What is the difference between cement based and lime based skim coat?
SIRJINIE
Lime Based Skim coat (LSC) is made with lime in various formulation and there is no standard formulation. The same consists of mainly lime, oil and several other igredients which changes from place to place.
Cement based Skim coat on the other hand is factory made and contains Cement as Binder along with Filler and Additive to support various properties.
The basic difference between Lime Based Skim Coat and Cement Based are that the Lime Based Skim Coat are not water resistant and cannot be applied externally, whereas cement based Skim Coat(CSC) can be applied interiors as well as exteriors. They are water resistant. The adhesion strength of the CSC is much higher than LSC. CSC being cement based becomes an integral part of the base plaster hence the durability is very high. LSC on the other hand cannot tolerate any moisture and gets peeled off in contact with the moisture. The Skim Coats are generally done as a base coat for paints and the CSC provide a firm base for the paints. The CSC can be made water resistant which results in lower consumption of Paint by around 20%. The initial cost of application of CSC is slightly higher than the LSC which is compensated by the lesser paint consumption and becomes lower as no primer is required after application of the CSC.
