READY MIX PLASTER
BMK BRICKSTECH Ready Mix Plaster is a premixed cement-based solution to substitute for the traditional site mix wall plaster process. The solution consists of processed sand which is graded and distributed as per particle size and proportionately mixed,cement, and water soluble polymers which act as additives. The application method requires mixing of water before application and the mix is ready for plastering. BMK BRICKSTECH Ready Mix Plaster can be used for both external and internal plastering.
BMK BRICKSTECH READY MIX PLASTER can be applied on
- AAC Block Walls
- Fly Ash Block Walls
- Clay Brick Walls
- Stone Walls
- Concrete Block Walls
- Concrete Surfaces
PLASTER COATS
- Internal
8-10 mm single coat is recommended for internal plaster covering. - External
Two coats are recommended to cover the external side of walls i.e. Base coat of 8-12 mm and Finish coat of 8-12 mm to get a total thickness of around 18-20 mm, further depending upon site conditions. After Base coat, minimum 2 to 3 days curing must be done before application of Finish coat.
