying too quickly.
Final layer of the Izonil Plaster could be painted or tiled after drying.
