Insulaster is a high-performance insulation plaster designed to improve thermal efficiency and surface durability in residential and commercial construction projects. The product helps reduce heat transfer while enhancing surface protection and long-term performance under varying environmental conditions. Its advanced formulation supports smooth application and reliable adhesion to masonry and concrete substrates. Insulaster is suitable for walls, ceilings, and insulated surface applications where improved thermal insulation and durable finishing performance are required.

Insulaster is suitable for walls, ceilings, and insulated surface applications where improved thermal insulation and durable finishing performance are required.
Insulaster is a ready to use floor screed and plaster material designed to provide insulation and a lightweight screed solution for sunk areas where a lot of weight cannot be placed over the concrete slab. It Provides thermal fire and acoustic insulation together. Insulaster can be applied to both interior and exterior surfaces of old and new buildings allowing them to breathe. Insulaster is ideal for the following places:
Commercial buildings.
Residential buildings.
Public buildings.
Industrial buildings.
Institutional buildings.
Fire escape zones and equipment rooms
ADVANTAGES
Long lasting.
Easy application.
Protection from thermal shocks.
Saves energy.
Natural and harmless to environment.
Ready to use.
Fire Resistant (Fire Resistance property Mentioned in technical Table)
Provides superior sound proofing.
Does not allow heat transfer thus not affected by hot or cold temperatures.
Allows the building to breath naturally.
Does not have emission of greenhouse gases.
SURFACE PREPARATION
For hot climatic conditions, the surface may be dampened with potable water. All loose particles and oil shall be cleaned off the surface prior to application. It is recommended to have a proper cementitious waterproofing system implemented over a new RCC surface to make it watertight (For Example: Water Guard 491 From Ressichem).
Note: Over RCC and smooth concrete surfaces, a base coat of Ressi BRC 7000 may be used if required.
PRODUCT PREPARATION
Since Insulaster can be applied both as a floor screed and a plaster, the water demands for both the applications will vary. Depending on the ambient temperature of the applications, the water demand may also be adjusted to accommodate working times of the materials. Please refer to the mixing ratios in the technical table. it is recommended to prepare an onsite trial to determine the optimum water ratio for the application requirement. The mortar powder and light weight aggregate should be added over the water to avoid settlement of the material at the bottom of the mixing container. The mixing container should be uncontaminated, non-corrosive and clean using only potable water. It is recommended to use an automatic drill machine mixer for the mixing of Insulaster with water.
APPLICATION
With Proper surface preparation, conventional plastering and screeding techniques can be used for its application. It is essential to have proper levelling dabs to determine the thickness of the materials both on walls and the floor surface. The ideal surface for the application of Insulaster is RCC Surface and it is recommended to have a prepared masonry or concrete surface ready to plaster for the application of Insulaster. All loose particles such as oil grease and any other particles that may cause bonding issues need to be cleaned off the surface prior to the application of Insulaster. It is also recommended to dampen the surface if the ambient temperature is exceeding 35°C and the application surface feels heated.
CURING
No curing required in General, however if temperatures exceed 35°C it is recommended to mist cure for 3 days once the material has initially hardened after 48 Hours.
SHELF LIFE
Expiration of Insulaster is 12 Months after production under dry and sheltered conditions. High levels of humidity and moisture may reduce shelf life.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Insulaster is regarded as non-hazardous for transportation. Do not re use bags and containers and dispose them off as per local rules and regulations. Gloves and suitable masks can be worn during application.
