Fairplast IP

Description:
Fairplast IP is a waterproof plaster additive, supplied as ready to use powder which should be dry mix in mortar. It introduces air into mortar in the form of extremely fine and evenly dispersed bubbles. This entrained air imparts improved workability which, due to the stability of the tiny bubbles, prevents premature stiffening and avoids the need for repeated “knocking up”. In the hardened mortar these minute bubbles provide a cautionary effect in screeds or renders. Capillary channels are also made discontinuous by the formation of the bubbles, thus reducing the penetration of water. Use of Fairplast IP in mortar makes it workable with economy. This removes the use of workability enhancing agents like lime.

Uses:
Fairplast IP is suitable for use with sand/cement plaster where it is required to reduce permeability. It can also be used in external plastering of roof and balcony screeds, plastering of basements and tanks, external masonry walls.

Benefits of Fairplast IP:
01) Better consistency.
02) Prolonged workability, ease to handle mortar.
03) Easier spreading of mortar and easy placing of bricks and blocks.
04) Reduces mortar droppings from surface.
05) Improves finishing.
06) Greater resistance to frost damage during construction.
07) Protection against freeze-thaw damage after construction.
08) Reduces permeability hence ensures waterproof plaster.
09) Increases yield of mortar results into cost benefits.
10) Reduces drying shrinkage cracks.
11) Chloride free and hence no risk of corrosion.
