• Alexa Colored Plaster
Alexa Plaster is a cement-based coating, whose adhesion properties and performance and efficiency have been improved through the addition of pigments, aggregates and polymeric materials. This coating is used in the form of one or more thin layers to act as a liner and the final layer of walls and ceilings. Alexa Plaster can be sprayed on the surfaces manually or using a plaster pump. Furthermore, Alexa Plaster may be applied on all types of concrete surfaces, cement and clay blocks, autoclaved aerated concrete blocks (AAC) and cement plasters inside and outside the building.
• Preparation
Add the Alexa Plaster powder to the water gently and mix it with a mechanical or electric mixer until an even and a consistent concentration is obtained. Alexa Plaster may also be mixed by hand for minor jobs. The amount of clean water required for a bag is in accordance with the values shown in the table below. After the initial mixing, wait 10 minutes for all the additives to dissolve thoroughly, then stir the mixture again. The plaster is now ready for use.

• Environmental conditions:
Alexa Plaster is designed for use in both hot, dry and moderate climates. Consistently, the ambient temperature when applying the plaster should be above + 5 ° C.
• Conventional method of application
First, fill any existing holes, cracks, and depressions in the brick walls with a cement-based coating, such as sand and cement mortar. Next, cover and level the entire surface with Alexa Plaster. If a second layer is needed, apply it the next day using a spray.
• Curing
Because of the polymer compounds and additives, Alexa Plaster does not need to be treated with water under normal conditions. However, when exposed to extremely hot and dry conditions, the surface should be sprayed with water, preferably one day after the initial application.
• Storage
Keep bags above the ground level and away from rain. If stored in a dry place, the unopened bags may be kept for up to one year.
• Safety
All safety precautions and first-aid conditions regarding the use of cement mortars must be observed closely.
