PolyCryl® Plaster Polymer - Boosts Flexural Strength & Scratch Resistance

PolyCryl® Plaster Polymer is a high-performance water-based, non-flammable acrylic liquid additive, designed to boost the flexural strength of casting plasters, making them both water-resistant and scratch-resistant. This is perfect for both casting and laminating applications and ideal for casts that are often handled or are fitted in high-traffic areas. It is best used with alpha plasters. We have carried out tests with excellent results, specifically with Crystacal R Plaster at a 2.5:1 plaster-to-polymer mix ratio. With a demould time of 50 - 60 minutes, PolyCryl® makes production efficient without compromising quality. It's quick and easy to use. Mix mechanically using a battery drill and mixing blade for consistent, lump-free results. PolyCryl®is also an excellent eco-friendly alternative to polyester resin for mould jackets; it delivers superior durability while reducing environmental impact. Applications: Decorative casts and mouldings High-impact laminated panels Thin and lightweight wall panels Sculptural work Coating for polystyrene and expanded foams Key Benefits: Significantly improves the durability of Crystacal R Plaster High acrylic content reduces brittleness, chipping & cracking Boosts flexural strength for tougher, longer-lasting pieces Enhances scratch resistance for a smoother finish Demould time: 50 - 60 minutes Can be cast in thin or thick sections Excellent detail reproduction Excellent weather and water resistance Safe and easy to use, water-based, non-flammable, and not classified as toxic or carcinogenic. Best stored in an airtight container, away from frost and direct sunlight.
