Hack aid plast is the new way to increase speed and improve quality of plastering

Generally, it is very tedious and time consuming to apply cement plaster on smooth concrete surfaces, generally on account of poor interfacial bonding.

Before cement plastering is done, concrete slabs (soffits or ceilings), walls, columns, beams are hacked with a chisel and hammer in order to roughen their surfaces to enable the plaster to adhere to the concrete surface. However, there is no way to maintain uniformity and consistency in the number of hacks per sq. ft and this is left to the judgement of the construction worker on site.

As the number of hacks on concrete are not uniform, hacking is not a dependable methodology.

Additionally, after hacking is completed, when the first dash (chaat) coat of plaster is applied, approximately half of the first dash coat of plaster drops on the floor as it doesn’t bond completely with the concrete.

Construction workers then collect this debonded plaster, add more water to it and re-use this debonded plaster. Adding more water to this debonded plaster compromises the original water-cement ratio, significantly reduces the strength, life and quality of plaster. Hence, it is recommended to do plastering right the first time.

This makes us wonder how can we prevent plaster from debonding, increase the speed of plastering, and in turn increase the speed of the construction?

Well, no need to worry!

SUNANDA GLOBAL, one of the top manufacturers of construction chemicals in India has managed the impossible. The company has developed ‘HACK AID PLAST’ - a path-breaking product to replace the conventional methodology of hacking.

HACK AID PLAST is a unique single component liquid bonding agent for plaster that strengthens the bond between the plaster and concrete.

HACK AID PLAST is an efficient and cost-effective product that costs approximately Rs. 2.5 per sq. ft. This product is a customized solution that completely eliminates the need to hack concrete surfaces that will receive plaster.

Benefits of using Hack Aid Plast

• It ensures complete contact and bonding of plaster with concrete surfaces.
• Significantly reduces wastage and rebound loss of plaster.
• Speed of the work in plastering is significantly increased which results in significant savings in labour costs.
• Laboratory tests indicate that the force required to pull out HACK AID PLAST aided plastered surfaces is twice the force needed to pull out ordinary plaster.
• Improves the quality and service life of plaster.

DIRECTIONS OF USE:

Sunanda Global has always had a focus on easy-to-use products so that even an unskilled labourer is able to utilize the product effectively. The following methodology is to be followed while using Hack Aid Plast:

• Clean the concrete surface using a water jet to remove dirt and loose particles.
• Apply a coat of Hack Aid Plast on the entire clean moist surface directly using a spray or brush.
• Check and make sure that the surface is tacky prior to chaat (dash)coat application.
• The tacky period may differ depending on external atmospheric conditions, saturation degree of substrate etc.
• After setting of the chaat (dash) coat, plaster the surface in the usual manner
