Gyp Tight & GYP Bond
Gyp Tight - Bonding Agent for Internal Gypsum Plaster and Cement Plaster Surfaces
Reason for Introducing Gyp Tight
Kaboon Gyp-Tight Bond is a high-performance bonding agent for gypsum plaster and sand cement plaster, specially designed to prepare ceiling and wall surfaces—particularly RCC surfaces—efficiently and reliably. This advanced gypsum bonding solution allows plastering work to be carried out within 24 hours, significantly reducing project timelines.
Gyp-Tight Bond minimizes the risk of de-bonding of gypsum plaster or cement plaster from RCC ceilings and walls, which commonly occurs due to low surface suction and continuous gravitational pressure. Acting as a superior plaster bonding agent, it creates a strong adhesion layer that ensures long-term durability and performance.
The product delivers dual bonding action by forming both mechanical and chemical bonds, resulting in excellent pull-out strength. Compared to conventional hacking methods, Kaboon Gyp-Tight Bond improves bond strength by up to five times, eliminating the need for labor-intensive surface hacking and reducing overall application costs.
With the growing use of modern construction techniques such as aluminum formwork shuttering, surfaces have become smoother and less absorbent. In such applications, a reliable gypsum bonding agent like Kaboon Gyp-Tight Bond is essential to ensure proper adhesion of gypsum plaster and to prevent future failures.
Application Procedure
Gyp Tight should be applied as a plaster bonding agent before gypsum plaster application to ensure strong adhesion and uniform finish.
- Background Preparation: The surface on which the Gyp-Tight Bond application is to be done should be clean, dry, and free from mold oil or any other agents. Any faults in the structure, particularly those which may lead to moisture penetration, must be rectified. Just before the application of the Gyp-Tight Bond, prewetting must be done with the help of a brush/roller.
- Mixing: Mix material (Stear) properly with a clean rod to properly distribute solid particles in the solution.
- Application: Use a good-quality paint brush. The brush should be cleaned with enough water immediately after use. Apply with an even distribution of fine aggregates over the surface. Allow it to dry thoroughly for around 24 hours.
Gyp Bond – Bonding Agent for Gypsum Plaster and Cement Plaster
Reason for Introducing Gyp Bond
Gyp Bond is a plaster bonding agent used to improve adhesion between gypsum plaster and base surfaces such as RCC, concrete, and smooth masonry. It helps create a strong bonding layer that reduces plaster failure and improves overall plaster performance.
The product enhances bonding strength, supports uniform plaster application, and ensures long-lasting gypsum plaster finishes on internal surfaces.
Application Procedure
Gyp Bond acts as a bonding agent for gypsum plaster and should be applied before plastering for improved surface adhesion.

FAQs – Gyp Tight & GYP Bond
What is Gyp Tight used for?
Gyp Tight is used as a plaster bonding agent to improve adhesion of gypsum plaster on RCC and smooth surfaces.
What is the difference between Gyp Tight and Gyp Bond?
Both are bonding agents for gypsum plaster; Gyp Tight is generally used for surface preparation before plastering, while Gyp Bond is used to enhance bonding strength during plaster application.
Can Gyp Tight and Gyp Bond be used on RCC ceilings without hacking?
Yes. Both Gyp Tight and Gyp Bond are specially formulated to be applied directly on RCC ceilings and smooth concrete surfaces without the need for surface hacking. They create strong mechanical and chemical bonds that ensure proper plaster adhesion and reduce labor time.
How long should Gyp Tight or Gyp Bond dry before applying gypsum plaster?
After application, Gyp Tight or Gyp Bond should be allowed to dry for approximately 24 hours before applying gypsum plaster. Proper drying ensures maximum bonding strength and long-lasting plaster performance.
Are Gyp Tight and Gyp Bond suitable for internal wall applications?
Yes. Both products are designed for internal wall and ceiling applications where gypsum plaster or cement plaster is used. They help improve plaster adhesion, provide a uniform finish, and reduce the risk of cracking or de-bonding over time.
