Trowel UN PACA Styrofoam Hard Handle Plastic 320×170 mm

UN PACA styrofoam trowel with a hard plastic handle, size 320×170 mm, is a hand tool designed for working with expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation boards. The flat styrofoam blade and rigid plastic handle provide controlled pressure when spreading adhesive, pressing insulation into place and applying render on facades. The tool's dimensions suit medium- to large-format insulation panels and allow even distribution of bonding mortar and smoothing of surfaces during installation and finishing.

Advantages

The hard plastic handle ensures a firm, non-flexing grip that improves accuracy when pressing and levelling polystyrene boards. The styrofoam blade is lightweight, reducing user fatigue during repeated use while enabling consistent contact area with adhesive and render. The tool's size offers a balance between coverage area and manoeuvrability, making it suitable for both installation and finishing stages without excessive weight.

Suitable for

• Applying adhesive to polystyrene insulation boards
• Pressing and aligning EPS boards on façades
• Spreading and smoothing render or basecoat over insulation
• General insulation installation and façade finishing tasks

Key specifications

• Blade material: expanded polystyrene (styrofoam)
• Handle type: hard plastic, rigid grip
• Overall size: 320 × 170 mm
• Weight: lightweight construction for reduced fatigue

How to use

Apply adhesive to the insulation board or substrate as recommended by the adhesive manufacturer, then use the styrofoam trowel to spread the adhesive evenly across the board surface or to press the board firmly against the wall. When applying render or basecoat over insulation, use the flat face of the styrofoam blade to smooth and level the material, working in consistent passes to achieve uniform coverage. Maintain a steady pressure with the hard plastic handle to control contact and avoid excessive compression of the insulation board.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use the trowel with adhesives and renders formulated for polystyrene insulation. Clean the tool after each use to prevent material buildup on the styrofoam blade. Store away from heat sources and solvents that may deform the polystyrene. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working on façades and handling adhesives.
