Compositions of decorative plasters

Compositions of decorative plasters depend on a type of base and binding agents. In many cases, lime, cement, and sand are used as a base.

Decorative plasters may contain: wood fibers, various granules, stone chips, etc. Some plasters also contain modifiers that improve their performance.

The answer to the question whether a decorative plaster is harmful depends on the type of binder used in it. Mineral mixtures use environmentally friendly cement. Liquid glass used in silicate compositions also has no health hazard. Acrylic plaster base is made of synthetic polymer. However, it is also considered safe and is often used for interior wall decorations. Silicone compounds, with all their superior technical characteristics, are considered less harmless, so they are mainly used for outdoor finishes.
