Gypsum hand plaster

Gypsum based hand plasters are used for smaller areas as well as during renovation. They are stirred either by hand or with a machine and applied manually, usually with a trowel. Gypsum based hand or bonding plasters are less delayed than gypsum based machine plasters.

To keep shrinkage to a minimum, unmodified Tylose® MC types are recommended. Tylose® prevents excessive absorption of water into the substrate or the ceramic covering, giving enough time for rubbing and finishing.

Building materials

» More information

Tylose® is an essential component in many building materials. It is mainly responsible for water retention, consistency and adhesion. The homogeneity, stability and workability of mortars are improved by the use of Tylose®. Using Tylose® enables the manufacturing of modern and efficient construction materials, such as machine plasters and thin bed adhesives.
