Dryze Mix RC (Ready Coat)
Dryze Mix RC is a pre-mixed cement-based plaster designed for both internal and external wall plastering applications. It eliminates the need for on-site mixing of raw materials like sand and cement, providing a convenient and consistent solution for smooth and durable wall finishes. The ready-mix formulation ensures uniform quality, faster application, and better performance than traditional plastering methods, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects.
- Key Features of Dryze Mix RC:
- Typical Applications of Dryze Mix RC:
- Key Benefits of Dryze Mix RC:
- Mixing and Application:
- Pre-Mixed Formula:
- Dryze Mix RC comes in a pre-mixed form, meaning it contains all the necessary ingredients (cement, graded sand, and polymers) in precise proportions.
- This saves time and labor associated with on-site mixing of sand and cement, providing consistent quality throughout the project.
- High Workability:
- The plaster has excellent workability and a smooth consistency, making it easy to apply with minimal effort. This ensures faster application and a more uniform finish on walls.
- Superior Bonding Strength:
- Dryze Mix RC is formulated to have excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates, including brickwork, concrete blocks, AAC blocks, and RCC surfaces.
- Its strong bonding reduces the chances of plaster debonding or cracking over time.
- Crack-Resistant:
- The special polymers in the mix enhance the plaster’s flexibility and durability, preventing shrinkage cracks that can often occur with traditional sand-cement plaster.
- Water-Resistant:
- The product offers superior water resistance, which helps protect walls from moisture damage, making it ideal for both internal and external applications, especially in regions with high humidity or areas exposed to rain.
- Durability:
- Dryze Mix RC offers a long-lasting, durable finish that can withstand varying weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor plastering as well as indoor projects.
- It is also resistant to shrinkage and efflorescence, ensuring that the plaster remains intact and aesthetically pleasing over time.
- Uniform Thickness:
- The pre-mixed formulation ensures even distribution of materials, which helps in achieving uniform thickness across the surface. This contributes to a smooth and consistent finish with minimal reworking.
- Time and Labor Efficiency:
- Using Dryze Mix RC eliminates the need for raw material procurement, storage, and mixing, speeding up the plastering process and reducing the chances of errors or inconsistencies in the mix.
- It also reduces wastage and clean-up time compared to traditional plastering methods.
- Internal Wall Plastering:
- Ideal for plastering internal walls of residential buildings, offices, commercial spaces, and industrial buildings.
- Provides a smooth, even surface suitable for further finishing processes like painting or wallpapering.
- External Wall Plastering:
- Can be used for external walls in homes, commercial buildings, and other structures. Its water resistance and durability ensure that external walls remain well-protected from environmental factors like rain, wind, and temperature changes.
- Brick, Block, and RCC Surfaces:
- Suitable for plastering on a wide range of substrates, including brick masonry, concrete blocks, AAC blocks, and RCC structures.
- Its strong bonding ensures the plaster adheres well, even to smooth surfaces.
- Repair Work:
- Dryze Mix RC can be used for repair and renovation work, providing a seamless finish when patching damaged plaster or working on uneven surfaces.
- Consistent Quality: The pre-mixed nature of the product ensures uniform quality across the entire project, eliminating the risk of poor mixing and quality issues often seen in on-site mixing.
- Crack Resistance: The product’s composition helps prevent cracks, even in areas prone to temperature changes or minor structural movements.
- Water Resistance: Ideal for external use, Dryze Mix RC protects walls from water damage and helps maintain the integrity of the structure.
- Time-Saving: Speeds up the plastering process by reducing preparation time, labor, and wastage, leading to faster project completion.
- Eco-Friendly: It reduces wastage of raw materials and avoids the dust pollution typically associated with traditional plaster mixing.
- Mixing:
- The plaster is mixed with clean water as per the manufacturer’s recommended water-to-plaster ratio. The mixing should be done using a mechanical mixer to achieve a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Application:
- The plaster is applied directly to the prepared substrate using a trowel. It should be applied in layers to achieve the desired thickness (usually 10-12 mm for internal walls and 12-15 mm for external walls).
- Proper surface preparation (cleaning and wetting the surface) is essential to ensure strong adhesion.
- Curing:
- After application, the plaster should be cured with water for a few days (usually 5-7 days) to ensure it sets properly and achieves maximum strength.
Limitations:
- Not Suitable for Structural Repairs Dryze Mix RC is not designed for load-bearing or structural repairs; it is primarily used as a finishing plaster.
- Surface Preparation Required: The substrate must be properly cleaned and prepared before application to ensure a strong bond and avoid detachment over time.
Dryze Mix RC is a reliable, high-quality, pre-mixed plaster that offers consistency, durability, and ease of use. It simplifies the plastering process by eliminating the need for on-site mixing, delivering a strong, crack-resistant, and water-resistant finish for both internal and external walls. Suitable for a variety of surfaces, it’s ideal for new construction as well as renovation projects, ensuring long-lasting protection and a smooth, aesthetically pleasing finish.
