ProPlaster™ Finish coat is gypsum based white finish putty formulated for application over gypsum plaster. It is recommended for interior wall and ceiling surfaces, and over properly prepared monolithic concrete in residential and commercial projects. It provides a strong, hard surface that resists abrasion and surface cracking, creates a beautiful white finish and offers a fire rating of up to four hours. it can be richly textured or finished smooth to a hard, dense surface.
Finish Coat can be painted with acrylic or other high-grade latex breather-type paints
Note: Polyvinyl acetate primers are highly susceptible to moisture and can cause paint delamination when applied over wet plaster finishes. Before applying acrylic or latex breather-type paints, be sure the plaster surface is dry. If alkyd or oil-based paints are used, the surface must first be sealed with a good-quality alkali-resistant sealer.

Application Tips
Mixing Instructions
- Use clean water and clean container (not a dry drum or wheelbarrow)
- Add ProPlaster to water, measure out 12 liters of clean water in a 20 kgs bag and soak for 10 minutes.
- Mix slowly if manually it reduces plasticity of material, if using drill machine turn on the drill when the plaster is wet. Mix for 5 minutes and keep 800RPM, mixture must have texture of thick cream.
- Mix only until the plaster is lump free. Over mixing shortens working time .Do not re-stir or add more Finish Coat or water to the mix after mixing is complete.
ProPlaster™ Spray Finish is the way forward
Inimitable ProPlaster methodology developed by Lodhia Gypsum Industries is proven to be four times faster than conventional plaster. It aims to achieve labor efficiency, by offering Quality-assured material, ready to be applied through spray plastering machine, promising guaranteed results, leading to reduced man power & increased work efficiency.
Ideal for rigid deadlines and budget constraints
Arish™ ProPlaster™ One Coat & Base Coat can be sprayed directly onto walls which is much faster, creates a smoother finish and reduces costs. Revolutionary in its results, it is set to save substantial time, labor and water costs especially on large building projects.
ProPlaster™ can be Spray finish with worm pump spray machines, providing Smooth, high qualities finish onto wall surface In a fraction of the time of traditional plastering methods. This improves productivity enables projects to be handed over earlier.
Generally speaking, when applied by hand, the plaster application is a labor intensive process.
However, when applied by machine, the process becomes simpler and more efficient, allowing for continuous mixing and an increase in the productivity of the plastering team.
Application Steps
Step 1 Mix
ProSeries wall plasters are also designed to work with worm pump spray machines. Simply open the bag over the machine hopper and set the machine water gauge to 800 mili bar and the machine automatically mixes the plaster to a consistent mix.
Step 2 Spray
Damp the wall surface first and Spray ProPlaster to an even thickness of 2mm. Apply spray like zigzag pattern from right to left and from bottom to top.
Step 3 Flatten
After 5-10 minutes, the sprayed surface is flattened with a wide spatula or Darby.
Step 4 Trowel
Use the trowel to flatten the surface.
(a). Right after the final setting, using the sponge to extract gypsum seriflux out of the plaster, spray some water for the extraction if necessary.
(b). Leave to harden, the final trowel is done at around 110minutes with steel trowel to get a brilliant and hard glazed surface. The wall/ceiling is now finished. Once dry, the surface is ready for decorating with no need for any sanding or additional treatment.
Spray to an even thickness. Apply spray like zigzag pattern from right to left and from bottom to top.
Note: On Base Case coat use ProPlaster™ Finish Coat with hand application as the final layer for the smooth finish. One bag of Finish Coat will cover 75sq ft. For the extra smooth surface a thin layer of Finish Coat can also be applied on One Coat
Note Well:
Plastering machine and the application tools should be cleaned after finishing the job.
Storage Conditions
- Bags should be store in dry places and should not be stacked in more than 15 layers. Direct contract with ground and moisture must be avoided.
- Using ProPlaster within 6 months after the date of production is recommended.
- Poor or over-long storage may deteriorate the physical properties of ProPlaster
Features:
- Harder than regular gauging and lime putty finish.
- Fast-applying—permits next day decorating.
- Excellent coverage
Note: Polyvinyl acetate primers are highly susceptible to moisture and can cause paint delamination when applied over wet plaster finishes. Before applying acrylic or latex breather-type paints, be sure the plaster surface is dry. If alkyd or oil-based paints are used, the surface must first be sealed with a good-quality alkali-resistant sealer.
