Level the surface and insulate!
Liquid thermal insulation coating
Bronya Light
Bronya Light thermal insulation has several functions: it serves as a putty – it levels the surface, provides thermal and sound insulation, and prevents mold and condensation from appearing at the joints of building structures. Bronya Light has very high thermal insulation characteristics and surpasses all standard types of thermal insulation. Bronya Light is applied during finishing works on structures to level internal and external surfaces made of concrete, brick, plaster, gypsum blocks and boards, aerated concrete, etc., at operating temperatures from -60°C to 120°C. A thermal insulation coating of Bronya Classic or Bronya Facade is applied to the Bronya Light putty when insulating external surfaces.
General information about the advantages of Bronya ceramic thermal insulation coatings can be found at Bronya products.
Adhere to the instructions below regarding preparation and use, as well as transport and storage, otherwise we do not guarantee the described material characteristics!
The outstanding features of the Bronya Light modification, which differentiate it from other Brony modifications, are as follows:
- The thermophysical properties of a 2-3 mm layer of Bronya Light material are identical to those of 100-150 mm thick masonry bricks.
- Surface temperature can be measured by any meter
- The use of thermal insulation material is cost-effective (for solving additional winter insulation problems) compared to almost any other insulation, as the price of Bronya Light warm filler is comparable to the price of ordinary plasters.
- It can be used on surfaces that require light insulation (to eliminate the cold wall effect, frost penetration, and condensation formation during severe frosts), as well as in places where thermophysical properties would require less than 1 mm LCTI Bronye (Facade or Classic)
- It can be used for multi-layer coatings with the possibility of applying any building material over our thermal insulation coating.
- Work on filling and thermal insulation can be carried out simultaneously, which significantly reduces labor costs.
- The material can be applied using plaster spraying machines and high-pressure airless spray guns.
- The layer thickness can be up to 3 mm in a single pass.
- The layer will dry faster if the temperature is increased to 50-60 °C.
- The material can be mixed with a construction mixer at any speed
What couldn't be done before is now possible with Bronya Light material!
1. The walls will be insulated and plastered in one layer if Bronya Light is used
Wall insulation is a rather complex and labor-intensive process that cannot always be carried out using conventional building materials, which are bulky and require additional labor costs for installation. The warm filling material Bronya Light can be covered with any decorative materials such as wallpaper, paint, decorative plaster, tile adhesive, etc.
2. Floor insulation using the “underfloor heating” system”
Standard underfloor heating installation methods require an insulator between the floor slab and the system's heating elements, which significantly increases the layer's thickness. Now you don't have to use standard insulators that lose strength over time and shrink. Bronya Light can provide better thermal insulation than any other material and significantly reduce the thickness of the “underfloor heating” system.
Bronya Light creates a thermal barrier that prevents frost from penetrating from the outside and reflects heat from the heating system.
3. Roof Insulation
Bronya Light allows for roof insulation with materials that do not add weight to the structure, while simultaneously creating a thermal barrier from the external environment. Therefore, there is no heat loss, formation of internal ice, condensation, or icicles during the cold period, and heating in the warm period is significantly reduced.
Packaging and Modifications
Available in 5, 10, and 20-liter packs.
There is also Non-flammable modification!
The 20L plastic bucket of Bronya Light thermal insulation coating weighs only 9.5 kg. During proper transport and storage, the microstructure of Bronya liquid thermal insulation remains unchanged.
Instructions for use
Before applying Bronya Light filler, it is necessary to prepare the surface for better adhesion and minimal filler consumption.
Concrete surfaces
Clean the surface of loose parts, dust, and dirt. Seal any cracks with a mixture of cement and sand. Coat the surface with one of the acrylics Bronya first u 1-2 layers to ensure better sealant penetration.
Brick surfaces
To ensure adhesion, surfaces should be cleaned of salt deposits resulting from carbonation and old paint, and then treated with a disinfectant (biocide). Apply one of the Bronya acrylic primers in 1-2 coats to ensure better penetration of the putty.
Plaster
The surface must be dry, solid, and cleaned of dust, dirt, grease, and bitumen stains. Loose parts and old paint residue must be removed. Apply one coat of Bronya acrylic primer in 1-2 layers to ensure better penetration of the filler.
