Sinicon PP Plaster Benefits |
|
| |
| |
1. Absolute climate control. |
|
|
| |
If plastered from inside or outside it protects from harsh weather entering the room. It retains the temperature inside during all weather like a Thermos Flask. No need of extra roofing to cover the building structure. |
| |
|
| |
A 20mm plaster on inside wall would give a reduction in room temperature same as having a double clay bricks wall as shown in the picture. |

A 20mm plaster on inside and outside wall would give a reduction in room temperature same as having a two double clay bricks wall as shown in the picture. |
|
| |
|
| |
| |
2. Large Scale Energy saving |
|
|
| |
The Thermal Conductivity i.e. ‘K’ value of Sinicon PP plaster 4.5:1, is as low as 0.13 and hence it does not allow heat to pass through it easily. Therefore, less or no air conditioning required thus saving lots of energy cost.
Rate of Heat Exchange can be derived from: |
| |
|
| |
Q in Joules = K a (Temp1 – Temp2) x t / L |
| |
|
| |
W = Q/t = Ka (Temp1 – Temp2) / L |
| |
|
|
| |
3. Durability of Structure |
|
|
| |
Sinicon PP is water resistant and hence does not easily allow water to enter into the structure hence the corrosion to the reinforcement is substantially reduced thus the life of the building is extended many times. |
| |
|
| |
Ideal for plastering in areas where the moisture content is more. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Due to its reduced water permeability factors the painting lasts more than the wall plastered with conventional plastering. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Sinicon PP does not react to the fire and hence the building structure becomes fire resistant and safe. A multi storied building is exposed to the risk of losing total building strength because a fire incident in one small area would affect the strength of the total structure. |
| |
|
| |
(This means that if the steel structure in the World Trade Centre had Sinicon PP applied to it, people in the buildings would have had longer time to evacuate the buildings before collapse). |
| |
|
| |
Less fire insurance premium - Since a fire in one area / apartment does not affect the strength of the building structure you may negotiate the fire premium. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
No effect on the structure due to frequent changes in the weather i.e. rain/sun switching generally affects the conventional plastering and concrete but has no effect on Sinicon PP in plaster. Substrate corrosion is substantially reduced and structure life is increased. |
| |
|
|
| |
7. Amazing resistance to spalling |
|
|
| |
Under fire conditions and, more severely, under water quench conditions following extreme heat (e.g. from a fire hose of fire brigade) conventional concrete will spall and lose its integrity. Sinicon PP exhibits no such tendency and, following a fire, the material need not be replaced. |
| |
|
| |
The two COMRO (Chamber of Mines Research Organisation) test tunnels for researching on deep mining have Sinicon PP linings which have endured thousands of high temperature test burns. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Being a light weight material the dead weight of a building can be considerably reduced and proportionately the structure size could also be reduced resulting reduction in overall project cost. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Sinicon PP gives the wall surface a very smooth finish thus the cost on applying putty can be substantially saved if not completely avoided. |
| |
|
|
| |
10. Improved Acoustic Properties |
|
|
| |
Sinicon PP improve the acoustic properties of the building reducing the unwanted noise from outside however, improving the interior sound conductivity. You can better enjoy music if plastered from inside. |
| |
|
| |
Ideal for high traffic and noisy area construction. |
|
| |
| |
11. Durable – Vermin and Termite Resistant |
|
|
| |
Being an inorganic material it is vermin and termite resistant hence cannot be rot, ensuring increased life of the structure and also the wooden fittings attached to it. |

How to Mix Sinicon PP Sinicon PP with Cement |
|
| |
| |
All the principles of good concrete practice apply to Sinicon PP mixes. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A mechanical means of mixing is suggested. A pan mixer is preferable as a drum mixer tends to make balls. If this equipment is not available, manual mixing with shovels is acceptable. |
| |
|
| |
As Sinicon PP is a non-absorbent volcanic glass, water will not be absorbed into the material. The use of a sealed, leakproof container is therefore recommended to prevent leaching of the required amount of water. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Mix Sinicon PP and cement in a dry state first (a little water may be used to dampen slightly in order to suppress dust).
|
|
Add the correct amount of water (refer to ‘Mix design and suitability guide’ – and note that the water is given in litres per 100 litres of Sinicon PP!). The product may appear very dry, especially if hand-mixed, but this is correct. It is important to monitor the amount of water added since small differences in water content have a large effect on overall consistency and slump.
|
|
Mix, but do not overdo mixing time – about 30 seconds in a pan mixer is all that is required (longer mixing entrains too much air).
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Approximately 11 bags of Sinicon PP will be required for each cubic metre of concrete/plaster to be mixed (cement and water will be added to this quantity of Sinicon PP.) This applies to all mixes mentioned in the mix design and suitability guide. |
|
| |
| |
4. Gunnite and Loose-fill |
|
|
| |
Sinicon PP concrete may also be gunnited. Because air velocities are used than for ordinary gunniting procedures, the rebound is lower. A further advantage is that the rebound can be re-used. |
| |
|
| |
Sinicon PP can also be used as a loose-fill (without cement) to fill cavities for thermal insulation purposes. |
|
| |
| |
|
Surface Preparation for Plastering |
|
| |
|
Splash water on the surface to be plastered and make it wet and cool.
|
|
If surface is very smooth apply Plaster Grip Primer. (After applying the plaster grip primer, plastering can be done on any kind of smooth surface. (You can plaster on Glass!).
|
|
For plastering on roof top of the existing / old buildings. Surface preparation is very important. Remove fungus and dirt by way of scraping the surface by wire brush to ensure good adhesion for the new Sinicon PP cement plaster. You may also apply plaster grip primer if surface is very smooth.
|
|
| |
| |
|
| |
|
Push apply the plaster on the wall or roof. It need not be thrown on the surface like conventional plastering.
|
|
Leave rough applied plaster to dry and mature for some time; say 5-10 minutes. The Plaster must be set prior to leveling with straight edge. However depending upon the cement variation in some cases it can be done instantly.
|
|
Check whether plaster is set by applying thump pressure and it should be difficult to cause an indentation on the plaster surface.
|
|
If plaster is set Level the plaster with the straight edge. Note that if the straight edge is applied prematurely, it will cause the plaster to de-bond from the wall like conventional plaster.
|
|
Float finish the surface with Wood Float with little water splashed on with a brush, and then by using the steel trowel to give the surface a very smooth finish.
|
|
Ensure surface is well done with the Steel Trowel so that there is no porous holes on the plaster surface in order that putty application may be avoided.
|
|
| |
| |
|
| |
|
Standard method being adopted for conventional cement plaster is sufficient.
|
|
The surface must be kept moist for the first 14 days while curing.
|
|
Sufficient wetting of the plastered surface is required so as to allow for the setting of cement over a period of time to achieve the required strength.
