Conpro Stucco

Performance Characteristics

• Versatile Experienced tradesmen can create a wide variety of textures and finishes.
• Durable Resistant to weathering action, excellent freeze/thaw stability and abrasion resistance.
• Breathability Allows moisture to diffuse, preventing damage from moisture build-up in wall system.
• Integral color Color K-88 Admix added to gray or white Conpro Stucco (depending on color choice) provides long lasting color. *Note: Gallant Gray, Dickensian Gray and Navajo Brown require gray stucco.
• Color choices Available in 14 standard earth tone colors.
• Impact resistance Significantly more resilient than EIFS.

Surface Preparation

• Remove loose and deteriorated material, laitance, dirt, dust, oil and any surface contaminants that will inhibit proper bond.
• Substrate should have open-pored and textured surface.

Priming

• No priming is required under normal circumstances.

Mixing

• Mechanically mix using a low speed drill (400 – 600  rpm) and mixing paddle or mortar mixer.
• Pour 3.5 – 4 quarts of potable water and 1 quart of K-88 Admix or Color K-88 Admix into a clean mixing vessel and slowly add all of the powder.
• The proper mix ratio is 4 parts powder to 1 part water to ¼ part K-88 Admix.
• Mix continuously for 3 minutes to a uniform, lump-free consistency.
• Add up to 2 pints of additional water if needed.
• Allow to “breathe” for 1 minute and remix for 1 minute. This will improve workability and open time.
• Do not over mix, as this will entrain excess air.

Application

• At the time of application, surfaces should be saturated surface dry (SSD) but hold no standing water.
• Apply a key coat of Conpro Stucco, filling all voids.
• Allow material to take up to thumb-print hard.
• Trowel or spray texture coat.
• Work to break points to avoid cold joints.

Curing

• Keep damp with a fine mist of water for 24 hours.
• Protect from direct sunlight, wind, rain and frost during curing period.

Clean Up

• Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use.
• Cured material must be removed mechanically.

Coverage/Yield

• 50 ft.²/50 lbs. @ 1/8 inch.

Product Handling

• 50 lbs. paper bags.

• 12 months when properly stored.

• Transport and store in cool, clean, dry conditions in unopened containers.
• High temperature or high humidity will reduce shelf life.

Limitations

• Do not apply unless substrate and ambient temperature can be maintained at a minimum of 40°F for 24 hours. Refer to ACI Cold Weather Application Guidelines.
• Cold mixing water and low temperature will retard set. Hot water and high temperature will accelerate set.
• Protect application from precipitation and high wind for at least 8 hours.
• Do not add more water than specified.
• Do not re-temper, this will affect color.
• Avoid overworking material during placement.
• Substrate conditions, weather, and rate of hydration will affect final color.

Health and Safety

• Product is alkaline.
• Do not ingest.
• Avoid breathing dust.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information.

First Aid

• In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
• For eye contact, flush immediately with a high volume of water for at least 15 minutes and contact a medical professional.
• For respiratory problems, remove person to fresh air.

Disposal

• Dispose of material in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
