Plastering Bond is a single component polymer-based bonding agent for cementitious materials. It is water-based, specially formulated to enhance bonding properties and improve the mechanical strengths of plaster mixes when incorporated with mixing water. Plastering Bond reduces shrinkage cracks during the early stages of cement hardening by minimizing surface water loss in freshly applied mixes. Plastering Bond is ideal for use with Render and Plaster mixes. Plastering Bond is supplied as ready to use on-site without any dilution for desired applications.
The surface must be well cleaned and free from loose materials. Eliminate inconsistent parts, varnishes, grease, laitance, algae through sandblasting or brushing before applying Plastering Bond.
It is recommended to mix the material in the same container before use.
Follow the Plastering Bond addition rates specified by consultant or contractors required for each type of premixed mortar.
Plastering Bond can be used as a total or partial replacement of gauging water required for plaster & render mixes.
Add the Plastering Bond to pre-blended sand/cement-based plaster, render, mortar, or other dry mixes. Mix for 3-4 min using a mechanical mixer at low speed.
Allow the mixed material to stand for about 10 minutes, then remix briefly without adding further water.
Use neat Plastering Bond without dilution. Apply Plastering Bond using a brush or spray directly onto the substrate. If using a hand pump, spray at a rate of 4-6 m2/liter.
While bonding agent is wet to tacky, follow immediately by applying plaster, screed, render, mortars, etc.
Note: Vetonit Plastering Bond should remain tacky when applying topcoat finishes.
Clean tools with water before it hardens. Clean hardened residuals mechanically only.
