Conlite Plaster

Conlite Plaster

Perlite
based plaster offers the only organic mineral based coating available.
Conlite (Plaster) is used around the world, offering cost savings
throughout the supply process. Its lightweight means for lower
transport, application and structural costs and once emplaced it offers
excellent insulation against noise, fire, vermin and climate.

Laboratory
and field tests have proven perlite, conlite and sand concrete is
suitable for use over structural forms such as corrugated steel, rib
steel or cellular steel floor units and plywood sub-floors and ideal as
a base for a wide variety of floor materials including carpet, tiles
and hardwoods. Perlite based plaster has endless unique properties
accounting for its ready acceptance and widespread use by many leading
architects, general contractors and plastering contractors.

Advantages:
Lightweight:
Conlite plaster is only one third the weight of sanded plaster.
Lightness in weight also permits the plasterer to maintain his optimum
production for the full working day with much less effort. Fireproofing:
National bodies have been swift to recognize the advantages of superior
fire protection and potential cost reductions afforded by
Perlite/plaster fireproofing and have modernized codes to take full use
of this. Fire tests at the underwriters laboratories have resulted in
ratings as high as 4 hours for plaster containing Perlite. Insulating:
Perlite possesses millions of tiny air particles and in turn permanent
insulation cavities that reduce heat transmission losses. Perlite adds
a high thermal insulation value to plaster. Better
Workability: Its sharpness has similar workability to that of sand.
Plasterers because of its ease of handling and simplicity appreciate
it. Crack Resistant: Perlite/plaster has a high degree of resiliency ensuring less cracking. Base
Coat Plaster: Perlite is an ideal aggregate for all general (base coat)
plastering. On many jobs it costs no more than ordinary sand plaster.
It mixes with both gypsum plaster and cement for the scratch and brown
coats. Acoustics: Perlite acoustic plaster is an efficient,
economical and attractive sound absorbent plaster that can be handled
by any skilled laborer. It can be washed and redecorated, is of proper
hardiness, and can withstand normal wear and tear without dusting and
disintegration. This natural white finish has an attractive
no-glare surface texture remaining vermin-proof, with high insulation
due to its low thermal conductivity.
