DESCRIPTION
Echohush® Prole foam panels are supplied in standard sheet sizes of
0.60 m X 0.60 m.
Prole panels are very easy to x on walls and ceilings. They can be bonded to
wall and ceiling surfaces using our high quality adhesive ‘Fixseal MSP15’ in any
one of the following ways.
1. Directly gluing product panels to wall or ceiling surfaces or
2. Using a backing board to hold panels on walls.
The rst method oers a more permanent solution as the foam panels are in
direct contact with the walls using the adhesive. Whereas, using a backing
board provides a solution that prevents the adhesive being transferred on to
walls, thereby oering exibility to remove and reposition the product.
Pyrotek can provide on request, backing boards made from specialised
plastic, designed to receive adhesives, that standard PE or PU plastics may
not. The boards supplied measure:
590 mm (length) x 590 mm (width) x 1.0 mm (thick).
ABOUT OUR RECOMMENDED ADHESIVE
‘Fixseal MSP15’ - The adhesive is available in a cartridge or sausage, with
a special plastic nozzle to provide the required bead size. To install Prole
panels, cut the nozzle to create a 3 - 4 mm bead.
The adhesive cures using moisture present in the air and should be applied in
temperatures +5°C to +35°C.
See Technical Data Sheet ‘Fixseal MSP15-TDS-526IP’ for more details on
material properties and curing times. Alternative adhesives closely matching
the recommended adhesive can also be used to bond Prole panels.
Echohush® Prole is available in a variety
of colours. Please consult your Pyrotek®
representative for colour choice.

TIPS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
1. Wall surfaces should be clean, smooth and dry.
2. Walls that are not plumb may cause misalignment.
3. If adhering to metal surfaces, use a degreaser before mounting panels.
4. Avoid mounting directly on top of electrical outlets or wires or contact with any sharp objects and edges. If needed, cut out
adequate access holes around any outlets. Consider using electric knives for a professional cut.
5. Keep away from ame and heat sources.
6. Keep uncoated panels out of direct sunlight or UV light to avoid fading.
7. If using backing board, remove the plastic lm covering one side of the board and use this side to bond the product with adhesive.
Note: Use our instructions as a general guideline. The responsibility to assess and compensate for application environment lies with the installer.

STEP 1
Fix the backing board to the wall using 10 mm thumb
tacks. Place one thumb tack each in the four corners
and one in the centre.
STEP 2
Apply adhesive as shown in Fig BB2 avoiding contact
with the thumb tacks.
STEP 3
Firmly push the panel onto the backing board, making
sure that even pressure is applied to all areas that the
adhesive has been applied to.
Fig.BB1 Fig.BB2 Fig.BB3
STEP 4
Hold in place for about one minute or as required.
Once adhesive has cured and the foam rmly bonded
to the board, the product can be easily be removed and
repositioned by merely pulling o the backing board
adhered to the wall using thumb tacks.
For ceiling installation, x four extra thumb tacks than
that recommended for walls, like a ’Die’ pattern (No.9).
Follow Steps 1 through to 4. Hold panels in position for
about a minute or as required.
Fig.BB4
Using a backing board to mount the product, oers the exibility to remove and reposition or even remount product to any other wall or ceiling. As the backing board is
adhered using thumb tacks, removing panels leaves only pin marks on the wall, without ruining the either the foam or the surface mounted on.
Installing directly to wall or ceiling surfaces - Echohush Prole panels can also be easily adhered to walls directly without using any backing material. Apply adhesive on
the back of the product panel in the same manner as shown in Fig BB2. Press the adhesive into the panel as you apply. Follow steps 3 and 4.
