Plaster Fast-Set is a white, powdered, non-chloride set accelerator. It is ideal as a replacement for accelerators containing calcium chloride, which weakens plaster, causes corrosion and interferes with color.

Plaster Fast-Set safely speeds up the time and also greatly enhances plaster spreadability. It contains no nitrates and is therefore not hazardous to workers, and requires no environmental reporting.

One 5 lb. bag of Plaster Fast-Set will reduce set times by up to three hours.

1. Determine the amount of Plaster Fast-Set required. See Recommended Dosage Rate.
2. Prepare pool plaster mix using all ingredients, including water. Begin mechanical mixing before adding Plaster Fast-Set.
3. Remove the protective outer bag, place the inner water-soluble bag and contents in the plaster mix.
4. Continue mixing for at least 5 minutes for complete dispersion of the Plaster Fast-Set throughout the mix.

Dosage rate varies depending on temperature and the amount of acceleration desired. Increased dosages provide higher acceleration rates.

  • When blending plaster at the job site: Use one 1 bag per 4 bags of cement for temperatures above 45ºF. For temperatures below 45ºF, use 2-3 bags.
  • When using pre-blended plaster: Add one 10-oz. bag for every 1000 lbs. of plaster.
  • As an additive in the manufacture of dry plaster blends: Add at a rate of 1-3% by weight of cement.

5 lb./2.27 kg water soluble bag, 8 bags per case (item #98455)
50 lb. paper bags available for addition to pre-packaged dry mixes (item #98448)
50 lb. bucket (item #98448)

Plaster Fast-Set is compatible with all concrete admixtures. When used with other admixtures, each one must be dispensed separately into the mix.
