Description

EXTRATIME is a chemical additive for use with finishing plasters. The additive slows the curing process of the plaster by slowing the chemical crystal formation that causes the gypsum plaster to set or harden. Extratime is recommended for moderate lenthening of finishing plaster setting times. Extratime will lengthen the setting time by 30-60 minutes depending on the ambient temperature, relative humidity of the environment and the surface being plastered.

Extratime has been developed by a plasterer with over 20 years experience in the trade to allow more time to complete larger areas. It is ideal for ceilings and large walls.

Extratime can be used with all finishing plasters. It helps make plastering easier especially when working on large areas or in hot weather. It simply takes the pressure off.

BENEFITS

• Extend plaster setting times by up to 60mins*
• Ideal for plastering larger areas
• Use with all finishing plasters
• 1 sachet for every 25Kg of plaster

DOES EXTRATIME AFFECT THE PLASTER?

Extratime has been extensively tested and it does not affect the plaster mix or finished plastered substrate in any detrimental way.

DOES THE PLASTER NEED TO BE APPLIED IN A DIFFERENT WAY?

Once Extratime is added, mix and apply the plaster using exactly the same method as normal plaster.

TRADE COMMENTS - DIY DOCTOR:

"The trade will find a massive use for this plaster retarder. Huge warehouse walls would usually have to be done in two hits as its impossible to get huge amounts of plaster laid on and floated without quite a few guys. Now a single plasterer can cover a greater area giving him plenty of time to come back and float up."
