PLASTER
Hydrated lime (kapur plaster) is a fine calcium hydroxide powder used as a plasticiser additive in cement-sand mortar and plaster mixes in Malaysian construction. Adding 10–15% hydrated lime by volume to cement-sand improves workability, water retention, and bond strength while reducing shrinkage cracking. Sold in 8 kg retail bags for site use; purity ≥ 70% Ca(OH)₂ for builders' grade. A familiar sight on Malaysian construction sites where plasterers blend it into base-coat mixes for brick and block walls. Also known as builder's lime, calcium hydroxide, kapur hidup, and lime putty. No HS tariff data available for this entry.
