Details
Plastering sand crushed finer than concrete sand and screened so nothing above 2.36 mm reaches the wall. Mixed with the correct cement ratio it gives a dense, crack-resistant plaster coat that takes putty well. Use it for plaster and for block jointing mortar, not for structural concrete.
Variants
From the site engineer's deskPlaster failures usually trace back to oversize grit or high silt. Both are screening problems, and both are what this grade exists to remove.
