Description

Elite MR Elite MR (Moisture Resistance) is a one coat gypsum plaster specifically designed to provide protection in wet areas like bathroom, kitchens, basement, garages, balconies, parking podium etc. It provides extra protection with low absorption of moisture in air or from surface giving excellent results in skirting area application with problems arising out of capillary action and efflorescence. It can be directly used over backgrounds like bricks, blocks and RCC and provides a smooth inert, high quality surface to internal walls and ceilings and a durable base for application of decorative finishes. Application Areas: Saint Gobain Gyproc Elite MR gypsum plaster can be applied on most internal surfaces in wet areas like bathroom, kitchens, basement, garages, balconies, parking podium etc Features & Benefits: Total water absorption <10%* Resists to Moisture from atmosphere and background surface Protects Top Coats (Paints) Protection from Mold and fungal growth Low thermal conductivity (0.25 W/m-K) as compared to Sand Cement Plaster (0.72 W/m-K) ** keeps room cooler in summer and warmer in winter; saving in energy cost Gyproc Elite MR (Moisture Resistant) is a one coat gypsum plaster specifically designed to provide protection in wet areas like bathroom, kitchens, basement, garages, balconies, parking podium etc. It provides extra protection with low absorption of moisture in air or from surface giving excellent results in skirting area application with problems arising out of capillary action and efflorescence.

The outer layer of the bag is printed with the product image, safety instruction, batch number, date of manufacturing, UOM, correspondence address and application instructions. Available Sizes 25 kg Shelf life time Approx. 3 months from the date of manufacturing when stored in dry conditions. Coverage Applied Thickness 13 mm Coverage* 22 sq-ft/25 kg bag Standard Compliance IS 2547 (Part I)-1976 for Physical and Chemical characteristics Application Storage & Handling Gyproc Elite MR (Moisture Resistant) is supplied in 25Kg bags. The dimensions of the bag ensure that a well-filled appearance is presented when filled and the bags can be stacked on a pallet in a stable and well-stacked array. Bags should be stored dry, as absorption of water shortens the setting time, causes set lumps to form in the bags and may reduce the strength of the set plasterwork. No hooks or any sharp tools should be used to carry bags from one location to another. Background Preparation Surfaces should be completely clean, reasonably dry, protected from the direct exposure from weather and suitable for the chosen specification. In addition, before plastering concrete backgrounds, ensure that any mould oil or other agents present are removed from the surface. No-fines concrete does not require wetting prior to plastering. Plaster should not be applied onto a ‘green’ background or when any free water is visible. Clean water should be applied 5-10 minutes before plaster application to control the suction. In-situ or precast concrete which are exceptionally smooth or having low suction will require pre-treatment with Gyproc Bond-It bonding agent. Mixing Gyproc Elite MR (Moisture Resistant) is pre-mixed with aggregate and only clean water needs to be added to prepare it for use. Mixing should be carried out in a clean tray or bucket. Excessive mechanical mixing shouldte: 24/05/2021 be avoided. Tools and water used in mixing must be clean. Contamination from previous mixes can shorten the setting time and in turn reduce the strength of the plaster when set. Water to plaster ratio (1 part of water: 1.25 part of plaster by weight) should be maintained to have good cohesive workable mix. Prepare plaster mix as much as required depending upon the immediate scope of work. Once the mix has begun to set, additional water is not to be added, as performance properties of plaster will get altered, Gyproc Elite MR (Mo
