a.b.e. Construction Chemicals has
announced name changes for two of
its popular plaster enhancing products.
The company’s plaster primer and mortar
enhancer, abe.bond plasta kee, will in future
be known as abe.bond plasta enhancer.
a.b.e.’s plastergrip’s new name will be abe.
bond plastergrip.
The name changes will both become
effective from June 2014. In the case of abe.
bond plasta kee, a.b.e. felt the new name
‘abe.bond plasta enhancer’ would be a more
descriptive name for the product. In the
case of plastergrip, a.b.e has added the prefix
abe.bond to the product name in line with
overall company strategy. In both cases, it will
be the same popular a.b.e. products on the
shelves with the same quality. abe.bond
plastergrip will, furthermore, now also be sold
with full colour labelling to further boost its
customer friendliness.
Non-toxic abe.bond plasta enhancer
increases the strength, plasticity, cohesion
and adherence of plaster. It can be used as a
primer for renderings and toppings, concrete
floor repairs, floor screeds, base coat for
waterproofing, plaster and floor finishes, and
as additive for cement grouts.
abe.bond plastergrip is a heavy-duty plaster
adhesive, andmortar and screed enhancer. It is
non-toxic and increases the strength, plasticity,
cohesion and adherence of plaster.