Metal Surfaces
Metal surfaces should first be cleaned of rust. Clean the rust thoroughly and then coat with a metal primer or apply 1-2 coats. Bronya Anticorrosive.
Prepare the kit as follows:
Check that the bucket was properly sealed and that the security seals are intact.
Attention! Keep the kit in a closed container.
Mix the contents with a mixer at high speed for at least 15 minutes, controlling the time.
Important: High-speed stirring is permitted and recommended ONLY for Bronya Light.
Bronya Classic, Bronya Facade, and Bronya Anticor must not be mixed at high speed!
The material will appear to be a homogeneous mass after a few minutes of mixing, but do not rely on visual cues. Mix the material exactly according to the instructions – for 15 minutes!
Manual mixing, even for extended periods, cannot ensure the uniform consistency required to meet the described characteristics. If necessary to achieve the desired material consistency, add distilled water, but no more than 5%. If you want to eliminate condensation, freezing, and/or mold on the surface, add a minimal amount of distilled water to the material.
For large areas, it is recommended to use a plastering machine or an airless painting compressor (e.g., Graco RTX 1500, etc.). Bronya Light thermal insulation putty can be applied to surfaces at temperatures from 7°C to +60°C. The surface must be dry and free of condensation because the material is diluted with water. The time required for a layer up to 3 mm thick to dry is 24 hours at a temperature above +7°C. A new layer should only be applied after the previous one has completely dried. Do not apply a layer thicker than recommended, as cracks may occur. The thickness of the dry layer can be determined from the application layer thickness, which is 10% greater when wet. The material consumption is affected by the type of surface and the application method.
Individualprotection
Under normal conditions, the product is not hazardous to health. If used in a well-ventilated area or outdoors, a protective mask is not necessary. In an enclosed space, standard protective masks should be used. Use safety glasses, gloves, and protective clothing coverings. In case the coating gets into the eyes, rinse them with running water.
Critical situations
If the coating gets into your eyes – rinse them with running water for about fifteen minutes. If you still feel irritation – consult your doctor. If the coating gets on your skin – wash with soap and water. Protective clothing can also be washed normally. In the open air, the product in liquid form is non-flammable. Surfaces coated with Bronya materials can be extinguished with water, foam, dry chemicals, or carbon dioxide in the event of a fire. If the product is spilled, use any absorbent material, such as sand or earth, or flush with plenty of water.
Store the Bronja Light kit in tightly sealed containers at a temperature of +5°C to +30°C, with humidity up to 80%, and protected from direct sunlight. Transportation is possible by any means at temperatures above +5°C and protected from direct sunlight. Carefully pack the containers for transport as damage can compromise the material's quality. After opening the original packaging, use the kit within 7 days. Failure to adhere to these rules may lead to material damage and loss of thermal insulation properties, in which case the manufacturer and distributor cannot be held responsible for any malfunctions.
Interesting facts
Today, the market offers a wide range of materials that help solve thermal insulation problems. One of them is aerogel, or so-called ‘nanogel’. It is a thermal insulation component with a very low thermal conductivity index that tends towards zero due to significantly reduced convection. The main properties of aerogel are: low weight, resistance to temperature fluctuations, high-temperature stability, high strength, as well as very low thermal conductivity.
This might be the best thermal insulation material: lightweight, relatively quick to install, resistant to rust and moisture, insoluble, and definitely reliable. Aerogel can drastically reduce heat loss in buildings and structures, or conversely, reduce air conditioning and freezer plant operating costs.
This presents a major challenge in developing thermal insulation materials that, while retaining the positive properties of aerogels, would also be practical and easy to use in real-world applications and meet all regulatory requirements for thermal insulation materials. This is a good reason why aerogel has not been popular until recently.
It's interesting that aerogel hasn't been used for its intended purpose for some time. Until recently, aerogel-based thermal insulation materials were so expensive that they couldn't compete with materials like polyurethane foam, mineral wool, and others. They were also quite bulky and inconvenient to use.
The progress of the chemical industry in recent decades has been enormous, enabling the production of aerogels, especially when this nanogel is produced in powder form. As a result, building material manufacturers can now afford to use aerogels as an ingredient in the form of so-called ‘nanogel powder’.
The uniqueness of Bronya Light thermal insulation coating lies in retaining all the positive properties of nanogel, while simultaneously expanding and supplementing its range of application and functional capabilities.
