National Gypsum Gold Bond BRAND Gypsolite Plaster - 50 lb Bag

Gold Bond® BRAND Gypsolite® is a lightweight gypsum basecoat plaster mixed at the plant with correctly sized and proportioned perlite aggregate, requiring only the addition of water on the job.

Basic Uses

• Gypsolite Plaster is manufactured to be trowel applied as a basecoat over gypsum or metal lath

It is a basecoat plaster for finish plasters such as

• Gold Bond BRAND Kal-Kote Smooth Finish
• Gold Bond BRAND Kal-Kote Texture Finish
• Gold Bond BRAND Uni-Kal
• Gold Bond BRAND X-KALibur
• Job gauged lime putty

Advantages

• Uniform Strength and Hardness. Uniformity is assured through exact proportioning and thorough mixing of graded perlite and gypsum plaster at the mill. Gypsolite provides a uniform base for the finish coat
• Lightweight. Gypsolite weighs less than half as much as sanded gypsum plaster, thus reducing the dead-load on framing
• High Insulating Value. With a "k" factor of 1.5, Gypsolite provides about 3 1/2 times the insulating value of sanded plaster
• Fire Resistance. Gypsolite has excellent fire-resistive qualities and generally provides fire ratings higher than sanded plaster
