Uttam Gypsum One Coat + gypsum plaster is for use on almost all Internal substrates, e.g. brickwork, blocks or concrete. It provides Inert, smooth, high quality and durable base for application of decorative finishes over internal walls and ceilings. It is a lightweight, premixed gypsum plaster, requiring only addition of clean water to prepare it for use.
Uttam Gypsum One Coat + is a specially formulated gypsum plaster, manufactured with imported gypsum ore, gypsum mines, which can be hand applied over any normal walls/solid backgrounds, in single application in normal thickness. Good surface finish & good impact strength are its unique properties. It attains early strength & does not suffer from inherent shrinkage cracks. It sets hard in a matter of hours & attains maximum strength & bonding on drying. Specially formulated to suit Indian climatic/site working conditions.
We also manufacture gypsum with vermiculite & perlite additives on special requirement.
Colour of finished surface: White
 Low Density Higher Coverage: Its density is low to provide better coverage maintaining its all in built properties. The Coverage of Uttam Gypsum One Coat is approx. 20-22 sqft. per 25 kg in normal 12mm thickness.
Gradual Setting With No Shrinkage Cracks: Once plaster attains strength, it does not suffer from inherent shrinkage cracks. The setting time of plaster is app. 8-12 minutes, after mixing with water. The setting progresses evenly & gradually until the surface is hard enough to receive a final stroke of trowel, at app 20-25 minutes.
No Water Curing Required: Plaster does not require any water curing after the application, thus saves time, water consumption & manpower. This helps to complete project faster.
Strong Bonding & Good Strength: It sets hard in a matter of hours, to ensure continuity of also it attains maximum strength on drying. After it is completely dry, it also attains strong bonding with most solid backgrounds.
Easy Workability: It has been formulated for easy to mix, to be spread & applied by normal POP workers by normal hand application prevailing practice, in trade.
Thickness: The thickness of plaster is recommended to be 12mm of uneven background but should not exceed 15 mm on level & even background. If thickness is more than 15 mm, it should be applied in two subsequent applications. Minimum 5mm and maximum 20 thickness is recommended.
The wall is marked with level strips, vertically at 1200 mm centers, then check the straight edge or tine by using aluminum square tube. The high spots on walls are identified and minimum level in 6 mm thickness is marked to control the thickness of Plaster.
The background should be suitably wetted 10 minutes prior to plastering, to displace trapped air & to facilitate that the plaster has good contact & bonding with background.
Plaster wet mix is prepared by mixing powder with clean water, to have workable consistency add 60 to 70 % clean water by volume to the product and mixed thoroughly with a mechanical stirrer or by hand. The wet mix is then applied, on rigid surface by using trowel, in required thickness, as per level strips fixed as reference guideline.
The best results are obtained by applying light coat with firm pressure while using
The entire surface of the wall is plastered in line & level, As the plaster stiffens progressively, flattering & finishing should be carried out.
When the plaster is sufficiently formed, the surface should be finished with sponge coat with light application of water. The finishing is finally done with slurry coat, and by using trowel to have final smooth finish surface.
In-situ or pre-cast concrete which are exceptionally smooth or having low suction will require pre-treatment with Uttam plaster bond-bonding agent.
