Polymer plaster to create excellent decorative coating

Properties and scope

Modification plaster formulations need to improve the physical and mechanical properties and better adhesion to the base layer of plaster.Plus, they are great for decorative finishes, as they have many varieties of texture and color.Among the main features are as follows:

• Parapronitsaemost.
• Frost.
• hydrophobicity.
• water resistance.
• Shock.
• plasticity.
• Sustainability.

Polymer plaster forms a thin decorative coating, and is used both for internal and external works.Suitable for concrete, gypsum, cement-sand grounds.Often used in the decoration of the cap and facades, as well as for the interior walls of homes, office buildings, public buildings.

Preparing the surface for the application of polymer and polymer-plaster

before will be applied polymer Polymer or plaster, it is necessary to prepare the surface.The walls should be smooth, without holes, cracks and hillocks.Also on the basis should not be fat stains, dirt or dust.Any fragile portions are removed, cracks and cavities are primed.

primer type that is most suitable for plaster is often indicated on the manufacturer's packaging.There is indicated the approximate consumption.Great violation is the use of a primer, which is not recommended or not suitable in chemical composition to the plaster coating.As a result, subject to serious errors in the preparation of the surface and not achieved the desired result.

True Sometimes it happens that some manufacturers of polymer plaster formulations do not indicate the type of primer and use them for their finishing coatings.Typically, such plasters are of high quality, since they have a large number of polymer additives compensating absence of primer.

further diluted in water, polymer decorative plaster.Typically, 1 kg of the mixture was added 200-220 ml of water.Carefully stir.Then the solution was incubated for 5-15 minutes (depending on the manufacturer) and re-mixed until a pasty mass, which shall be free of lumps.

How to apply a decorative plaster polymer?

Often the question arises - how to apply a decorative plaster? whether the process is characterized by the application of classical plaster?

application of decorative plaster made with a spatula or trowel.The thickness of the applied layer is equal to the thickness of the grains making up the plaster.The maximum size in this case may be 1.5-2.5 mm (since the maximum thickness of the grains).When leveling composition trowel must be kept at an angle of 40-50 degrees to the surface.Further, during the course of 5-15 minutes via a metal or plastic grating impart a specific decorative layer (grainy) texture.

process is carried out at a certain temperature and air humidity appropriate level.The air temperature must be between + 10 ° to + 25 ° C, between + 5 ° to + 30 ° C.The works on the same basis shall be continuous from one corner to the other.If, however, it is important to take a break, something along the lines of the last works of applied masking tape and cover it with plaster, thereby giving the texture.Once the tape is removed along with the remnants of the plaster composition.Applying the solution should be protected from drafts, direct sunlight and rain for 24 hours.
