Overview
KingPlast CE80E is a polymer modified, ready mixed cementitious decorative thin coat render available in many different colours. KingPlast CE80E is composed of a blend of white cement, calcium carbonate, limestone, dry powders, selected polymers and fibers which when mixed with water produces a thixotropic creamy mortar suitable for hand or spray machine for either smooth or textured finish.
Where to use
Internal decorative render for all common types of substrates. When applied by hand, it results in a smooth surface, or by spray machine for a textured finish.
Why use it
- Shrinkage controlled polymer modified cementitious plaster.
- Easy to apply, one component, requires only addition of water.
- Ideal as an alternative for paint on walls and ceiling in areas with little activity.
- Low absorption to water.
- Thixotropic properties allowing extra high build, for use in vertical and overhead applications.
- Can be applied either by trowelling or spray methods.
- Available in wide range of colours.

How to use
Substrate preparation
Substrate must be clean and free from oil, grease, dust and laitance.
Priming
Normally no primer is required for the application of KingPlast CE80E, however, areas to be plastered should be soaked with clean water before applying the plaster, except for gypsum and plaster boards.
Mixing
To ensure proper mixing, a mechanically powered mixer or drill fitted with suitable paddle should be used.
10 - 12 litres of clean water should be added to clean container. The powder is then added slowly to the water while mixing continuously with low speed mixer/drill (400 - 600 rpm).
Mixing time should be continued until uniform consistency is obtained. Leave the mix for 5 minutes and stir again.
PLACING AND FINISHING
The suitable thickness of application is up to 2 mm per coat using stainless steel spatula. If higher thickness is required another layer should be applied after the first layer has initially set (3 - 4 hours) using wet on wet technique. At higher applied thicknesses, small hair cracks may appear.
KingPlast CE80E is applied by trowel or hopper spray gun. The mixed mortar should be applied using firm pressure to fully compact the mortar and ensure good adhesion to the substrate.
Cleaning
All tools should be cleaned immediately after use with fresh clean water. Hardened materials should be cleaned mechanically.
