The benefits of A.Shak’s PlasterKey in the building industry

When preparing a wall for plaster, it is important to provide the plaster with a way of adhering to the surface. A common method of this is to chip the surface to increase surface area, allowing the plaster to ‘key’ onto the surface.

A.Shak’s universal water-based bonding agent, PlasterKey, is an easy and effective alternative to this method – trusted by the DIY and construction industries for decades.

Over those years, A.Shak has strived to provide the best quality products. It is for this reason that PlasterKey has developed its reputation as the market leader in the plaster bonding agent category. We continuously strive to ensure only the best goes to market.

Mix PlasterKey with 2 parts river sand and 1 part cement to create a scratch coat that you can apply with a block brush or trowel. Wait until the scratch coat is properly dry and then apply the plaster as per normal.

PlasterKey works with cement and gypsum plaster. In the case of gypsum-based plaster, simply apply the PlasterKey to the surface with a brush and then plaster straight onto the wet PlasterKey.

PlasterKey is available in 210L, 25L, 10L and 5L containers, with each litre covering ± 10 square metres.
