Water Repellent Plaster: The Revolution of the Plaster Industry
In general, professionals who work with plaster have always faced a major problem: how to preserve gypsum from the action of water.
After all, we all know that gypsum, when in contact with water after curing, undergoes various damages, often irreparable, requiring the replacement of large affected areas.
Not to mention the immense number of times your materials are damaged by poor packaging on the construction site, and are easily exposed to rain or accidents caused by falling water in your inventory.
If you don't work with water-repellent plaster, you most likely know what that means and you are part of this group of people who recognize the harm that water can cause to your production, don't you?
Water action: the villain that haunts those who work with plaster.
Obviously, this directly affects not only the final end of the process, but it is a situation that begins in its first stage, in the scale production industries of gypsum blocks, gypsum boards, drywall sheets, and dozens of other plaster artifacts.
Whether you are a large entrepreneur in the plaster industry or a manufacturer of small, medium or large plaster artifacts, you understand very well that any type of exposure to water can bring great losses to your business.
Why doesn't what already exists work?
You must be thinking about why the solutions that already exist don't work.
There are several solutions for the protection of plaster pieces against the incidence of water, such as, acrylic sealants, special paints for plaster and water-repellent silicones.
These solutions, although they protect superficially, will not prevent internal parts, which do not have protection, from suffering over the years with minimal exposure to moisture.
What is the best solution to protect plaster?
There is not just one product for the solution of all building waterproofing situations.
The issue is not to replace the current solutions of water-repellent silicones, acrylic sealants or special plaster paints for a product that will water the plaster part internally.
Current solutions serve as an initial water barrier for the plaster part or coating.
Now, how to make the interior also resistant to this humidity?

What do I gain by using two products instead of one?
In a word? Durability.
The issue of plaster, currently, not withstanding exposure to moisture prevents its use in new applications.
Applications where nowadays, only cement-based mortars are used, but with the correct additive, it could be replaced by gypsum-based mortars.
But, have you ever considered if you had a product capable of being incorporated into the plaster and that would protect it from the action of moisture?
Until yesterday, this problem was part of the daily lives of all professionals who operate a gigantic market within civil construction.
But now that's part of the past.
Recently, a new product entered the market with great force, revolutionizing the lives of those who work with plaster.
If you haven't heard of the Blok Gesso, it's best to get up to speed and start moving quickly because this product has added great value to those who already use it, which has considerably increased their sales.
After all, what is BlokGesso?
Miracles don't show up every day. But for those who are professionals who learn to make the correct use of the application of this product, they know the power they have in their hands.
BlokGesso is a bicomponent compound (consisting of a Part A and a Part B) that, when properly mixed with gypsum powder, easily repels the action of water.
Why try to choose between the best income and the greatest savings, when you can have both! We developed this water repellent calculator for plaster, so you can prove how it is possible to have both.

What does your customer get out of this?
It's easy. Ask just three questions:
Would you buy a plaster that is at risk of irreparable damage or a water resistant plaster?
Would you be willing to pay an imperceptible amount more for this benefit?
Would you buy a high durability product again, or would you be willing to use lower quality plaster?
Surely your customer will be convinced that it is a higher quality, more durable and more reliable product.

To make life even easier for those who work with plaster, Blok, manufacturing company, set up on its website (www.blok.com.br) a calculator that eliminates the possibility of error when preparing the plaster.

That's not enough, the packages have lids with different colors - orange for Part A and gray for Part B - which reduces the risk of confusion during preparation.
Phew! So much information. So I'm going to summarize everything below.
Until today, the plaster market experienced a reality in which plaster was limited to use in places without exposure to humidity.
For places with the possibility of some type of exposure to water, products such as silicones water repellants, acrylic resins, preparatory base for plaster and special paints for plaster. In order to reduce the risks of water coming into contact with the material.
Even with these types of protection, the inner part of the plaster was still sensitive to minimal exposure to moisture.
So if I protect the plaster internally, don't I need to use anything else? Quite the contrary, by making the plaster resistant to moisture internally and also protecting it on the outside, we will be able to have something that was never had before in plaster exposed to moisture, durability.
But how to water the plaster internally? Blok recently launched the Blok Gesso, the only water-repellent for plaster on the market to be mixed during the preparation of plaster mortar.
BlokGesso can be used to manufacture parts such as a hydro gypsum block, GRGH block, drywall sheets, water-repellent 3d plaster, water-repellent gypsum board, water-repellent plasterboard, water-repellent gypsum block and smooth plaster for finishing.
