Ezyplast
Acrylic admixture and bonding agent for plaster mix and repairs
An acrylic solution that does two jobs — brush it on as a bonding slurry so new plaster grips old concrete, or mix it into the plaster itself to stop it shrinking and cracking.
Use it for
- Bonding new concrete and plaster to old
- Eliminating the need to scarify or hack the surface
- As a plaster coat admixture for stronger, less brittle render
- Interior and exterior work
-
Skim Coat
Polymer-modified cement for smooth surface preparation
The finishing plaster that takes a rough wall to a paintable surface — smooth-spreading, sands easily, and ready for paint 24 hours later.
Use it for
- Levelling irregularities on interior and exterior walls
- Filling pinholes and hairline cracks before painting
- Patching and repairing concrete walls and ceilings
- As a replacement for crack-prone pure cement plastering
-
FiberCon
Polypropylene fibre for concrete crack prevention
Monofilament polypropylene fibre dispersed through the mix — it holds concrete together through its weakest 24 to 72 hours, when plastic shrinkage cracks form.
Use it for
- Controlling plastic shrinkage in fresh concrete
- Preventing micro-cracks as concrete cures
- Binding cement and sand to stop the mix segregating
- Adding to the final layer of mortar in plastering
-
Gypsum Compound
Base preparing material for plasterboard jointing and repair
The jointing compound for plasterboard — fills the joints, takes the tape, sands back easily, and does not go powdery on you.
Use it for
- Filling joints between concrete, fibre cement board, and gypsum board
- Jointing and repairing plasterboard
- Interior use only
- Skimming to a smooth finish before paint
-
Rhino Skim Coat
Fine white finish for thin plastering and surface preparation
Rhino is the value skim coat — the same job as the Betonit range, under its own brand, for projects where cost per square metre is the deciding factor.
Use it for
- Levelling interior and exterior walls before painting
- Filling pinholes and hairline cracks
- Thin plastering to a smooth white finish
- Volume work where budget is the constraint
-
Hydraux Premium F125
Water-reducing superplasticizer for high-flow concrete
A high-range water reducer that makes concrete flow into the form instead of having to be worked in — fewer honeycombs, fewer hollow spaces, and strength gains rather than losses.
Use it for
- Beams, columns, and precast concrete with congested reinforcement
- Any pour where honeycombing is a risk
- Reducing water content without losing workability
- Concrete that must flow into complex formwork
-
Render Mix
Ready-to-use thick plastering for interior and exterior walls
A thick plaster you mix with water and apply straight onto concrete — it corrects level irregularities and fills bubbles, pinholes, and defects up to 15 mm deep.
Use it for
- Correcting level irregularities in concrete walls
- Filling bubbles, pinholes, and surface defects up to 15 mm
- Rough plastering ahead of skim coat and paint
- Interior and exterior surfaces
-
Protech
Damp-proof plastering mortar with a smooth white finish
A dry-mixed plastering mortar that resists rain and water penetration far better than ordinary plaster, and sands to a superfine white finish ready for paint in 24 hours.
Use it for
- Exterior walls exposed to heavy rain
- Interior walls where a bright white base is wanted
- Levelling imperfections up to 2 mm
- Direct application over any plastered surface, no primer needed
-
Index Gray
Damp-proof plastering mortar with a smooth, gray industrial finish
The same damp-proof plastering mortar as Protech White, finished in gray — for the smooth industrial look, inside or out, without a coat of paint over it.
Use it for
- Exterior walls where an exposed gray finish is wanted
- Interior industrial and loft-style finishes
- Levelling imperfections up to 2 mm
- Walls exposed to heavy rain
