Plaster-MaxICF the Green Alternative to Drywall.
PlasterMax is the only EPS fire rated coating product that provides both impact and abrasion resistance and still maintains cost parity and superiority with wallboard
There is no wallboard with both impact and abrasion resistance that meets PlasterMax performance
PlasterMax is the only healthy materials coating that contains no acrylics or Portland type cement and has a lower carbon footprint
LEED points are available when using PlasterMaxhttp://www.barrett-inc.com/plastermax.html

PlasterMax is a True Stand-Alone Interior Green Coating Product for the ICF and SIPS Panel Industry
Friday, November 26, 2010
Green Building Material
GigaCrete PlasterMax, a LEED qualified interior wall coating, was listed as a green building material by Architectural Record and selected by BUILDERNews magazine as a Best Products 2007 Winner.
The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) certified GigaCrete PlasterMax as a Low-Emitting Listed Product."The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute is an industry-independent, non-profit organization that oversees the GREENGUARD Certification ProgramSM. As an ANSI Authorized Standards Developer, GEI establishes acceptable indoor air standards for indoor products, environments, and buildings."
In 2007, Popular Mechanics magazine awarded a Best in Green Design to panels made with GigaCrete hydraulic cement and waste materials.
On February 14, 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) challenged the homebuilding trade to construct 220,000 "high-performance" homes by 2012 that score 70 or lower on the EnergySmart Home Scale.To qualify as high-performance, a home must use 30%-or-less energy than a typical new home built per the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code. In early 2009, Next Gen 09 LLC, in partnership with the DOE Builders Challenge program, built a high-performance 5,200-square-foot (480 m2) demonstration home outside Las Vegas, Nevada.[16] The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that GigaCrete PlasterMax was used as the interior-wall finish of that high-performance Las Vegas home.
Plastermax on ICF
GigaCrete Plastermax is a fire-resistance rated interior wall coating for insulated concrete forms (ICF) thereby providing a green alternative to gypsum drywall on ICF. When sprayed or troweled onto the polystyrene foam facade of stacked ICF blocks, Plastermax forms an abuse-resistant surface.

PlasterMax~ Newest Green Building Product
PlasterMax is a new, eco-friendly cementitious building material that uses no Portland cement; rather, it consists of a proprietary nontoxic binder, and a filler utilizing waste ash from coal fired power generation stations, of all grades, not just the fly ash currently used as a ten percent filler in concrete. Other fillers include waste paper, cardboard and plastics, styrofoam packaging, sludge from paper mills, and agricultural waste fibers (leftover from food crops like rice, corn, wheat and other grains). Since most of these materials would just end up in a landfill (sacrilege!), they instead make a great alternative building material. All of the above materials become totally fireproof and can be made very lightweight, yet are as strong as traditional concrete, sometimes even more so. Gigacrete composites do not shrink or crack like concrete, they're fireproof and water/insect/vermin/mold/hurricane/earthquake resistant. We are a factory direct distributor ~ will be on our site soon

Green Building Material PlasterMax-ICF
GigaCrete has reinvented PlasterMax-ICF. Previously PlasterMax-
ICF Base Coat at 3/8” thick was needed to meet the fire
code over ICF construction to replace ½” gypsum board with a 15
minute barrier. On April 26, 2010, GigaCrete installed 1/8” new
PlasterMax over ICF walls and passed NFPA 286 again at 1/3 the
previous thickness. This material when tested by ASTM compression
tests is 8,000 psi, double the previous PlasterMax-ICF Base
Coat approximately 4,000 psi. This new version dubbed “thin coat”
will also replace PlasterMax-IND over drywall thereby simplifying
the family of PlasterMax down to one product. This new version
can be used over ICF, SIP’s panels, CMU and concrete, gypsum
board and other potential substrates. PlasterMax is non-combustible
and with EIFS type mesh costs a little over $1.00 per sq. ft.
in materials.
