AfriSam PlasterPro

AfriSam Plaster Pro is a single-step, pre-blended plaster solution that saves you time and money on every build while providing a spectacular finish and a waterproof barrier.

AfriSam Plaster Pro is a water, mould & mildew resistant pre-blended mix of Portland cement, sand and Kryton Krystol Mortor Admixtures (KMA™). It requires only the addition of water to create a consistent, workable plaster mix with excellent adhesion and handling properties, extended board life, and resistance to shrinkage and cracking.

How it works

AfriSam Plaster Pro is fortified with Kryton KMA™

An integral crystalline waterproofing technology provides an environmentally friendly and permanent water-resistant barrier. When combined with water, a catalytic chemical reaction with un-hydrated cement particles begins to form an insoluble crystalline structure. Over a period of weeks and months, millions of needle-like crystals grow, filling and sealing the naturally occurring microscopic pores and voids in the plaster. As a result, water is prevented movement in all directions, while water vapour may still pass, allowing the building to “breathe”. When moisture is removed as the plaster dries, the active ingredients sit dormant, will not deteriorate, and the last the lifetime of the plaster. If hairline cracks form later due to settling or shrinkage, incoming water triggers the chemical process; additional crystals begin to form and grow, filling cracks and voids, and thereby maintaining and protecting the waterproofing barrier. By blocking water penetration and migration of waterborne contaminants, metal reinforcing is protected from corrosion and mould and mildew is deprived of moisture and nutrients needed to spread.
