APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Substrate Treatment

· The substrate should be clean and meet the flatness requirements for crack-resistant plaster (within 5mm deviation under a 2-meter straightedge). Remove any loose particles, dust, grease, or other contaminants.

· Concrete shear wall surfaces should be roughened, and plastering should be done after the roughened layer has fully hardened.

· High-absorbent substrates, such as aerated concrete block walls, should be treated with VASA PMC series primers. After the primer has dried, proceed with leveling plaster. The dilution ratio of the PMC series primer should refer to the specific product manual.

· Substrates like ceramsite bricks, concrete hollow blocks, and ordinary clay hollow bricks need to be thoroughly cleaned. Before plastering, the surface should be moistened adequately without visible water on the surface.

· Plastering should be done after the masonry or main structural works have passed inspection. Defects in the substrate and reserved grooves should be repaired in advance.

· For the junction of different substrates, use alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh to reinforce. The width of the mesh should be at least 250mm, with an overlap width of no less than 100mm for each substrate.

Mortar Preparation

· Refer to the certificate for water addition range.

· For manual application: Add water to the mixing bucket first, then slowly add the powder. Mix rapidly with a mechanical mixer until even, let it stand for 3 minutes, and then mix for another 10-15 seconds before use. The prepared mortar must be used within 2 hours. Do not add water to mortar that has begun to harden.

· For machine spraying: Check the equipment, connect the power and water sources, add the powder to the hopper, start the equipment, and open the spray gun. Adjust the water addition according to the mortar consistency until the output consistency is suitable for spraying.

Leveling Application

· Setting screeds: Before plastering, set the screeds on the wall. For walls less than 3.5 meters in height, vertical screeds should be used, with a spacing not exceeding 1.5 meters. For walls higher than 3.5 meters, horizontal screeds should be used, with spacing not exceeding 2 meters.

· Manual plastering: For large surfaces, apply the plaster in multiple layers, starting from the corners and working towards the center. The plaster thickness should slightly exceed the screed thickness by 1-2mm. Use a leveling board to scrape the surface evenly from bottom to top. The application thickness should be 5-10mm.

· Machine spraying: The spray gun should be perpendicular to the wall, with a distance of 100-200mm from the surface. Spray from top to bottom, starting from the corners and working towards the center. The application thickness can be completed in one pass for a thickness of 5-15mm. The spray thickness is slightly higher than the thickness of the punching strip by 1-2mm. After spraying, use a leveling board to scrape the surface evenly from bottom to top.

Curing

Under normal conditions, the crack-resistant plaster should be allowed to cure naturally. If the ambient temperature is above 35°C or the plaster is applied outdoors, water curing should be carried out after the plaster has hardened. The curing period should be no less than 7 days.
