DECORK ALFAREFLEX"
The union between reflectance and thermal comfort
THE UNION BETWEEN REFLECTANCE AND THERMAL COMFORT
Decork Alfareflex ensures a high level of insulation from heat, thus enhancing energy savings and thermal comfort
INFORMATION
THE AVANT-GARDE OF MATERIALS
The raw materials used in the formulation that make it special have one common point: their natural origin. Make the most of the properties of one of the most effective thermal insulators present in nature: cork.
BRAND
Diasen
PRODUCT TYPE
Decork Alfareflex
APPLICATION FIELDS"
The product is designed for coating and decorating external facades, when combined with Diasen’s thermal insulation systems. Decork Alfareflex shows excellent adhesion abilities on any kind of support and therefore, when combined with the correct primer, it can be used on different substrates: metal, plaster, cementitious supports and tiles.
SMOOTH SURFACES
-On particularly smooth and not absorbent surfaces use the specific primer Color Primer (see technical data sheet). -For supports not mentioned in technical data sheet, please contact Diasen technical department.
BENEFITS
-Excellent high solar rays reflectance. -It helps the energy savings and thermal comfort. -Contributes to the hygrometric regulation of the environment. -High elasticity and resistance to cracks. -Easy and quick application. -LEED accredited.
RESISTANCE
Resistant to UV rays, weathering and salty environments.
SRI
Allows the wall exposed to solar radiation to remain cool, ensuring comfort and energy savings.
WOOD
Thoroughly clean the surface by removing dust, debris and detaching parts. The wood must be completely dry, well resistant and stable. Treat the wooden surfaces with the primer Grip Primer (see technical data sheet) before the application of Decork Alfareflex. Do not apply the product on wooden supports, match-boarding or on supports with many joints.
PLASTERBOARD
On plasterboard surfaces, make sure that the joints are sealed and smoothed; then, apply Grip Primer (see technical data sheet).
METAL
Thoroughly clean the surface by removing all dirt and potential varnishes not well attached. Before the application of Decork Alfareflex, apply Grip Primer (see technical data sheet) on the surface. In presence of rust, before the application of Color Primer, treat the surface with an rust protection (see technical data sheet). If the metal surface is painted, it is recommended to perform a test to verify the correct adhesion of the system.
THERMAL INSULATION
- λ = 0,055 W/mK
- Contributes to insulation against heat and cold.
THERMAL COMFORT IN THE HEART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
“Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one’s own sunshine.”
ELASTICITY
The combination of elastic resins and cork provides elasticity and resistance to injury.
ENERGY SAVING
Avoids thermal shock, heat loss and overheating. Conductivity and reflection of the sun’s rays avoid heat overload, thus saving energy.
HYGROMETRIC REGULATION
Contributes to the hygrometric regulation of the environment, avoiding mould and condensation.
STORAGE
Store the product in its original containers perfectly closed, in well ventilated areas, away from sunlight, water and frost, at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C (41°F and 95°F). Storage time: 12 months.
TREATMENT OF JOINTS
Potential joints on the supports (joints between panels made of concrete or of other materials, expansion, control or insulation joints) must be treated, before the application of Decork Alfareflex, with the polyurethane sealant Diaseal Strong (see technical data sheet). Treat points in contact with doorsteps or windows with the sealant Diaseal Strong. For supports not mentioned in technical data sheet, please contact Diasen technical department
OLD PLASTER
Make sure that the plaster is compact and well bonded to the support, otherwise remove it partially or totally and re-make it. In case of painted plasters, given the wide variety of paints on the market, it is recommended to perform an adhesion test to verify the suitability for the application or the need to use D20 (see data sheet) and/or Color Primer (see data sheet) as primers. Decork Alfareflex can directly be applied on rough plasters, yet when dusty supports are to be dealt with, use Color Primer (see technical data sheet).
CONCRETE
In case of new realised cement substrate, this must be sufficiently cured. In presence of lesions, holes or irregular areas, restore them with suitable cement mortar, such as Rebuild40 R4 (see data sheet). For a better adhesion on smooth and not moist concrete, it is recommended to Grip Primer (see technical data sheet). On moist supports, nut not onto the ground, in order to avoid blistering or detachment phenomena, use Vapostop (see technical data sheet) as a primer. If the support is affected by rising damp, it is necessary the use of WATstop (see technical data sheet). WATstop can also be used to fill small cracks and to level the support. On rough concrete use the primer Vapostop (see technical data sheet).
YIELD
0.9–1.2 kg/m2 in 2 coats to reach a 2 mm (0.08 in) of thickness.
PACKAGING
18 kg (39.6 lb) plastic bucket. Pallet: 32 bucket (576 kg – 1269.8 lb).
PREPARATION OF SUPPORT
The support must be completely hardened and resistant enough. The surface must be perfectly levelled, thoroughly clean, dry, well consolidated, without oils, greases debris or detaching parts or other materials that may compromise the product adhesion. If the surface is crumbly in its entirety, totally scrape it until obtaining a good support and restore lesions or damaged parts with suitable mortar. In case of hydro-cleaning, wait for the complete drying of the support. Potential humidity in the support or the vapour due to radiation may compromise the adhesion of the applied product. Decork Alfareflex adheres to different kind of support without the primer; nonetheless, it is anyway recommended to perform a test to verify the adhesion or the need to use a primer.
