Uni-Kal
®
/X-Kalibur
®
Uni-Kal and X-KALibur are single
component veneer plasters for
application over Gold Bond tapered
edge 1/2" Regular or 5/8" Fire-
Shield Kal-Kore, or as a finish
coat over Kal-Kote base. When
applied in a thin coat 3/32" thick
and troweled to a smooth finish,
they provide a durable, abrasion-
resistant surface for further
decoration. X-KALibur has a
longer extended working time.
Uni-Kal and X-KALibur may be
worked to a variety of textured
finishes.
Uni-Kal and X-KALibur applied not
exceeding 1/16" may be used as
a finish coat over a 3/32" coat of
Kal-Kote Base Plaster for a total
minimum thickness of 1/8".
Strength of Uni-Kal and X-KALibur
provides a surface resistant to
abrasion, cracking and nail-pops.
Fire Resistance
Fire ratings equivalent to those of
drywall systems can be obtained by
applying the corresponding Kal-Kore
type and thickness over the same
framing member size and spacing
with the same fasteners and 3/32"
of Uni-Kal or X-KALibur.
Specification Reference
ASTM Designation C 587.
Bag Weight
50 lbs. (22.7 kg)
Coverage (est.)*
3/32" on Kal-Kore Base, 600-665
sq. yds. per ton (135-150 sq. ft.
per bag). One coat to level over
masonry, 300-350 sq. yds. per ton
(70-80 sq. ft. per bag).
*Coverage estimates over conventional
plasters are approximately the same as
over Kal-Kore Base Board for conventional
plasters.
Kal-Kote
®
Base Plaster
Kal-Kote Base Plaster is a specially
designed high strength basecoat
plaster for application 1/16"
minimum thickness over Kal-Kore,
masonry or monolithic concrete
that has been treated with a
bonding agent.
Strength of Kal-Kote Base is sub-
stantially greater than that exhibited
by typical sanded basecoat plaster.
Fire Resistance
Fire ratings equivalent to those of
drywall systems can be obtained
by applying the corresponding
Kal-Kore type and thickness over
the same framing member size and
spacing, with the same fasteners.
The total plaster thickness should
be a minimum of 1/8". The minimum
1/8" thickness is achieved by
applying a finish not exceeding
1/16" over 3/32" of Kal-Kote
Base Plaster.
Specification Reference
ASTM Designation C 587.
Bag Weight
50 lbs. (22.7 kg)
Coverage (est.)
1/16" on Kal-Kore Base, 425-475
sq. yds. per ton (93-106 sq. ft.
per bag). One coat to level over
masonry, 225-275 sq. yds. per ton
(50-63 sq. ft. per bag).
Kal-Kote
®
Smooth Finish
Kal-Kote Smooth Finish is designed
to provide a white smooth trowel
finish using conventional plastering
techniques. Apply not exceeding
1/16" over Kal-Kote Base.
Requires the addition of water
only. It may also be used as a finish
for conventional basecoat plasters.
Small amounts of commercial
retarder may be cautiously used to
slow the setting time when used
over conventional basecoat plasters.
Bag Weight
50 lbs. (22.7 kg)
Coverage (est.)*
1/16" coat troweled on Kal-Kote
Base Plaster, 650-700 sq. yds. per
ton (145-160 sq. ft. per bag).
Kal-Kote
®
Texture Finish
Kal-Kote Texture Finish is designed
to provide a variety of decorative
surfaces using common plastering
techniques. Applied as a 1/16"
finish coat over Kal-Kote Base. It
requires the addition of water only.
Bag Weight
50 lbs. (22.7 kg)
Coverage (est.)*
1/16" coat troweled on Kal-Kote
Base Plaster, 650-700 sq. yds. per
ton (145-160 sq. ft. per bag).
