Acoustement Plaster 40

Pyrok Acoustement Plaster 40 is a 40 PCF (air-dried density) gypsum plaster/exfoliated vermiculite spray-applied formulation 100% free from asbestos, mineral fiber polystyrene and cellulose.

Pyrok Acoustement Plaster 40 is highly abuse resistant (impact, abrasion) and allows substrates to breathe, and can be readily cleaned by a variety of methods.

Pyrok Acoustement Plaster 40 can be used as a decorative surfacing material, an acoustically attenuating surfacing material or as a combination of these qualities even in conjunction as a fireproofing material. This material is recommended for interior applications where superior abuse resistance is required.

Typically, Pyrok Acoustement Plaster 40 is specified for use in hotel lobbies, atriums, gymnasiums, manufacturing facilities, contact wall areas, and any other area requiring high abuse resistance and sound absorption qualities.

It can also be used on interior surfaces of walkways, hallways and rooms where a purely decorative finish is desired.

Pyrok Acoustement Plaster 40 may also be used on suspended ceilings as a combination acoustical finish and decorative material depending on the structural configuration and building use.

Custom integral coloration is available within the limits of iron oxide pigmentation.
