Description
Uses of Vetotherm Plaster
- Thermal insulation of residential and industrial concrete buildings.
- Save energy consumption related to heating and cooling.
- Internally or externally in wet & dry conditions onto block walls & rough surfaces.
Advantages of Vetotherm Plaster
- Excellent thermal insulation properties.
- Fast mixing application using a spray machine.
- It contains a special additive that reduces friction
and prolongs the lifespan of the equipment.
- Factory-controlled pre-blend ensures
consistently high quality.
- Requires only the addition of water on-site at
the time of usage.
- Uniform color/mass.
- Improved workability & curing.
- Easy application with uniform workflow enables
high productivity & superior finishing.
- Strong adhesion on a variety of substrates.
- Internal & external applications.
- Shrinkage control reduces surface cracks.
- Suitable for humid & dry conditions.
Standards Compliance of Vetotherm Plaster
- BS:EN 998-1 CSIII, W1, T1
- Cement type: ASTM C150, type1.
- ASTM C518
Surface Preparation
The substrate should be sound, clean, free from loose
material, grease, laitance, dirt curing compound, etc.
Before Vetotherm Plaster, wet the entire surface with
clean potable water; the surface should look damp at
the time of the Vetotherm Plaster application.
Mixing
For manual application, add to the mixing container
6.6 – 7.4 liters of water for each 20 Kg bag of Vetotherm
Plaster or 33 – 37% of the machine application weight.
Add the powder to the water and mix with a mechanical
plaster mixer or low-speed electric drill fitted with
a suitable paddle for 3-4 minutes until achieving a
uniform, lump-free consistency.
Manual mixing is allowed for small batch quantities.
Mix for approximately 1-2 minutes until achieving a
homogeneous mix.
Application
Apply Vetotherm Plaster in a single or two coats on
rough or smooth surfaces by manual or machine
application to achieve the desired thickness of 25-100
mm.
Apply the mixed material using a spray machine or
hawk & trowel technique. Rod or screed to uniform
thickness, not exceeding 25 mm for a single coat or 25
mm for each coat for multiple layers. Pres the first layer
hard against the surface.
For the second layer, allow the first layer to set (60-
120min depending on weather) partially. Apply the
second layer as described above.
Water spray the surface if the second layer is carried
out the next day.
Curing
The best way to cure Vetotherm Plaster is by spraying
water evenly on the applied material surfaces every
12 hrs for a minimum of 3 days. During hot & dry
conditions, allow curing for a minimum of 5 days; It will
help obtain high mechanical strengths.
Cleaning
Clean all tools immediately after finishing with water.
Clean hardened materials mechanically.
Packaging & Coverage
Stated consumption data are for general guidance.
Actual consumption depends on the nature of the
substrate, method of application, and wastage.
Shelf Life & Storage
The original sealed bag of Vetotherm Plaster has a shelf
life of 12 months, provided it is stored clear of ground
in a dry, shaded place below 35oC.
Health & Safety
Vetotherm Plaster is highly alkaline; therefore, avoid
direct contact with eyes or skin. It is recommended to
use protective gloves and goggles during application.
Any skin contact should be wash with soap & water. In
case of eye irritation, immediately wash with a copious
amount of cold water. Seek medical advice.

safety data sheet.
