Coverage Under normal conditions, the coverage from a 25 kg bag of UltraTech Super Stucco is approximately 5.8 sq. m. for an average thickness of 3 mm. Storage UltraTech SuperStucco should be stored in a cool, dry place. Storage life is 6 months . Note The usage of SuperStucco or any application based product is usually decided in the planning stage of a new construction. In the case of repair / rehabilitation segment, the plastering is usually removed and the walls are strengthened. Here, the SuperStucco may be directly used and painting can be done subsequently. Hence SuperStucco becomes an economical option. For best results, the correct tools for mixing and application are desirable. This will result in higher coverage along with time and manpower savings.

PACKAGING - UltraTech Super Stucco is available in 25 kg PP laminated bag.

before the application of SuperStucco. It is essential to wet the surface properly before application of SupeStucco. This ensures easy workability, higher coverage and higher bonding strength with the surface. UltraTech SuperStucco is a versatile facing material that can be applied to any flat or undulating surface and can be used as a base coat for interiors or as final finish for exteriors. UltraTech SuperStucco can be applied directly over smooth concrete surfaces without hacking and generally requires no curing after application. FEATURES SuperStucco is used as a coating for walls and ceilings. Application can be manual or sprayed by machine. It can be applied directly on a concrete surface. No hacking is required. SuperStucco can be used as a base coat on plasters for interiors that can be painted after 24 hrs. Only water needs to be added, easy to mix and application is much faster. SuperStucco has a very high tensile adhesion strength and hence higher bonding with the base material. Does not require any water curing. SuperStucco is pre-mixed and hence hassle-free, involving no cumbersome mixing of cement and sand at site. Mixing is easier and application is much faster. The application can be as thin as 2-3 mm or as thick as 8-10 mm, depending upon the requirement. UltraTech SuperStucco can be used as a crack filler for external walls, in repairing old plastered surfaces, in repair of shrinkage cracks in parapet walls, in repairs after plumbing/electrical works etc. BENEFITS Highly economical. Eliminates the lengthy, cumbersome process of transporting individual materials and mixing on site. Saves time and labour as it is pre-mixed, requiring only water to be mixed at site. Consistent and assured quality, as it is pre-mixed. No water curing required. No crack formation during drilling or plumbing work. Does not flake when in contact with moisture. Cement based, ensures better bonding with the substrate. Allows subsequent application of putty or paint just 24 hours after application. Provides better breathability for walls. Can be applied over moist surfaces. Highly durable. Excellent crack-filling properties. APPLICATION a. SURFACE PREPARATION The base surface should be pre-wetted properly prior to the application of SuperStucco. It must be cleaned thoroughly with no loose particles or dust. The surface must be structurally sound, clean and free from dirt, oil, grease, efflorescence or any other contaminant that could impair the natural bond. Surface defects such as cracks, holes or voids should be repaired prior to application. The base surface should also be in-line & leveled b. MIXING It is very important that UltraTech SuperStucco is thoroughly mixed with water before use. It is advisable to use a mechanical stirrer for uniform and thorough mixing. This also saves time, labour and ensures maximum workability. Take a clean vessel or bucket without any holes or cuts. Pour some water in it to ensure that no powder gets stuck to the bottom. Add the required quantity of UltraTech SuperStucco. Mixing Ratio - The amount of clean potable water required is approximately 25% to 30% of the weight of the powder, depending upon the thickness of the product to be applied. Water is to be incrementally added in stages, to get a smooth, uniform, workable mix. Allow ample time for initial mixing. Ensure that no powder is left unmixed at the bottom of the vessel. The SuperStucco a now ready for application. Special care must be taken in case of manual mixing to ensure thorough and uniform mix of SuperStucco. c. METHOD OF APPLICATION UltraTech SuperStucco can be applied on the surface manually with a trowel. After thoroughly mixing the SuperStucco, apply the first coat on the moistened wall surface uniformly, going upward from the bottom. This will ensure minimum wastage and a proper finish. The thickness of the coating should be 3 mm (1/8 inch). Allow the surface to dry for at least 3 hours and then apply the second coat. Leave the surface to dry completely. For higher thicknesses, a number of subsequent coats can be applied to achieve the surface in plumb. Leave the surface to dry (preferably overnight for 10-12 hours) before subsequent application . No water curing is required Prepare only the required quantity of SuperStucco and use it within 2 to 3 hours of mixing with water. Do not add extra water. Do not apply under direct sunlight or in temperatures higher than 35C. If the application is done under direct sunlight, necessary measures like covering the surface with net and water curing after two hours should be undertaken. In case of ordinary day bricks or hollow blocks where the undulation is high, plastering is essential. SuperStucco may be applied over plaster in a thickness of 2 to 4 mm, depending on the surface undulation for leveling. d. AREAS OF APPLICATION Residential buildings, commercial complexes, basements, parking areas etc. SuperStucco can be directly used on surfaces made from fly ash bricks, concrete blocks, AAC blocks etc. UltraTech SuperStucco with 2/3mm thickness is ideal for concrete casted with mivan, steel and ply shuttering. It also provides very good anti-corbonation properties. In the case of ordinary day bricks or hollow blocks, where the undulation is high, plastering is essential over which stucco may be applied up to 2 to 4 mm thickness depending on base plaster. Repairs and renovation of old concrete and plastered surfaces.
