Gold Bond Kal-Kote Base Coat Veneer Plaster

Description

Kal-Kote® BRAND Base Plaster is a specially designed high strength basecoat plaster for application 1/16" minimum thickness over Kal-Kore® , masonry or monolithic concrete that has been treated with a bonding agent.

Strength of Kal-Kote Base is substantially greater than that exhibited by typical sanded basecoat plaster.

Fire Resistance
Fire ratings equivalent to those of drywall systems can be obtained by applying the corresponding Kal-Kore type and thickness over the same framing member size and spacing, with the same fasteners. The total plaster thickness should be a minimum of 1/8". The minimum 1/8" thickness is achieved by applying a finish not exceeding 1/16" over 3/32" of Kal-Kote Base Plaster.

Specification Reference
ASTM Designation C 587.

Bag Weight
80 lbs. (36.3 kg)
