PLASTER
PURPOSE: PROTECTIVE,DECORATIVE
USED IN: CIELING,WALLS
STUCCO: RELIEF DECORATION
HISTORY
• Used in Middle East at least 7,000
years ago.
• In Egypt, gypsum was used for
pyramids
• In Jericho used for decoration.
• In Jericho brought plaster-work
techniques to Europe
• Ease of work
• is suitable for
finishing
• models and
molds are made
with plaster
• used to create
large figurative
reliefs for walls
ABOUT THE MATERIAL
TYPES
• Clay plaster
• Gypsum plaster (plaster of Paris)
• Lime plaster
• Cement plaster
• Heat-resistant plaster
• X-ray shielding plaster
• Acoustic plaster
• Lath and plaster
CLAY PLASTER
• mixture of clay, sand and water
• used around the world at least since antiquity
• substituted with clay as a binder.
• Sand, fine gravels and fibres were added to
reduce the concentrations
GYPSUM
• also known as plaster of Paris
• mineral bassanite as natural
component
• Plaster of Paris is stored in
moisture-proof containers
• The setting of plaster of Paris is
accompanied by a slight
expansion of volume
• The initial matrix consists mostly of
orthorhombic crystals
LIME PLASTERS
• mixture of calcium hydroxide and sand
• limestone (calcium carbonate) is heated
above approximately 850 °C (1600°F)
• Additional water is added to form a paste prior
to use. The paste may be stored in airtight
containers.
• reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide
make it stronger.
CEMENT PLASTER
• mixture of suitable plaster, sand,
Portland cement and water
• cement-based plasters are also
used as proprietary spray
fireproofing products.
• Heavy versions of such plasters
are also in use for exterior
fireproofing,
HEAT RESISTANT
• used for coating walls and chimney
breasts
• Its purpose is to replace
conventional gypsum
• Calcination process in heat
resistance
X-RAY SHIELDING
• Barium plaster
• granite silicone plaster,
ACOUSTIC PLASTERS
• contains fibers or aggregate
• newer ones consist of a base layer of
absorptive substrate panels
• for greater sound attenuation 2 layers are
provided
• Pre-made acoustic panels are more
commonly used
• greater level of skill required in application
LATH AND PLASTERS
• Lath and plaster is an interior wall
construction method.
• The technique derives from an
earlier, more primitive process
called wattle and daub.
• dry wall
STANDARDS
•American Standards ASTM C926 Standard Specification for Application of Portland
Cement-Based Plaster
•2. New Zealand Standards NZS 4251-1 (2007): Solid plastering – Cement plasters for
walls, ceilings and soffits
•3. European Standards BS EN 998-1 Specification for mortar for masonry – Part 1:
Rendering and plastering mortar.
•4. Indian Standard (BIS codes)IS 383 Specification for coarse and fine aggregates
for natural sources for concrete.
•IS 1542 Specifications for sand for plaster
•IS 2645 Specifications for integral cement waterproofing compound
•IS 8112 Specification for 43 grade OPC
•IS 269 Specification for 33 grade OPC
•IS 1489 Specification for Portland Pozzolana Cement
ADVANTAGES
•It is light in weight and more
durable.
•It has low thermal conductivity.
•It is very good fire resistant and
hence a very good heat insulating
material.
•It does not shrink while setting. ...
•It forms a thick surface to resist
normal knocks after drying.
DISADVANTAGES
•It cannot be used in moist
situations.
•It is not suitable in moist
environments.
•Plaster of Paris cannot be mixed
with cement.
•Gypsum plaster is not suitable for
exterior finish as it is slightly
soluble in water.
•Plaster of Paris is very expensive
as compared to Gypsum.
