Overview
KingPlast DC100 is a polymer modified cement decorative wall finishing stucco plaster applied in 2 – 3 mm thickness. KingPlast DC100 is supplied as a ready to use blend of dry powders which requires only the site addition of clean water to produce a consistent cementitious mortar.
Where to use
KingPlast DC100 is designed as a decorative wall finishing plaster to be applied in 2 – 3 mm thickness on rendering and concrete walls to produce an artistic textured wall finish.
Why use it
- Shrinkage controlled polymer modified plaster.
- No independent primer necessary.
- Easy to apply, single component, requires only addition of water.
- Curing not generally required.
- Excellent bond to the substrate.
- Available in many colors.
Technical properties
Values @ 25°C
The following results were obtained at a water : powder ratio of 0.2 by weight.
| Colour | Variable |

| Fresh wet density | 1.90 ± 0.1 gm/ cm³ |
| Working time | ≈ 1.5 – 2 hrs |

| Minimum application temperature | 5°C |
| Maximum aggregate size | 1 mm |
5.0 – 5.5 liters 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 for 3 minutes until uniform consistency is obtained.
Water addition may vary slightly according to both the ambient temperature and the desired consistency of the mix, but it should not exceed 5.5 liter.
How to use
Surface preparation
All substrates must be sound and clean and all contaminants must be removed prior to the application of KingPlast DC100.
Priming
Normally no primer is required for the application of KingPlast DC100, however, areas to be plastered should be soaked with clean water before applying the plaster. Where increased bonding is required, or where plastering is to be applied on smooth fare faced surfaces.
Two priming methods are recommended:
- Using Acrylic Primer as KingBond SBR and to apply the plaster while the primer is still tacky (20 - 40 minutes depending on ambient temperature).
- Using a dash slurry coat which will enhance dramatically the bond of plaster with the smooth substrate. For more information of the dash slurry coat, KINGKRETE Technical Department can be consulted.
Mixing
To ensure proper mixing, a mechanically powered mixer or drill fitted with suitable paddle should be used.
Application
KingPlast DC100 should be applied by steel trowel. Apply the mixed KingPlast DC100 to the prepared substrate, up to 10 mm thickness. It should be applied with the minimum of working and be allowed to partly set before finally trowelling to a smooth finish.
If a very smooth finish is required, a small amount of water may be flicked on to the surface to the KingPlast DC100 with a paint brush prior to final trowelling.
Curing
As KingPlast DC100 is a cementitious based material, it should be cured in a similar manner to cement base materials.
Soak the applied surfaces with water 2 - 3 times a day after setting.
For colored decorative finish, soaking with clean water must be done uniformly to all the applied area. Then it is recommended to use a water repellent material like KingCoat WR. This procedure is important to prevent the efflorescence effect.
Cleaning
All tools shall be cleaned immediately after application using fresh water. Hardened materials must be cleaned mechanically.
