Buildmaxx Readymix Plaster is a premixed cement-based solution to substitute for the traditional site mix wall plaster process. The solution consists of processed sand which is graded and distributed as per particle size and proportionately mixed, cement, and water soluble polymers which act as additives. The application method requires mixing of water before application and the mix is ready for plastering. it can be used for both external and internal plastering.
Internal:
8-10 mm single coat is recommended for internal plaster covering.
External:
Two coats are recommended to cover the external side of walls i.e. Base coat of 8-12 mm and Finish coat of 8-12 mm to get a total thickness of around 18-20 mm, further depending upon site conditions. After Base coat, minimum 2 to 3 days curing must be done before application of Finish coat.

| Parameters | Buildmaxx Readymix Plaster | Conventional Method |
|---|---|---|
| Application Time | Fast application | Not possible |
| Quality | Consistent quality due to computerized process | Manual mixing hence not possible to test every batch |
| Shrinkage Cracks | No shrinkage cracks | Significantly high shrinkage cracks |
| Handing & Storage | Easy handling and storage | Difficult to keep stock of different material |
| Wastage | No wastage | High wastage |
| Efflorescence | Negligable | Observed in many cases |
| Sand | Graded | Non graded |
| Rebound Loss | Minimum | High due to non gradation & bigger sand particle size. |
High compressive and tensile strength increases masonry strength and load-bearing capacity.
Due to the manufacturing process and accurate particle size distribution, the material is of consistent quality.
The material is pre-mixed and only water has to be added on site. This makes the process of plastering much easier and quicker.
No hassle of maintaining mortar ratio, whereas in the conventional method labour and supervision are required to prepare the mix.
No Shrinkage cracks, as premix plaster raw materials are tested and accurately mixed with specific particle size and quantity.
The wastage caused in the conventional site mix process while sand sieving and mixing material is totally avoided.
Due to lower density and high volume, it covers 15-20 sq.ft./bag with a thickness of 10-12mm.
Easy to maintain stock as equal size packaging in bag form is provided.
It provides smooth finish walls even in a single coat. Hence saves time and cost required for putty coating.
Surface finish after application is excellent and equal due to best particle size grading, hence maximizing wall plaster performance.
No site mix and blending of powder is required. Only water is to be added.
Unlike the uncertain availability of raw river sand, Readymix bags are available round the year.
All concrete and Block joints must be covered with a chicken wire mesh.
The surface should be free from oil, grease, paint, loose plaster or dirt particles.
Dampen the wall before application of plaster.
In 6-7 liters of potable water add 1 bag of readymix Plaster.
Leave the mix to react for 5-10 min and remix before use.
Apply cement slurry. If the surface is smooth and dense, the surface should be made rough.
Re-mixing should be done for 5-10 minutes.
The mixture should be thrown while the cement slurry is wet. Ensure levelling with the help of tools.
If 2nd coat is required, ensure grooving on first coat to provide good grip for 2nd coat.
After final coat ensure proper levelling with the help of appropriate tools.
After the plaster is dry, curing should be done 2-3 times a day for 7 days minimum.
