TECHNICAL MANUAL

BETROX ADVANTAGES BETROX is a coloured, extremely lightweight micro-concrete panel that can be easily adapted to a large Specifically developed by EDFAN as a decorative coating, the BETROX panel allows obtaining products such as bath and kitchen counters/countertops or sinks/washbasins, the fabrication of furniture in general, decorative panels for ceilings and facades, or developing of specific works, thus adapting to the aesthetic and technical requirements of each project. Its superficial streaks translate into a unique and unrepeatable product, of supreme quality and highly aesthetic It can...

FINISH AND Y PROTECTIONS board The surface streaks make each part unique and unrepeatable. The BETROX panel is delivered without sealing. Once the part has been manipulated, it is necessary to seal it with special products in order to make the surface waterproof (refer to Mechanization). Edges are straight and without polish. BETROX is available in a broad colour palette.There are 12 basic colours. It allows the combination of colours, textures, embedding of decorative elements, patterns and the combination of BETROX with other materials, such as metal, wood, stone or glass.

FURNITURE: It may be used in public or private spaces, indoors or outdoors. DECORATIVE PANELS: Different possible mounting possibilities enable the vertical or horizontal installation of the panels, thus ensuring a quick and dry work. When you use BETROX panels for decorative purposes, it is recommended to leave a separation grout of 3 MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Property Unit Value Bending (bending strength) MPa 5-8 Tensile strength (bending strength) MPa 2 - 5 Thermal strength Thermal expansion coefficient 20 x IO-6/°C. Excellent freeze-thaw and de-icing resistance. Adsorption Low water permeability...

BETROX MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING In order to keep BETROX surfaces in good conditions, we suggest following these recommendations: • Use a wet cloth to keep the surface clean. • Common detergents or cream cleaners FREE from chlorine or abrasives may also be used. ■ In case of fluid spills, we recommend to dry immediately with a soft and clean cloth. • Do not place extremely hot objects on the surface. Instead, use some kind of heat resistant coaster or table mats to protect the surface. • Do NOT cut or chop directly over the surface. • Avoid the contact with strong chemical products, such as acids,...

The BETROX panel weighs 27 kg per square meter, approximately. Total weight of the panel measuring 1400 x 2700 x 13 mm is 108.5 kg, approximately. The correct storage of BETROX panels is necessary in order to avoid possible damage of the edges or borders due to contact with water or moisture. BETROX panels must be stacked horizontal and flat on easels.There are different types and sizes of easels for storage.All of them must always observe the stacking side slip, which must vary between 4 and 6 ° (see Figure 2). Storage elements (easels) placed on unlevelled floors, lose materials, broken glasses,...

For the dry-cut process of BETROX panels, equipment with dust removal facilities must be used; if this is not possible, the use of eye, nose and ear protection elements is recommended. The use of woodworking machines or shear lines suitable for large panels is highly recommended.To perform cuts in the shop you must use a handheld machine for small parts (grinding machine). For the fabrication of borders, the pieces that make them up must be cut at 45°, thus remaining mitred (see Both pieces must be attached together with BTX ADHESIVE. Borders or visible unions can be made at 90°. For cuts with...

Pieces are stuck with BTX ADHESIVE. Before preparing the adhesive, it will be necessary to leave the surface to stick ready for the process. To join pieces with 45° cuts, it is recommended to first put an adhesive ribbon tape on both parts to avoid the excess of adhesive staining the visible side of the panel (see Figure 5 and 6). The BTX ADHESIVE is a product made up of three elements: BTX ADHESIVE (paste) + BTX moisture corrector (paste) + Catalyst (liquid). I. Add the moisture corrector to the adhesive.The amount of the moisture corrector to add shall be 4% of the amount of adhesive to use....

TREATMENT OF JOINTS WITH GROUT The more tidy and careful is the cut, the cleaner the joints of pieces will be.These will always be visible and joined with BTX GROUT of the same colour of the panel. Before using the BTX GROUT all adhesive tapes and the adhesive left over must be removed with a flap disc BTX grout is a product of two components: BTX grout (powder) + BTX liquid (liquid). The amount of BTX GROUT used is 45 grs / ml, approximately. I. In a container, put the grout and the liquid in a proportion of 4 parts of grout and I part of liquid. Mix it smoothly to form a homogeneous mixture....

I. Sand the surface only superficially so that this acts as a mordant for the coat of sealant applied next to it. Use sandpaper over 280 gr. 2. Remove dust with a vacuum cleaner. I. Check that the surface to seal is dust-free. 2.Apply the first layer of PU BTX SEALANT undiluted.This procedure must be done with a blowtorch, applying a smooth layer on the entire surface and on both directions (from top to bottom and from left to right). PU BTX SEALANT consumption is 0.17 Its / m2 approximately. DRILLING / BORING The BETROX panel may be drilled easily with the suitable tools. For the specific drilling...
