Product catalog summary
Basecoat Plasters
Description: Gold Bond® Two-Way Hardwall Plaster is a basecoat plaster requiring the addition of aggregate and water, suitable for interior use over various plaster bases. It can be applied manually or with pump/spray machines.
Features/Benefits: The plaster offers controlled uniformity, set-stabilization, and is adjusted for market and seasonal changes. It provides uniform working qualities and excellent spread when mixed with sand or other aggregates.
Technical Data: It forms a hard, durable base with high tensile and compressive strength, offering resistance to structural movements, impacts, and abrasions. It is mineral-based and does not support combustion.
Gold Bond® Gypsolite® Plaster
Description: A lightweight gypsum basecoat plaster mixed with perlite aggregate, requiring only water addition. It is designed for trowel application over gypsum plaster base and metal lath.
Features/Benefits: Gypsolite ensures uniform strength and hardness, is lightweight, and has high insulating value with a "k" factor of 1.5. It offers excellent fire resistance.
Limitations: When used over metal lath, a sand float finish is recommended to prevent cracking and spalling.
Specification Reference: Complies with ASTM Designation C 28.
Aggregate Proportion and Estimated Coverage:
Coverage varies based on the type of base and aggregate proportions, with specific measurements provided for sanded gypsum lath, foil back lath, metal lath, and brick & clay tile.
Finish Plasters
Description: Gold Bond Gauging Plaster is designed for use with finish lime, providing strength and hardness to the finish surface. It is available in quick set and slow set types.
Mill-Mixed Finish Plasters: Products like Kal-Kote Smooth Finish and Texture Finish Plaster require only water addition and are applied at specific thicknesses.
Specification Reference: Complies with ASTM Designation C 28.
Gold Bond® Gypsum Moulding Plaster
Description: A finely ground gypsum used for ornamental plaster work, adaptable for casting in various moulds. It is mixed with lime putty for run-in-place ornamental work.
Specification Reference: Complies with ASTM Designation C 59.
Technical Data:
Coverage and application methods are detailed for gypsum gauging and moulding plasters, with specific coverage metrics provided.
Physical Properties of Basecoat Plasters:
Test results per ASTM C 472 are provided, detailing compressive and tensile strengths for various mixes and aggregates.

Basecoat Plasters-1

Strength Two-Way Hardwall Plaster properly proportioned with aggregate forms a hard, durable base for the finish coat. Its high tensile and compressive strength results in increased resistance to minor structural movements, impacts and abrasions Fire Resistance Two-Way Hardwall Plaster is essentially mineral in composition and will not support combustion . High Insulating Value Gypsolite has a "k" factor of 1.5 which provides about 3-1/2 times the insulating value of sanded plaster . Fire Resistance Gypsolite has excellent fire-resistive qualities and generally provides fire ratings higher than sanded plaster Limitations When used over metal lath, a sand float finish should be specified . A smooth-trowel finish is not recommended since the combination of a relatively soft (perlite aggregated) basecoat and a hard (smooth-trowel lime/gauging) finish has the potential for cracking and spalling of the finish coat. Gold Bond® brand Two-Way Hardwall Gypsum Plaster Description Gold Bond® Two-Way Hardwall Plaster is a basecoat plaster which requires the job site addition of an aggregate and water to provide working qualities and is designed for interior use over all accepted plaster bases . It may be applied by hand or used through pump/ spray plastering machines Features/Benefits Controlled Uniformity Two-Way Hardwall Plaster is set-stabilized and adjusted for market requirements and seasonal changes When mixed with sand or other aggregate it has uniform working qualities and excellent spread . Gold Bond® brand Gypsolite® Plaster Description Gold Bond® Gypsolite® is a lightweight gypsum basecoat plaster mixed at the mill with correctly sized and proportioned perlite aggregate, requiring only the addition of water on the job . It is manufactured to be trowel-applied over gypsum plaster base, and in some cases metal lath (see LIMITATIONS .) Features/Benefits Uniform Strength and Hardness Uniformity is assured through exact proportioning and thorough mixing of graded perlite and gypsum plaster at the mill . Gypsolite provides a uniform base for the finish coat. Lightweight Gypsolite weighs less than half as much as sanded gypsum plaster, thus reducing the dead-load on framing Technical Data GYPSOLITE ESTIMATED COVERAGE (50 LB. BAG) Plaster Base(Sq.
