But this is only the highest quality material. This is exactly what the “Prospectors” finishing putty is. How is it different from similar materials?
Product types
Several types of putty mixtures for finishing are produced:
- Finish Plus.
- Finish CR.
- Facade finishing.
Each of the materials has its own characteristics and advantages, as it is produced for finishing different types of surfaces. What are these differences and where is it best to use each type of finishing material? Read more about it below.
Characteristics and properties
The main requirement for finishing putty mixtures is the highest adhesion. This is necessary to eliminate the possibility of cracks and peeling of the decorative coating. Finishing putty "Prospectors" not only has a highadhesion, but also has the following properties:
- Applies well with a spatula.
- The layer is even, no tears, lumps or other defects were noticed.
- Does not drip, dries quickly.
- After drying, it retains strength and integrity.
- Eliminates any flaws on the base coat.
- Compatible with many building materials.
- It has excellent quality and hygroscopicity.
- Elastic.
- Abrasion resistant.
Other advantages of putty mixtures include the simplicity and ease of preparing the material for work, the ability to make a solution of any viscosity and density.
The weight of the bags in which the finishing putty "Prospectors" is packed is 20 kg. To dilute this amount of dry mix for work, you will need from 7.5 to 8.5 liters of water - the exact amount depends on the desired consistency of the solution. If you apply putty with a thickness of 1 cm, then 1 sq. m will take about 1 kg of material. Therefore, the bag is enough for finishing work on an area of 20 square meters. m.
Unfortunately, has this material and disadvantages. The most important of them is the need to quickly use up the mixture. If you need to finish a large area of \u200b\u200bthe base coat, you should either work with a large team or dilute a small amount of the solution, and after it has been applied, prepare the next portion, which not everyone likes, because this will take time. In addition, when working, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions, only thenyou can get a perfectly even coating.
Finish CR
Produced finishing putty "Prospectors Finishing KR" on a polymer basis. Available in packages weighing from 3 to 20 kg, so that everyone can purchase the amount of the mixture that is needed to solve a specific problem. At one time, the finished finishing putty “Prospectors” should be completely used up. The price depends on the package weight:
- A capacity of 3 kg will cost 110 rubles.
- A pack of 12 kg costs about 250 rubles
- With the weight of the bag in which the finishing putty "Prospectors" is packed, 20 kg, the price will be 350-380 rubles.
The prepared solution can be applied in one, two or more layers. But at the same time, it is permissible to apply the next layer only when the previously applied one dries completely. For 1 sq. m is consumed from 0.5 to 2.5 kg (the amount of the mixture depends on the thickness of the layer). Before starting work, be sure to read the instructions in order to avoid mistakes.
Produced two types of polymer mixtures "KR":
- Acrylic. The use of the material allows you to create smooth surfaces with a beautiful mirror effect. The material performs a dual function: protecting surfaces and decorating them at the same time.
- Latex. Used only inside buildings. Despite the fact that the material can be applied very thinly, the composition has high astringent, plastic and strength properties.
Facade finishing
The mixture has the perfect composition,designed for outdoor work, perfectly eliminates irregularities of any level of complexity. Finished surfaces withstand contrasting weather changes. The prepared solution is suitable for use for no more than three hours. The basis for the manufacture of facade-finishing products is a gypsum composition, the main characteristics of which are non-toxicity and safety. Can be combined with wood, drywall and other materials.
Main Features:
- High hardness.
- Weatherproof.
- Possibility of polishing.
- When structures shrink, they do not move away from the base.
- Has a beneficial effect on the microclimate.
- High adhesion. Moreover, the mixture fixes the finishing materials so firmly that it can be used as a mounting adhesive or as a stucco molding for decoration.
Finishing Plus
In terms of its qualities, the Starateli Plus finishing putty differs little from the KR material, but is intended for a wider range of applications - the mixture can also be used in rooms where the humidity level is quite high.
Features:
- Crack resistant.
- Ability to seal cracks up to 1 cm deep.
- Quick drying.
- Low price.
