According to experts, putty Vetonit is considered one of the best building materials in its class. It is actively used by both professional builders involved in the construction of new modern facilities, and apartment owners who for the first time decide to carry out repairs on their own. In all cases, this inexpensive and easy-to-use finishing mix allows you to get a consistently high quality plaster on almost any surface.

Features of the compositions and technical characteristics of Vetonit

The mixture for finishing plaster Vetonit consists of two basic components: the filler itself (cement, limestone, gypsum, crushed marble) and a binding polymer substance with adhesive adhesive properties. Such components allow the use of this finishing material in rooms with a high level of humidity.

The Weber manufacturing company offers several options Vetonit, differing in composition, purpose and characteristics

• Vetonite LR- Universal putty, and therefore the most popular. Created on the basis of polymers, used for leveling brick, concrete, foam concrete, plasterboard surfaces. After preparing the mixture, the smallest marble chips bound by polymer form a plastic viscous mass that perfectly adheres to any surface even at medium humidity. There is a modification of such a white putty, specially designed for painting.
• Vetonite KR- ideal for finishing dry rooms and rooms for wallpapering, based on organic glue that fastens gypsum-cement components
• Vetonite JS- allows you to effectively close technological seams and emergency cracks, high strength is provided by the addition of microfiber and polymer glue
• Vetonite VH- should be used when operating construction sites in conditions of high humidity

Technology of work with putty Vetonit

When in contact with water, the binding elements reliably connect the smallest particles of dry plaster components, the size of which does not exceed 0.5 mm. It turns out a mixture that does not have lumps and has excellent adhesion to most building materials:

• brickwork
• concrete, foam concrete or cinder block
• drywall
• wood, plywood

A prerequisite for high-quality plastering is the cleanliness and dryness of the treated surface, as well as the absence of dirt and grease stains on it. The plaster is applied at a temperature not lower than +10 degrees manually or with a pneumatic sprayer.

Vetonit is a finishing material. Therefore, the thickness of the layer is about a millimeter. Putty with this use diverges in the amount of 1.2 kilograms per 1 m2. The drying time of the layer depends on the ventilation of the room, the air temperature. For 25 kilograms of dry mix, approximately 10 and a half liters of water will be required. The mixture retains plasticity for a day after mixing.

The final viscosity of the composition is determined by the method of its application. To do this, use a traditional hand tool or a special pneumatic sprayer. In both cases, it is easy to achieve a layer of the same thickness, evenly covering the surface. An additional advantage Vetonit is its plasticity, which persists for some time. This allows you to calmly touch up difficult areas, as well as apply a decorative texture or artistic elements to the plaster.

The finished mixture will remain usable throughout the day, which allows you to plan and complete finishing work without haste. Approximately the same amount of time it will take the applied thin layer to dry at room temperature. The finished surface can be made smoother, or vice versa, roughened by further processing with sandpaper of the required grit.

Advantages of Vetonit material

putty Vetonit It has many advantages that make it in demand in the building materials market:

• environmentally friendly composition of natural and organic ingredients
• convenient packaging and ease of preparation of the mixture
• high plasticity and adhesion allow applying the composition on any surface of complex configuration
• a dense and durable layer of plaster not only levels the surface, but also provides additional noise and heat insulation with excellent vapor permeability
• economical consumption
• long service life

Putty Vetonit LR + is made on the basis of polymer adhesive for finishing ceilings and walls in rooms with a low degree of humidity.

Application area

Putty VETONIT LR+ is intended for finishing leveling of walls, ceilings and other non-deformable substrates before applying paintwork or wallpaper to the substrate.

The putty is applied on cement, gypsum, cement-lime bases, gypsum boards, gypsum boards, etc.

Properties

The layer thickness is 1-5 mm. Finishing putty VETONIT LR PLUS forms a white surface for subsequent painting or wallpapering, used inside dry rooms. Application to the surface can be done both manually and mechanically. Resistant to moisture for a short time.

Material consumption

The amount of consumable is 1.2 kg/m² with a layer thickness of 1 mm.

Foundation preparation

The base must be dry, solid, free from grease stains and other materials that can reduce adhesion to the base. Substrate temperature during operation +5°C to +30°C

Solution preparation

To prepare the solution, it is necessary to pour water at room temperature into a clean plastic container (recommended) in the amount of 9 liters per 25 kg of Vetonit LR + dry mix. The mixture is added to the water, and not vice versa! The components are mixed to a homogeneous mass with a construction mixer or a drill with a nozzle at low speed. The prepared solution should be used up within 24 hours after mixing.

Execution of work

The finished solution is applied to the previously prepared surface mechanized or manually. The putty mortar is applied to the base and leveled with a two-handed steel spatula. When processing small areas, a metal spatula 30 cm wide can be used. If it is necessary to apply the material in two layers, you should wait for the previous one to dry completely. After application and drying, the surface is treated with sandpaper and dust-free. And after all the work done and complete drying, the surface is ready for the subsequent application of decorative materials: painting, wallpapering, etc. , and can also be made in the form of a "fur coat" after a mechanized spraying method.

