Casting Compound BINDER
The addition of Plasta Binder adds another dimension into the quality of casts –
it makes plasta casts tougher, harder and unlike normal plaster casts it is not as brittle.
Adding Plasta Binder is like adding a liquid plastic into plaster mixes.
Whereas plasters tend to be brittle, however hard, the addition of Binder changes all
this and opens up a wide range of new applications.
Depending on the nature of the casting being carried out, we recommend
a minimum of 10% addition by weight to the gauging water before adding the
plasta powder. Higher concentration should be used for the best results –
mechanised mixing is recommended for this.
For best results use neat i.e. use binder instead of water.
The addition of this Binder also means that pigments are dispersed
a lot better, and with a higher concentrated mix you can also add proprietary filters,
such as stone dusts.
