British Gypsum Thistle PureFinish Plaster- 25kg - Pallet of 56

Weight: 25kg

Thistle PureFinish is a gypsum finish plaster for use on a wide range of backgrounds. It provides a smooth, inert, high quality surface to internal walls and ceilings, and a durable base for the application of decorative finishes. Thistle PureFinish is a retarded hemihydrate, pre-mixed gypsum plaster, requiring only the addition of clean water to prepare it for use. The ACTIVair technology within Thistle PureFinish absorbs and converts formaldehyde into non-harmful inert compounds.

CHARACTERISTICS
Gypsum plasters provide good fire protection due to the unique behaviour of gypsum in fire. Materials adjacent to the unexposed side will not exceed 100C below the temperature at which most materials will ignite and far below the critical temperatures for structural components. Once the gypsum layer is fully calcined, the residue acts as an insulating layer while it remains intact.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are often present in the air we breathe - emitted from furniture, carpets and building materials. Long-term exposure to these can potentially cause health problems and reduce general well-being. Clean air, on the other hand, can speed up patient recovery in hospitals, reduce absence at work, and increase pupils concentration at school. ACTIVair is British Gypsum's latest technology designed specifically to convert formaldehyde, a common VOC, into non-harmful inert compounds, removing 70% of the formaldehyde concentration in the indoor air. This clever technology continues to work over 50 years.

APPLICATION
INSTALLATION

  • Bags should be stored dry, as absorption of water shortens the setting time, causes set lumps to form in the bags and may reduce the strength of the set plasterwork,
  • Skim finishing using Thistle PureFinish should be to the smooth face of the board,
  • Thistle plasters should be mixed by adding to clean water in clean mixing equipment. Contamination from previous mixes adversely affects the setting time and the strength. Fresh contamination has more effect than old, so equipment should be washed just after mixing rather than just before.
  • Plaster is applied with firm pressure, built out to the required thickness in two applications and trowelled to a smooth matt finish.
  • Gypsum-based plasterwork must always be thoroughly dry before decorating, although a coat of permeable paint can be applied in the interim.
  • Tiles up to 20kg/m2 can be applied directly to the Thistle PureFinish, except where the system includes a bonding agent.