Drying time

The putty mixture dries within 2 days at a temperature of +10°C and at a thickness recommended by the manufacturer. Drying time directly depends on the thickness of the applied layer, the temperature in the room, as well as on ventilation.

Finishing putty on a polymer binder for walls and ceilings inside dry rooms.

Areas of use

Walls and ceilings inside dry rooms. Suitable substrates: all smooth surfaces made of mineral materials; surfaces leveled with putty Vetonit L, V, TT, TT Light or Perlite putty; plaster surfaces; plasterboard walls and ceilings (but not for grouting plasterboard boards). It is also possible to spray ceilings made of other boards, such as particle boards or porous fibreboards.

Attention! The mixture is not waterproof. The material is not suitable for leveling floors, for grouting drywall boards, or for use as a base or adhesive mortar under tiles.

Specifications:

The substrate must be clean, solid and dust-free. Substances that weaken adhesion such as grease, dust, etc. must be removed. Windows and other untreated surfaces must be carefully protected.

Attention! The base must be dry, no leaks and excessive moisture content in the structure is allowed, as this may cause discoloration of the leveled surface.

Mixing

A bag of dry mix (25 kg) is mixed with 8–9 liters of clean water. Mixing is carried out with a powerful drill with a nozzle for 3–5 minutes. For better dissolution of the binder, the mixture is allowed to stand for about 10 minutes. After slight re-mixing, the mixture is ready for use. The mortar mixture is suitable for use within about 2 days from the moment of mixing with water. Unused mortar mixture must not be left in mixing containers, hoses, etc. equipment for more than 2 days (eg weekends).

Attention! Do not pour the mortar mixture into the sewer, so as not to clog the pipes.

Completing of the work

The mortar mixture is applied mechanically by spraying or manually using a steel spatula. For full leveling use a steel trowel 80 cm wide, for partial leveling a smaller steel trowel 30 cm wide. Excess mortar mixture is removed and reused. The ceiling after spraying putty can be left without further processing. If leveling is performed in several layers, it is necessary each time to make sure that the previous layer is completely dry (within 1 day). The dried surface is sanded with fine sanding paper after each layer.

Tool cleaning

The working tools and equipment are washed with water immediately after work is completed.

Surface Finishing and Additional Recommendations

The leveled and dried surface can be painted or wallpapered according to the wallpaper or paint manufacturer's instructions.

If dirty spots appear, the surface can be carefully wiped with a damp sponge or piece of cloth. If the stains do not go away, the surface can be re-covered with putty.

Helpful Hints

To improve adhesion to painted surfaces and to improve the wear resistance of the material, 10% mixing water can be replaced with Vetonit Dispersion (approx. 0.8–0.9 l of dispersion/25 kg of dry mix). Before starting the leveling work, it is necessary to make sure that the adhesion of the old paint to the substrate is good.

Packaging and storage

Putty Vetonit LR Plus is supplied in 25 and 5 kg bags. Shelf life in a dry place in closed packages is approx. 12 months from date of manufacture.

Hello dear visitors! This time we will get acquainted with a whole phenomenon in the world of finishing materials. The hero of the day today will be putty, whose name for craftsmen has long been a household name - putty Vetonit (weber.vetonit LR+).

Now in building stores there are dozens, if not hundreds of types of various putties: gypsum, cement, polymer. But two brands stand apart, they are available always and everywhere, and have been producing them for more than a dozen years. Yes, yes, the first one is Vetonit. And what is the second one? If you are a decorator, then you probably know the answer.

This is sheetrock. There will also be a separate article about him. This item is very, very high quality. In order not to miss the material about, subscribe to updates, the post will be very useful for everyone!

But for now, we are talking about the weber.vetonit LR+ product.

That is what they mean when they say "vetonit". This is a finishing putty on a polymer binder. What does "finish" mean? And the fact that after its application, wallpaper and / or painting, that is, finishing coatings, already go directly.

In other words, such a mixture forms a high-quality coating, ready for painting and wallpapering. As for the binder. Any building mixture consists of a filler and a binder. The aggregate is usually sand, limestone is what forms the bulk of the composition. And the binder holds the aggregate particles together and, of course, provides adhesion to the base surface. In this putty, the binder is a kind of polymer glue, and limestone serves as a filler.

Our hero is produced by Weber-Vetonit, part of the Saint-Gobain group. Packed in paper bags of 25 and 5 kg.

Basic properties

The purpose of this putty mixture is to level walls and ceilings in dry rooms before wallpapering and painting. It is used on all types of smooth surfaces made of mineral materials and drywall. Formally, it has a white (in practice, slightly grayish) color, as well as its own weak specific smell.

By the way, it costs in our village (Ryazan is called, you may have heard) in the region of 650-700 rubles for 25 kg.

