This necessitates change in conventional methods as well as usage of light weight materials.
Sand availability issues & water scarcity have become bottlenecks in construction. Hence,
developers across India are looking for alternate materials for construction. At Saint-Gobain
Gyproc India Limited, we understand these needs and are bringing various products addressing
all these issues.

Surface Preparation for RCC Surfaces

The oldest method of surface preparation for RCC is to hack the surface. Hacking makes the surface rough,

ll for

with R

providing mechanical key to the plaster which goes on top of the smooth RCC. But, mechanical key (hacking) cant
be a full proof solution and it also requires lot of time and effort.
Availability of manpower for hacking is a problem. Even after arranging labour, creating this roughness is becoming
an issue day by day. Reasons for the same are:
1. Increasing hardness grades make RCC smoother, which reduces grip for plaster.
2. Fly ash, micro silica usage in RMC reduces porosity of concrete, in turn reducing plaster grip.
3. Cycle time reduction and increased RCC area in case of aluminium shuttering projects make hacking difficult

Gyproc BOND it has a unique single product formulation

that imparts a strong chemical and mechanical bond, thus
eliminating the entire activity of surface preparation &
providing strong bonding between plaster & substrate
surface.

Gypsum plastering as a concept is not new to the world. Thousands of years ago, Pyramids in Giza, Tomb of
Tutenkhamen were internally lined with Gypsum & are still intact. So, gypsum has proved its credibility as a long
lasting, durable internal lining material. That is a reason, gypsum is the most preferred alternative to regular
cement based plasters & putties.

to give that perfectly lined& leveled smooth finish without any worry of shrinkage cracks. BOND it provides
superior dual bonding to avoid hacking on the surface, while usage of gyproc plaster also eliminates water curing
in case of internal plasters while reducing the project completion time considerably.

Project Highlights:
This project has only 3, 4 BHK apartments & duplexes having dense concrete block walls. On these blocks, Gyproc
Elite 90 plaster is being used to benefits in terms of time & water saving, faster construction due to no water curing
requirement.
On ceilings, Gyproc BOND it is being used to create double bonding (mechanical as well as chemical) of plaster with
RCC. Specially for ceilings, Gyproc Elite 90 FS One Coat Plaster is being used to reduce wastage due to its fast
setting characteristics.

Accessories:
We have introduced a range of plastering accessories which will ensure
better quality of finish and higher durability.
Re-usable Level beads
Re-usable level beads are made of aluminium alloy, are 8mm thick &
are light weight making level strips job easy.
Corner beads / Angle beads
Coventionally corners are made manually using gypsum plaster. This
process is slower. Also, corners sometimes tend to break if there is lot
of material movement closer to the corner. So, some developers use
corner beads to protect the edges.
Benefits:
- Faster process than making corner by gypsum
- Durable than gypsum plaster as they are made of galvanized steel
- Provide reference for plasteraking the entire process still faster
