APPLICATION

ClayBeton decorative plaster is designed for interior decorative wall finishes in residential or commercial spaces. The product is vapor-permeable and absorbs liquids, so it should be used only in dry rooms where there is no direct contact with water, dirt, or grease.
To improve performance characteristics, it is essential to apply an additional coat of MR. CLAY Varnish No. 1.

FEATURES

• Long working time of the mixed material: ~2–3 hours

• Fast application process

• Beautiful decorative effects such as concrete, travertine stone, and more are achieved with just one layer

• 100% vapor-permeable

• Contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

• Non-combustible – fire resistance class A1

• The mixture is alkaline (pH 11.47) – protective gloves must be worn during application

COMPOSITION

A dry mixture of white clay, marble, cement, and technological additives. The components are non-hazardous. Mix with water before use.

APPLICATION SYSTEM

The decorative ClayBeton plaster is applied in a single layer, 4–8 mm thick, and then a water-sprayed polyester sheet is immediately placed onto the wet surface. The surface is shaped through the polyester sheet and left to harden for 12–24 hours. After removing the polyester sheet, the surface should be allowed to dry and then coated with Mr. Clay Varnish No. 1.

SUITABLE SUBSTRATES

• Classic / finishing clay plaster

• Gypsum / cement / lime plaster

• Plasterboard panels

• Gypsum fiber boards

• Cement, wood chip, and other construction boards intended for plastering or smoothing

All absorbent surfaces must be primed with a deep-penetrating primer (e.g., ARDEX P51 diluted with water 1:1) and then coated with an adhesion primer.

Non-absorbent surfaces must be primed only with an adhesion primer.

MIX PREPARATION

Pour 8–9 L of water into a container of at least 35 L capacity.
Add all the pigment (if using color) and mix thoroughly with an electric mixer.
While continuing to mix, slowly add the entire ClayBeton plaster package. Mix well and let the mixture rest covered for about 10 minutes.
Note: The wet mixture color will appear brighter than when dry.

⚠️ The mixture must be applied to walls within 2–3 hours. After that, it will harden and become unsuitable for use.

APPLICATION ON WALLS / TOOLS

ClayBeton can be applied using standard troweling tools.
For an even layer, it is recommended to start with a notched trowel (6–8 mm) and then smooth the surface with a finishing trowel.

DRYING TIME

Depending on ambient temperature, humidity, and the size of the plastered area, drying may take 12–24 hours.
Removing the polyester sheet too early may result in an improperly formed surface.
