SnowCast Polymer Gypsum (Lastryko) vs. HandiCast Polymer Gypsum (65 MPa): Your Project's Choice

Polymeric gypsum Lastryko vs. 65 MPa polymeric gypsum: Choosing your Project

Polymeric gypsum is a material with unlimited possibilities that finds its way into a variety of applications, from artistic designs to demanding construction applications. Manufacturer E-CUPSTONE offers two unique varieties of single-component water-based polymer gypsum: SnowCast (Lastryko) and HandiCast (65 MPa). These two variants differ not only in terms of colour and hardness, but also offer unique features that allow the material to be precisely tailored to your project.

Colour and dyeability of polymeric gypsums

SnowCast polymer gypsum (Lastryko) is distinguished by its exceptional pigment absorption capacity. Its bright white colour provides an ideal background that subtly highlights the colours of the added pigments, giving the designs an extraordinary intensity. This property distinguishes it from HandiCast polymer gypsum (65 MPa), which is characterised by a more neutral beige-grey colour. If maintaining saturated colours is a priority for you, SnowCast (Lastryko) is the obvious choice.

It is also worth noting that 'Chips' made from SnowCast polymer plaster (Lastryko) do not alter the colour of the mixture, which is invaluable in the Terrazzo/Lastryko technique. This means that you can achieve the desired effect without worrying about colour distortion. SnowCast polymer gypsum (Lastryko) is ideal for the Terrazzo Lastryko technique, where the sanding process plays a key role. Compared to HandiCast polymer gypsum (65MPa), the process is less invasive. Lower colour segmentation for SnowCast polymer plaster (Lastryko) allows for a more authentic imitation marble effect.

By contrast, HandiCast polymer gypsum (65 MPa) demonstrates its unique advantages. Its exceptional mechanical resistance makes it an excellent choice for projects where maintaining durability and load resistance is crucial. What's more, this gypsum is characterised by its extremely easy colouring ability with dry pigments and excellent impregnation absorption, which is of great importance in projects where it is important to highlight the material's texture. In addition, the possibility of pouring moulds as thick as 3.5 mm opens up new perspectives for advanced applications.

Use of HandiCast polymer gypsum (65 MPa) and SnowCast polymer gypsum (Lastryko)

In terms of application, HandiCast polymer gypsum (65 MPa) is an excellent choice for those pursuing projects that require exceptional mechanical strength. For construction projects where durability and resistance to heavy loads are important, 65 MPa becomes indispensable.

SnowCast polymer gypsum (Lastryko), on the other hand, stands out as an ideal material for decorative projects. Its lower strength is not a disadvantage here, but an advantage when the project focuses on aesthetics and artistic expression. In addition, the end result is even more impressive due to the better maintenance of colour separation.

Colour

Colour is often a key aspect in art projects. SnowCast polymer gypsum (Lastryko) is distinguished by its snow-white colour, which creates ideal conditions for designs with intense colours. In turn HandiCast polymer gypsum (65 MPa) has a beige-grey hue that gives it a more neutral character.

In summary, the choice between SnowCast polymer plaster (Lastryko) vs. HandiCast polymer gypsum (65 MPa) depends on the characteristics of your project. Both materials have their unique characteristics and advantages. If you want saturated colours, artistic expression and an imitation of marble, SnowCast (Lastryko) will be an excellent choice. If you need a material with high mechanical strength, HandiCast polymer gypsum (65 MPa) will certainly meet your expectations. Whatever you choose, the manufacturer E-CUPSTONE ensures the high quality of both materials to guarantee a successful project. Choose wisely and your projects will become true masterpieces.
