DelaySet POP, Extend Plaster of Paris Setting Time

DelaySet POP Plaster of Paris Retardant & Flow Enhancer

Plaster of Paris (POP) work becomes easier to control when the mix does not harden too quickly. DelaySet POP is a Plaster of Paris retarder and flow enhancer made for gypsum-based casting, craft, ceiling, repair, and decorative work where extra working time and smoother application are needed.

This powder additive helps slow down POP setting time, improves flow, reduces lumping, and gives more time for mixing, shaping, levelling, carving, and finishing. It is useful for artists, students, masons, craft makers, and gypsum workers who need a cleaner finish with better control during application.

NOTE: DelaySet POP is only compatible with Plaster of Paris (gypsum-based ). NOT suitable for cement or cement-based products.

Why DelaySet POP Helps:

• Extends POP working and setting time by around 30 minutes, depending on dosage and weather
• Improves flow, smoothness, hardness, and mixing consistency
• Helps reduce brittle finishing and uneven batches
• Reduces material waste caused by fast hardening
• Useful for decorative gypsum work, casting, repairs, and craft projects
• Easy-to-mix powder format

Best Uses: DelaySet POP is suitable for POP pots, sculptures, ornaments, decorative panels, gypsum molds, ceiling work, patching, repairs, and craft casting. The extended working time gives more flexibility for fine detailing, shaping, smoothing, and finishing.

How to Use: Mix DelaySet POP thoroughly with dry POP powder before adding water.

Recommended starting dosage: **1% to 1.5% by weight of POP**
Example: **10g DelaySet POP for 1kg POP**

Add the mixed powder gradually into clean water and mix until smooth. Adjust the dosage slightly depending on the required setting time, POP quality, water ratio, room temperature, and weather conditions. Always test with a small batch before large-scale work.
