Super Stucco Plaster

SuperStucco is used as a coating for walls and ceilings

Application can be manual or sprayed by machine

It can be applied directly on a concrete surface. No hacking is required

SuperStucco can be used as a base coat on plasters for interiors that can be painted after 24 hrs

Only water needs to be added, easy to mix and application is much faster

SuperStucco has a very high tensile adhesion strength and hence higher bonding with the base material

Does not require any water curing

SuperStucco is pre-mixed and hence hassle-free, involving no cumbersome mixing of cement and sand at site

Mixing is easier and application is much faster

The application can be as thin as 2 - 3 mm or as thick as 8 - 10 mm, depending upon the requirement

Ultratech SuperStucco can be used as a crack filler for external walls, in repairing old plastered surfaces, in repair of shrinkage cracks in parapet walls, in repairs after plumbing / electrical works etc.

Highly economical. Eliminates the lengthy, cumbersome process of transporting individual materials and mixing on site

Saves time and labour as it comes pre-mixed, requiring only water to be added on site

Consistent and assured quality, as it comes pre-mixed

No water curing required

No crack formation during drilling or plumbing work

Does not flake when in contact with moisture

Cement based, allowing better bonding with the substrate

Allows subsequent application of putty or paint just 24 hours after application

Provides better breathability for walls

Can be applied over moist surfaces

Highly durable

Excellent crack-filling properties

Residential buildings, commercial complexes, basements, parking areas etc.

SuperStucco can be directly used on surfaces made from fly ash bricks, concrete blocks, AAC blocks etc.

Foam finished concrete (dense smooth concrete) which has less undulation. In such cases, plastering is not required

In the case of ordinary clay bricks or hollow blocks, where the undulation is high, plastering is essential over which stucco may be applied upto 2 to 4 mm thickness depending on base plaster.

Repairs and renovation of old concrete and plastered surfaces

It is very important that UltraTech SuperStucco is thoroughly mixed with water before use. It is advisable to use a mechanical stirrer for uniform and thorough mixing. This also saves time, labour and ensures maximum workability.

Take a clean vessel or bucket without any holes or cuts pour some water in it to ensure that no powder gets stuck to the bottom. Add the required quantity of UltraTech SuperStucco.

Mixing Ratio The amount of clean potable water required is approximately 25 % to 30 % of the weight of the powder, depending upon the thickness of the product to be applied. Water is to be incrementally added in stages, to get a smooth, uniform, workable mix. Allow ample time for initial mixing.

Ensure that no powder is left unmixed at the bottom of the vessel. The SuperStucco is now ready for application.

Special care must be taken in case of manual mixing to ensure thorough and uniform mix of SuperStucco.

UltraTech SuperStucco can be applied on the surface manually with a trowel

After thoroughly mixing the SuperStucco, apply the first coat on the moistened wall surface uniformly, going upward from the bottom. This will ensure minimum wastage and a proper finish

The thickness of the coating should be 3 mm (1/8 inch).

Allow the surface to dry for at least 3 hours and then apply the second coat. Leave the surface to dry completely

For higher thickness, a number of subsequent coats can be applied to achieve the surface in plumb

Leave the surface to dry (preferably overnight for 10-12 hours) before subsequent application

No water curing is required

Prepare only the required quantity of SuperStucco and use it within 2 to 3 hours of mixing with water. Do not add extra water

Do not apply under direct sunlight or in temperatures higher than 35°C. if the application is done under direct sunlight, necessary measures like covering the surface with net and water curing after two hours should be undertaken

In case of ordinary clay bricks or hollow blocks where the undulation is high, plastering is essential. SuperStucco may be applied over plaster in a thickness of 2 to 4 mm, depending on the surface undulation for leveling.

Under normal conditions, the coverage from a 40 kg bag of SuperStucco is approximately 10 sq. m. for an average thickness of 3 mm. the coverage area however will depend upon the quality of the substrate and thickness of the material used.

UltraTech SuperStucco should be stored in a cool, dry place. Storage life is 6 months.

The usage of stucco or any application based product is usually decided in the planning stage of a new construction. In the case of repair / rehabilitation segment, the plastering is usually removed and the walls are strengthened. Here, the stucco may be directly used and painting can be done subsequently. Hence, stucco becomes an economical option.

For best results, the correct tools for mixing and application are desirable. This will result in higher coverage along with time and manpower savings.
