But all these and many other important characteristics are inherent in materials produced by a serious proven manufacturer. This is exactly what the Vetonit trademark is. The company produces powder mixtures intended for use in construction and finishing works.
Among other types of products manufactured by Vetonit, plaster is in the highest demand among professional builders and private developers. It will be discussed further.
Features of plaster mixes
Company "Vetonit" supplies several types of plaster to the Russian market. It consists mainly of cement, and the filler is limestone, sand, microfiber and other additional components. Today, several types of products of this brand are sold on the market, designed to level walls, ceilings and create a decorative layer outside and inside the premises:
- Primer. Applicable forwork with brick and concrete surfaces.
- Gypsum plaster. White non-water resistant mass intended for manual or machine work. Used to create a surface ready to be painted.
- "Vetonit EP". Non-waterproof cement-lime based plaster. It is used when it is necessary to level a large area in one go. It is advisable to use this material only on a solid foundation, but on weak lime and cement-lime surfaces it will be ineffective.
- "Vetonit TT". The basis of the mixture is cement, so the material has water-resistant characteristics. The TT brand of the Vetonit company is a plaster that can be called universal, since it can be used to work with surfaces made of any materials.
- Decorative. Available in several types to decorate different surfaces.
Important detail: to obtain a high-quality end result, you must carefully read the instructions and follow them strictly.
Technical parameters
There are several parameters by which Vetonit products (plaster) are classified. Specifications are the most important indicator:
- Release form. The plaster mixture is produced in the form of a dry bulk substance, which is packed in paper bags. The weight depends on the size of the package and may vary: 5, 20 and 25 kg. Decorative plaster is produced not only in the form of a dry substance, but also in the form of ready-to-usesolution work. In this case, it is packed in a plastic container and has a weight of 15 kg.
- The size of the granules. The mixture is produced in powder, where fractions do not exceed 1 mm. In decorative plasters, fractions can be slightly larger - from 1 to 4 mm.
- Consumption of dry mixes "Vetonit". The plaster is applied in a layer of 1 mm. Accordingly, for 1 sq. m will need to dilute a solution of 1, 2 kg. The thicker the layer, the more dry matter will be needed to work.
- Temperature. You can work with the solution at a temperature of 5 to 35 degrees. If the packaging is marked with winter or an asterisk, the material is designed to work in winter, and it can be used at temperatures down to minus 10 degrees.
- The pot life of the diluted mixture is 2-3 hours.
- Frost resistance. Dry mix can withstand 80 to 100 defrost/freeze cycles.
- Shelf life is up to 1 year. But this is on condition that the material will be stored in its original packaging, which has retained its integrity. If the bag is torn, the mixture must be placed in a whole package and stored in a dry place.
Features
The composition depends on the type of mixture "Vetonite". T brand plaster contains organic binder adhesives. The mixture with the designation EP, in addition to cement, includes lime, and the plaster L is made on the basis of a polymer binder.
Thus, for a specific type of work, a material is produced that has the necessaryproperties.
- Color. The material has neutral colors: light gray, white, gray. Other shades are not provided, as the plaster is not a decorative coating.
- Strength. Almost all types of plasters have the same strength.
- The thickness of the layer. The maximum indicator is 3 cm, the minimum is 2 mm. The exact figure depends on the type of mixture.
- Adhesion. The plastering material has high adhesive strength.
Competitive advantages
Vetonit brand products can be used with almost all known materials: concrete, aerated concrete, foam concrete, silicate or ceramic bricks and other types of building materials. With any of them, the plaster adheres perfectly. Due to the fact that the composition is highly water resistant, it is used for plastering rooms in which during operation an increased level of humidity is foreseen: bathrooms, warehouses, indoor pools, laundries, etc.
Vetonit products are used not only for interior surfaces. Facade plaster is intended for work on surfaces on the outside of buildings, therefore, for its manufacture, only such components were used that are able to withstand any weather conditions: frost, heat, high humidity. It should be noted that during hardening the material does not shrink and provides excellent adhesion to the surface.
Features of working with material
Himselfthe process consists of two stages. The first is preparatory. First of all, the surface on which the mixture will be applied is prepared for work. It is cleaned of dirt, leveled, cutting off protruding elements and filling up irregularities. If necessary, reinforcing material can be used. If you have to work with concrete surfaces, they are pre-treated with a primer.
After that, the dry mass is mixed with water, strictly following the instructions: use water at room temperature, mix until a homogeneous consistency is obtained, leave for 10-15 minutes, then repeat mixing and you can start plastering the surfaces. Violation of proportions is fraught with the fact that the material will not acquire the characteristics specified for it, especially if Vetonit gypsum plaster is used, which is more sensitive. If you prepare incorrectly, you can get a result that differs from what you expected.
The treated surface, protected from moisture and winds, is left for 48 hours, after which they proceed to the next stage of work - re-applying plaster or decorative finish.
Cost: how much will it cost to buy?
The most important thing that fans of Vetonit products are usually interested in is the price. The cost depends on the type of material you are interested in. For example, a dry mixture of the TT brand costs about 360 rubles for a 25 kg bag, and TTT brand material will cost 370 rubles for a 20 kg bag. If you are interested in facade mixture min 1.5 Z from Vetonit,its price will be higher - about 640 rubles for 25 kg.
