The Chief advantages of plywood over a signal board of the same thickness is the more uniform strength of the plywood, along the length and width of the plywood and grater resistance to cracking and splitting with change in moisture content. Usually synthetic resins are used for gluing, pherolic resins are usually cured in a hot press which compresses and simultaneously heats the plies between hot plates which maintain a temperature of 90 degrees C. to 140 degrees C. and a pressure of 11 to 14 kg/sq.cm. on the wood. The time of heating may be anything from 2 to 69 minutes depending upon thickness. When water glue are used , the wood absorbs so much water that the finished plywood must be dried carefully. When synthetic resins are used as adhesive finished by plywood must be exposed to an atmosphere of controlled humidity until the proper amount of moisture has been absorbed. According to I.S. 303-1975 the plywood for general purpose shall be of three grades BWR, WWR and CWR, depending upon the adhesives used for bonding and veneers, and it will be further classified into six types namely AA,AB,AC,BB,BC and CC based on the quality of the two faces, each face being of three kinds namely, A,B and C, After pressing, the finished plywood should be reconditioned to a moisture content not less than 8 percent and not more than 16 percent.

When the mixing is over the entire contents of the drum shall be discharged in one operation into a hopper or a container to avoid segregation of mortar from coarse aggregates. If the concrete is allowed to be unloaded on a platform, it shall be watertight. After day's work the mixer shall be thoroughly washed and blades cleaned otherwise mixing drum will soon become callous with harden concrete which will impair the efficiency of the mixer. Inside of the drum shall be inspected regularly; any blades which are worn out or roken should be replaced. Transporting: Concrete shall be handled from the place of mixing to the place of final deposit as rapidly as practicable by methods which will prevent the segregation or loss of any of the ingredients. If segregation occurs during transport the concrete shall be remixed before being placed. Placing : Concrete shall be placed in position and compacted before initial setting commences and when once compacted it shall not be subsequently disturbed. Method of placing shall be such as to preclude segregation. During hot or cold weather, concrete shall be transported in deep containers to reduce loss of water by evaporation during hot weather and loss of heat during cold weather. Deep containers are specified on account of their lower ratio of surface area to mass. Concrete shall not be dropped into position from a height grater than 2.0 meters. Before the concrete is actually placed in position, the insides of the forms should be inspected to ensure that the shuttering is water-tight and the surface treated with approved composition. All debris, sand, dust etc., shall be removed from shuttering before concrete is placed in position.

Beams and columns shall be vibrated using immersion vibrators as per IS: 2505 and IS:3558; thin sections like water tanks walls shall be vibrated using clamp on vibrated and shall vibrated using surface vibrators. The contractor shall at all times have in reserve sufficient vibrators of each type to guard against shut down of the work occasioned by the failure of the equipment. No concreting shall be permitted in the event of power failure. The intensity and duration of vibration shall be sufficient to ensure complete settlement and compaction without any stratification of successive layers or separation of ingredients or formation of lenience. Immersion vibrators shall be inserted vertically and not at any angle at regular intervals not more than 45 cm. Apart and withdrawn very slowly when air bubbles no longer come on the surface. It is better to vibrate at smaller intervals for shooter periods of time. To avoid trapping of air the thickness of layer of concrete to be vibrated shall not be less than 15 cm. And maximum advisable shall be 45 cm. The vibrator used to push concrete laterally in the forms of and it shall never be used nearer than 10 cm. To the form surface in order to obtain a uniform appearance. 2.18 Curing Concrete shall be carefully protected during first stage of hardening from harmful effects of excessive heat, drying winds, running down of surface water and shocks. Concrete shall be prevented from drying out at least for a period of 14 Days and thereafter the surface kept moist for another 7 day. The method of curing shall be that horizontal surfaces shall be kept covered with ponded water for a continuous period of 14 days and vertical surfaces like columns, fins etc. Shall be covered with straw, hessian etc. And kept constantly wet by water spray. More sprinkling of water on vertical surfaces shall not be allowed.