It should be remembered that it is not moisture resistant, not suitable as a base for laying tiles and as an adhesive for anything. For example, some people manage to glue ceiling plinths on it. This cannot be done. Its structure is rather loose and fragile, which, however, does not affect its ability to hold wallpaper on itself, but can play a fatal role when trying, for example, to seal the joints of the Civil Code sheets with it.

Water consumption is 9 liters per 25 kg bag. The mixture is stirred with a drill or puncher with a mixer to the state of sour cream, after which it is allowed to infuse for 10 minutes. This time is needed for better dissolution of the binder. It is noticed that after these 10 minutes the mixture thickens a little. Then it is re-mixed.

Again, a separate article will be published about the technique of puttying walls and ceilings, the topic is very important, so subscribing to updates is a sacred thing!)) The article will contain a couple of my know-how, and I will just use Vetonit. And now it's time to find out what are the secrets of his popularity?

The main advantages of weber.vetonit LR+

I counted three of them:

1. Ease of application with almost complete absence of layer differences. If desired and with due skill, you can putty the surface under the wallpaper so that grinding is not required at all.
2. If necessary, the putty is very easy to grind due to its somewhat looseness. And this is very important. For example, gypsum (universal putty from Knauf) is polished just like a star, how hard. When I first tried Vetonit after him, I was amazed - no effort.
3. Surprisingly long lifespan. If you have mixed too much putty and do not have time to work it all out, just cover the container with it with a lid. The next day, she will be waiting for you in the same condition in which you left her. It has been verified that for 2-3 days she calmly waits in the wings in a bucket, ready to go. You just need to stir it again.

Of course, the hero of the article also has a drawback. It's the lack of moisture resistance.

Let's say we are wallpapering. They glued the strip, when they suddenly noticed a jam or a bubble that just couldn’t be smoothed out. Needs to be removed and re-glued. So, there is some probability that the strip will be partially removed along with the putty. To be honest, this has never happened to me yet, because I carefully prime the surface before and after puttying, plus I apply it in a certain way so that it lies more densely. But such cases are known. But I don't know of any other disadvantages.

Unless I can recommend using it for painting. Still, his fraction is too big for this, and visually the surface turns out to be rougher than when using Sheetrock. But after all, I am a sophisticated user, for you, such a surface is likely to be more than acceptable. Once I had to paint the ceiling on the loggia according to Vetonit (there was no choice), I carefully sanded it and covered it with two layers of white paint. From the floor, I did not see even the slightest defects. Here is the ceiling:

Finishing putty (putty) Vetonit LR (Vetonit LR Plus) on a polymer binder for finishing ceilings and walls in rooms, forms a layer 1-5 mm thick in white. Used for finishing puttying for wallpapering and painting. Can be applied manually or by machine.

Putty Vetonit LR+ it is applied on smooth surfaces made of mineral substances, surfaces leveled with a primer or putty, gypsum bases, walls and ceilings made of gypsum boards. Mixture Vetonit LR+ can not be used for leveling floors and used as a base for ceramic tiles. It is also unsuitable for sealing joints in drywall boards and for use on a wide variety of surfaces in wet structures or in damp rooms.

Using putties Vetonit LR Plus strict observance of technology is necessary. When diluting the mixture Vetonit LR+ with water, a plastic homogeneous mass is formed, which is well applied to the base and has a long service life after drying. With a material layer thickness of 1 mm, the mixture consumption is 1.2 kg per 1 sq. m, and the maximum allowable layer thickness is 5 mm (for one application).

Vetonit LR is a finishing putty for high-quality finishing puttying of the following substrates: gypsum, gypsum boards, concrete, substrates that have been treated with wall putties or plaster solutions. After puttying the ceiling with Vetonite LR, no further work can be carried out. When used correctly, finishing putty Vetonite allows you to bring the surfaces processed by it to "zero", to a mirror level. If technologically there is a need to level walls or ceilings in several layers, then before applying the next layer putties Vetonit LR+, it will be necessary to completely dry all previous layers. Each layer must be sanded with a zero-grain sandpaper or other abrasive material.

Finishing putty Vetonit LR+ is not waterproof. Putty is suitable for damp or wet rooms and building facades Vetonite VH. It contains a polymer adhesive.

Vetonit LR is suitable for use within 24 hours after mixing it with water. The applied putty dries within 48 hours at a temperature of +10 C and 24 hours at room temperature. Careful ventilation of the room in which it is used is necessary. putty Vetonit LR +. The duration of the drying period directly depends on the thickness of the applied layer, the presence of ventilation and maintaining the desired temperature in the room.

Tools used when working with putty Vetonit LR must be thoroughly cleaned immediately after each use. The solution that was obtained from the dry mixture can clog the pipes, so you can not pour the remaining material into the sewer. It is necessary to observe the moisture-resistant regime, since excess moisture can give the putty a slightly yellowish tint.
