BuildCrete™ Plaster is an ultra-high-performance finish for architectural and industrial applications. This abuse-resistant interior veneer plaster is designed for buildings that require extreme abrasion resistance.
BuildCrete Plaster is a single product application that provides the ultimate in resistance to abrasion and indent far exceeding abuse type drywall. This product is formulated for industrial strengths exceeding 8,500 psi and provides an attractive, smooth or textured finish over a variety of substrates, such as gypsum board, cement board, CMU block, mag-board, fiber board, monolithic concrete and unit masonry. Typical application thicknesses is 3/16″depending on the needs abuse resistance. For more information visit http://buildblock.com/products/buildcrete-stucco-plaster/
The BuildCrete Plaster mix contains all needed ingredients so no sand is added at the jobsite to minimize the risk of mixing errors. Produced using envirnmentaly-friendly manufacturing techniques, BuildCrete™ Plaster is easy to mix and apply using conventional plaster tools and techniques. It is applied in a scratch and double-back one-coat application along with a 4.5 oz or 11 ounce or heavier fiberglass mesh depending on the abuse resistance needed. For texture finishes, complete texturing after the plaster has firmed up and before the final set. Polyurethane roller texture finishes can also be used and rapidly finished. One thin coat is applied directly over the EPS foam, a fiberglass mesh is embedded and then covered over with the same material giving about 3/16″ finished thickness.
BuildCrete Plaster was specifically developed for the toughest industrial applications, but it is also an ideal finish for walls in homes, schools, universities, restaurants, medical facilities, hotels, commercial offices, government/military buildings, correctional facilities, multi-family housing, and other high-traffic, high-abuse applications. The strength and abrasion and abuse-resistance features also provide the means for reduced long-term maintenance costs. Architects and designers can also take advantage of the wide range of decorative options of this product. Besides many types of smooth and textured finishes, BuildCrete™ Plaster can be easily painted or stained. It is designed to be environmentally responsible and emits zero pollutants, and uses less water than similar products currently on the market.
All BuildCrete Plaster products exceed USEPA and California indoor air quality and VOC standards and conserve water compared to other similar products. Abuse-resistant features such as resistance to cracking, indentation and abrasion, coupled with ease of installation, fire protection, design options, and resistance to mold and gives BuildCrete™ Plaster unparalleled versatility inside any structure.
A Level III (highest) abuse resistance is achieved by applying a 3/16″ thickness and it replaces fragile 1/2″or 5/8″ gypsum board over ICF walls and ceilings. BuildCrete™ Plaster™ is tested and code approved for ICF’s to ASTM E-136, ASTM E-84 and NFPA-286 code compliance by Intertek.
Each 75 lb. (34 kg) of BuildCrete Plaster covers approximately 42 sq. ft. (4.2 m2) at an approximate thickness of 3/16 in (4.8 mm).