be as described under 1.0 HERITAGE PAINT 3.1 Surface Preparation First providing & laying 20 mm thick backing coat in two layers, First layer 12 mm thick in C. M. 1 : 4 & second layer 8 mm thick in C. M. 1 : 3 as directed. For this nothing shall be paid extra. Before Heritage is applied : The substrata should be completely dry and smooth, dust, dirt and other foreign matter should be thoroughly removed. In case, Heritage is to be applied over previously painted surface, scrape the paint, clear the loose matter and clean the surface thoroughly only solvent based cement primers are recommended. In case of fragile bases or dried out plaster surfaces, they much be properly reinforced before hand. Heritage base coat has to be applied before application of Heritage on these substrates. 3.3 Do not apply Heritage over : Fungus infested damp surfaces, crumbly surfaces or any other non absorbent surface such as metal, tile etc. Approximate coverage per bulk pack of 11.5 kg is 140 to 150 sqft. depending on smoothness of surface. Add bonding agent 5 liters & water 15 liters in bulk pack of dry material. Take a wide plastic through or tub. Pour the bonding agent into the through. Add part of the premeasured clean water and blend the solution fully by stirring (Retain some water). Gradually pour a bag of Heritage dry materials into the through will intermittent mixing. Consume the entire packs materials. Do not mix in parts. Use a trowel for mixing. Or do it by hand. No mechanical means of mixing is advised. Let the dough stand for a t least 20 30 minutes before application. You may add or subtract a little water retained as in (2) depending upon the climate and the condition of the substrate. Now the dough is ready for application : Avoid starting the work if extremely low temperatures are expected before the material dries, or its likely to rain. Note : The dough should be allowed to settle for at least 30 minutes after mixing. Otherwise its performance is adversely affected. 3.4 Direction for Application : Trowel the dough onto the prepared surface. Apply the dough as thinly as possible (about 0.8 to 1.2 mm average) You should be able to cover the recommended area, provided the surface is smooth. Incase of application over water proof plywood, medium density board and similar material, mildly scrape the surface by using sand paper, clean the surface and then apply the material. Rust preventive must be applied to surface which may get rusted because of other fittings. Stain preventive must be applied to plywood base etc. which may get stained like old wall surfaces. For old buildings and buildings in highly humid and heavy rainfall areas use of suitable anti fungal wash is recommended before applying heritage.

Use up the dough within three hours as otherwise it begins to harden. In case you want to extend the workability of the dough by a short period, you may cover it with a damp cloth. Retrowel lightly over the coated surface before the material dries completely to ensure that you get a smooth and compact surface. Do not coat the materials too thinly. Heritage will cure on its own in 7 days, under normal weather conditions. Contact with water should be avoided during this period. Note that the finished wall can be a little different in colour from that of the colour card. Giving Granite finish a top coat : After the flakes application has cured, sand the wall / ceiling to a smooth finish. And then apply the top coat for extra protection ensure the coating does not come in contact. Plaster and seal all cracks in the substrate. Use plaster of paris putty (for interior) and cement (for exteriors). Mix one or more full packs (consisting of flaks / granules and bonding agent at a time so that the mixing proportions do not go wrong. Check for lumps in the mixture. If lumps are found, mix thoroughly. Take the material little at a time and trowel it to the surface evenly. Apply the materials as thinly as possible (thickness 1.5 mm) taking care that void do not occur on the surface. This helps in optimal use of materials. Apply the material by means of a trowel only. Smoothen and level with trowel after the top surface is relatively dry. This ensures good spreading of the materials and compaction resulting in a regular textured texture surface. At the end of the day, complete the joint at a corner and as a straight line edge. This will ensure an even coating on continuation the next day. If there is any left over dough after application, wrap it up in a damp cloth and put it inside a polythene bag. This would extend the pot life by a few hours. However do not use the materials, if it has hardened. Please wash all tools, mixing container and your hands immediately after completion, with water. This would keep them neat and clean. Ensure that the coated area is not tampered with or exposed to rain for a minimum curing period required. Top coat should be applied only on a cured surface.. i.e. 7 days after completion of application. In case you want to remove an existing textured surface, use our Removing Agent Dilute with water and usage should be as prescribed by us.
