Gypsolite Plaster is manufactured to be trowel applied as a basecoat over gypsum or metal lath. It is a basecoat plaster for finish plasters such as Gold Bond Kal-Kote Smooth Finish, Gold Bond Kal-Kote Texture Finish, Gold Bond Uni-Kal Veneer Plaster, Gold Bond X-KALibur Veneer Plaster, and Job gauged lime putty.
- Gypsolite weighs less than half as much as sanded gypsum plaster
- The lower weight reduces the dead-load on framing
- Gypsolite provides a high insulating value, about 3-1/2 times the insulating value of sanded plaster
- Gypsolite has excellent fire-resistive qualities and generally provides fire ratings higher than sanded plaster
- Uniform Strength and Hardness is assured through exact proportioning and thorough mixing of graded perlite and gypsum plaster at the mill
