French term or phrase: plâtre à gâcher
Hello,

i'm translating a document about scientific tests to determine the level of formaldehyde emissions of certain building materials, specifically a type of plaster used on internal walls, called "plâtre à gâcher".

How should I translate this? I think it is a particular type of plaster, so I'm not sure if just calling it "plaster" would cover it, but I can't find the translation of the term anywhere.

Thanks for your help,

Holly.
