Description

NHP 260 LIGHT is a one coat, ready mix gypsum plaster for indoor application. It consists of gypsum, lightweight fillers, marble and additives. Gypsum plaster replaces the traditional three-layer plastering system (sough cast-base coat-final coat plaster). It is also replaced the need for puttying the wall. NHP 260 light has a very good adhesion to mineral substrates and helps levelling and smoothing the surface at the same time in a one-layer application. It provides a white and durable surface without cracks. Produced and controlled according to European standard EN 13279-1.

Application Fields

  • It is applied to interior walls and roofs, on bricks, aerated concrete, exposed concrete, insulation boards etc., resulting to final surface ready for painting.

Advantages

  • Replaces three coat plastering and traditional plaster.
  • Faster completion of the project.
  • Increase profit for application teams and constructors.
  • Durable and crack-free surfaces.
  • Allow surfaces to breathe.
  • Ensures excellent adhesion to the substrate.
  • Excellent workability.
  • Excellent sag resistance properties.
  • Excellent smoothing – Extra fine surfaces ready for painting.
  • CE certified according to the European standard ΕΝ 13279-1.

Application Steps

Step 1

Application thickness ranges from 8 mm to 2.5 cm in one layer. If the thickness is greater, it is recommended that the application should be made in two layers. Ceilings thickness should be 8 mm - 1.5 cm.

Step 2

The gypsum plaster is preferably applied with continuous mixing machine. Keeping the machine hose up, fill the spaces between the depth gauge beads and the other parts of the building.

Step 3

When the plaster sets (approximately after one hour of application, depending on weather conditions), scrape and level the surface removing excess material. Then sprinkle the surface with water and sponge with a sponge float. After 10 -15 minutes using a metal (American type) trowel smooth the surfaces.

Step 4

After that level the plaster using a metal darby (small surfaces with an American trowel) and create flat surfaces.

Step 5

When the plaster sets (approximately after one hour of application, depending on weather conditions), scrape and level the surface removing excess material.

Step 6

Then, sprinkle the surface with water and sponge with a sponge float. After 10 -15 minutes using a metal (American type) trowel smooth the surfaces.

Step 7

In corners (edges or recesses), in corners between wall and floor or wall and ceiling use the special tools (trowels and scrapers) in order to obtain smooth edges.

Step 8

After 2 hours when the surface has hardened, sprinkle with water and smooth the wall again using the metal trowel, giving the end surface.

Step 9

When the plaster has completely dried out (after 10-15 days) you can sand the surfaces with a special sandpaper (manually or with sander) in order to get an extra smooth result.

Step 10

The plastered surfaces should be ventilated sufficiently to dry evenly. If the surface of the plaster should be covered with tiles, then after the stage of leveling the plaster with a darby you don’t proceed with the next steps in order to provide a rough surface for better adhesion.

Step 11

When applying the tile adhesive, spread it on the plastered and primed surface and "comb" it following horizontal direction.

Storage

Stored in wooden pallets in dry environments at temperatures above 00C for 6 months from the production date.
