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 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.
ASTM Designation C 587.
80 lbs. (36.3 kg)
1/16" on Kal-Kore Base, 425-475 sq. yds. per ton (150-170 sq. ft. per bag). One coat to level over masonry, 225-275 sq. yds. per ton (80-100 sq. ft. per bag).
Kal-Kote Basecoat is a high strength basecoat plaster for application over Kal-Kore. This system offers four finish options: Kal-Kote Smooth, Kal-Kote Texture, Uni-Kal and X-KALibur.
The advantages of veneer plaster over other commonly used partition and ceiling systems include:
- Rapid installation which reduces overall construction time.
- Appearance and surface of conventional plaster at lower cost than regular plastering.
- High resistance to cracking, nail-popping, impact and abrasion failure.
- Mill-mixed plaster components help assure uniform installation performance and finished job quality.
