GYPSUM BASED MORTAR – EXCLUSIVELY FOR MACHINE PLASTERING Introducing to you the future of gypsum plastering for the Indian construction industry, today. Conventional methods of gypsum plastering are both cumbersome and lead to a high level of wastage. Our system, in which a specially modified form of Iranian gypsum mortar with the purity of 96%+ is used in conjunction with a rotor stator-based plastering machine, solves these problems significantly. The machine effortlessly sprays the gypsum-based material onto the surface, which can then be finished manually by skilled masons. The higher than usual viscous material sticks onto the desired surface, which lowers the rebound loss considerably. If employed efficiently, this system can produce results of at least double the output from the same mason with on-site wastage reduced considerably.  PARAMETERS UNIT SPECIFICATIONS       Color   White Initial Setting Time Min 8 – 10 Final Setting Time Min 16 – 18 Water Stucco Ratio % 70 – 75 Compressive Strength N/mm2 15 – 17 Flexural Strength N/mm2 5 – 6 Fineness % 200 mesh passing size > 96 CaSO4 ½ H20 % >97 Sodium Chloride % <0.01 Silica Oxide % <0.50 Calcium Carbonate % 0.08 – 0.09 Iron Oxide (Fe2o3) % <0.05 Gypsum Binder Content % 86 Adhesive Strength N/mm2 0.25 Surface Hardness N/mm2 4.30 Surface Coverage 0.6 – 0.7 sq.ft (per Kg) at 12 mm thickness Double the productivity of your existing labor force Labor is a key resource in construction, which is becoming more and more scarce as well as costly as we move forward. Add to this the fact that skilled masons for gypsum plastering are a rare commodity as the expertise required is very different from the usual method of using cement-based mortars. In such an environment, reducing reliance on labor as well as improving the productivity of the existing team becomes critical. This is where IDEALs’ machine applied gypsum plastering system comes into the picture. With the machine being able to spray in excess of 2500 sq.ft of area in a day (with 4 hours of operation which can be increased as well), a team of proficient masons can finish this area effortlessly. Also to be considered is that our material, which is modified at our own facility, comes in a pre-mixed form and needs to be just fed into the machine that takes care of mixing it with the required amount of water for spraying. Machine mixing ensures the same consistency of the material is sprayed every time and eliminates the need for manual mixing that gives inconsistent results. Along with increasing the output of masons, the need for support labor as well as additional supervisory personnel is greatly reduced which means a smaller team can achieve the same or even more output when compared with the contemporary method.  All these savings in labor will translate to a more economical solution for your plastering needs in the long run. Reduce wastage considerably Our material that is modified with the use of specific additives, sticks onto the surface much better compared to conventional Gypsum used for manual plastering. This means your masons will have more time for finishing the sprayed area. Not only does this improve the labor productivity as explained above but also reduces the chance of material falling off. Gypsum once fallen on the ground, apart from making the area messy, is practical of little use with most of it going to waste. The actual material cost is much higher as a result when considering this high level of wastage. The fact that our materials’ open & setting times can be modified further allows the worker to carefully work on the applied area and reduce wastage to the bare minimum. Why chose IDEAL DRYMIXES? THE OPERATOR How are we different from other material manufacturers?   Having extensive hands-on experience in this field, we understand the need and importance of qualified technical expertise when it comes to machine operation.

KEY POINTS ABOUT COMPANY Ready-mix plaster is prepared by blending cement, graded aggregates and additives (if any) in a controlled factory setting to ensure consistency in proportions as well as overall quality. It drastically improves on-site productivity and reduces labour dependency as many of the intermediary steps of conventional plastering are avoided all together. These steps include sieving sand, shifting lose material as well as mixing sand and cement manually which usually results in inconsistent mortar ratios. Since all the required raw materials have already been mixed in defined volumes, all one has to do is add water to our product and apply as in the case with regular mortar. All this adds up to an enhanced expected daily output of nearly 15-20% in terms of area (sq.ft)/mason which will reduce your labour costs as well as other incidental expenditures regularly incurred with conventional site mix. Not having to deal with lose material (sand and cement) reduces wastage considerably. Nearly 20% of cement by weight is blown away by wind which constitutes a significant hidden cost when mortar is prepared on site. IDEAL MANPLAST, being packed in a defined volume of 40 KG bags with an inner liner, can be used with any remaining quantity at the end of the day’s work easily stored away. Being a factory made product, blending of sand and cement is done mechanically which in turn guarantees through mixing which is not the case when done manually at site. Improper mixing leads to several issues during application such as the mortar falling of the surface regularly during application which is known as rebound loss. Even more serious is that chance of cracks developing on the plastered surface in the future is high. Therefore with a ready mix product you can be assured that both rebound loss and shrinkage cracks are greatly reduced. The sand used being of a certain grade, restricted for particle size, further enhances the benefits of using a ready mix mortar. This greatly improves workability of the mortar which would allow the masons to work with more ease and finish faster as it requires less effort to level and finish the areas where plastering is done. Sieving at site is a cumbersome and time consuming process which dampens productivity affecting both the speed of work as well as quality of the plastering being done. WHY IDEAL MANPLAST? In a market traditionally driven by manually mixed products on site, IDEAL DRYMIXES has been providing solutions to meet the growing demand for higher productivity since 2008. The Indian construction industry is in a transitory phase where more and more customers are looking for higher quality products that make site management easier. The streamlining of various supply chains and delivering a product that takes several uncertainties out of the chaotic environment found at a construction site will result in tangible long term monetary benefits as well.
