ESTonetex Park

Applications

•  Theming and imitation of landscapes, figures, rocks, tree trunks and reliefs, by moulding and subsequent stamping

•  Artificial rock, stone, figures, facades and walls, compatible with moulds and hand carving

•  Theming of large surfaces, indoors and outdoors, in theme parks, tourist resorts, zoos and leisure spaces

•  Ornamental elements on facades: plinths, skirting, ashlar blocks, etc.

Technical specifications

Data verified in the official technical data sheet. Full technical documentation and certificates are available on request through the contact form.

Supports

Ceramic brick, cement block and renders in good condition. Substrates must be sound, strong and free of dust, dirt, salt efflorescence, oil, grease or any substance that could hinder adhesion. It is advisable to dampen the surfaces beforehand, especially in hot or windy weather. For substrates that are difficult to bond to, consult the Surface Guide; ESTonetex Forte can be used as a primer.

How is ESTonetex Park mixed?

Mix with clean water (20-22 % of the weight of the mortar, about 5 to 5.5 litres per 25 kg bag) using a concrete mixer, by hand or with an electric mixer, until a homogeneous, lump-free, workable paste is obtained. If the application is mechanical (recommended), once the hose section and length have been chosen, the optimal water/ESTonetex Park ratio is adjusted by trial and error.

How is it applied?

It is applied in a single layer with a minimum thickness of 10 mm and a maximum of 50 mm. For thicknesses above 50 mm, apply the product in several layers and reinforce with an alkali-resistant mesh between them (EST-Mesh 80 g/m²). When the mortar is partially hardened, the desired finish is given with theming tools (moulds, spatulas...). You can watch the application tutorial.

Observations and precautions

Protect fresh mortar from frost and rapid setting: apply between 5 °C and 35 °C. Strong winds can cause cracking, so protective measures must be taken. If the mortar is coloured, use material from the same manufacturing date throughout the project. Contains cement: wear gloves, goggles and a mask. Professional product: always consult the safety data sheet.

Pigmentation

Once dry, it can be pigmented with EST-26 Multilite, EST-Monocrom or EST-Multipol, and protected with the EST-3 Plus mineral water repellent.

Complementary materials

•  EST-Mesh 80 g/m²: reinforcement between layers for thicknesses above 50 mm

•  ESTonetex Forte: primer for substrates that are difficult to bond to

•  EST-26 Multilite / EST-Monocrom / EST-Multipol: pigmentation of the finish once dry

•  EST-3 Plus: mineral water repellent to protect the finish

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ESTonetex Park and ESTonetex TXT?
Both are cement-based theming mortars supplied in sandstone, white and grey. Park is designed for large surfaces, with high productivity on site and thixotropy for continuous modelling: it is applied in layers of 10 to 50 mm, with 20-22 % mixing water (the catalogue gives a thickness of 1 to 6 cm). ESTonetex TXT is the thixotropic mortar for carving and modelling large volumes, from 1 to 20 cm in several layers, with layers of up to 70 mm and 25-27 % mixing water according to its technical data sheet.

Can ESTonetex Park be used in pools, waterfalls or in contact with water?
For surfaces in contact with salt or chlorinated water (pools, waterfalls, showers) there is ESTonetex Sulfo, which is sulphate-resistant and is applied in layers of 20 to 60 mm. For continuous contact or immersion in chlorinated or salt water and harsh climates, ESTonetex Extreme.

What is the difference between ESTonetex Park and ESTonetex Forte?
ESTonetex Forte is a thin-layer decorative mortar (2 to 15 mm), white, for EPS/XPS, concrete and plasterboard, which also works as a primer for Park. Park is a thicker mortar (10 to 50 mm per layer) for modelling and stamping rock, stone and reliefs on large surfaces.

How much ESTonetex Park mortar is needed per m²?
Approximately 14 kg/m² at 10 mm thickness, according to the technical data sheet (under controlled conditions of 20 °C and 60 % relative humidity). A 25 kg bag therefore covers about 1.8 m² at 10 mm, and a pallet of 48 bags (1,200 kg) about 85 m² at that thickness. Consumption increases in proportion to the thickness applied.

How much water does ESTonetex Park mortar need?
Between 20 % and 22 % of its weight, that is, about 5 to 5.5 litres per 25 kg bag, until a homogeneous, lump-free, workable paste is obtained. For mechanical application, the exact ratio is adjusted by trial and error depending on the hose section and length.

What thickness does ESTonetex Park allow and when are several layers needed?
It is applied in a single layer of 10 to 50 mm. For thicknesses above 50 mm it is applied in several layers, reinforcing with an alkali-resistant mesh between them.

Can ESTonetex Park be applied by machine?
Yes. Mechanical application is recommended for large surfaces, although it can also be applied by hand. Then, with the mortar partially hardened, it is moulded and stamped with theming tools.

What temperature can ESTonetex Park be applied at?
Between 5 °C and 35 °C. Fresh mortar must be protected from frost and rapid setting, and strong winds can cause cracking.

Is ESTonetex Park mortar fire resistant and CE marked?
Its reaction to fire is Euroclass A1, the highest class. It is classified as a GP CSIV W2 plastering mortar according to EN 998-1 and is CE marked.

What colours is it supplied in and how is it pigmented?
In sandstone, white and grey, and in other colours on request. Once dry it can be pigmented with EST-26 Multilite, EST-Monocrom or EST-Multipol and protected with EST-3 Plus.

How long can ESTonetex Park mortar be stored?
Up to 24 months from its manufacturing date, provided it is kept in its original packaging, under cover and in a dry place.
