PAREX® Elastomeric Finish

Two (2) years when properly stored in original container.

Store in a cool, dry place protected from freezing, extreme heat and direct sun. Store at no less than 40°F (4.5°C).

<30 grams per liter

• Armourwall Stucco Assemblies
• Poured in place concrete 
• Concrete masonry 
• Portland cement stucco

Under average conditions 70°F (21°C), 50% relative humidity, Finish will be dry within 24 hours. Drying time is dependent on humidity, air temperature, sun exposure, surface conditions and finish thickness. Lower temperature, higher humidity and application in shaded areas will extend drying time.

▪ Protect finish from rain or other precipitation and temperatures less than 40°F (4.5°C) for a minimum of 24 hours and until dry. Do not apply      over damp surfaces or during rain, or snow events or if rain, or snow is imminent. 

Swirl Fine: 160-170 ft² (14.8-15.8 m²)
Sand Fine: 190-200 ft² (17.6-18.6 m²)
Sand Coarse: 140-150 ft² (13-13.9 m²)
Smooth: Skip Trowel Technique 180-190 ft² (16.7-17.6 m²)
Smooth: 300-350 ft² (27.9 to 32.5 m²) per coat, minimum 2 coats

NOTE: Application over brown coat, will require approximately 10-15% more material.

Coverage rates may vary depending on the coating texture, porosity of substrate and application techniques

Substrates must be clean, dry, sound and free of loose material, releasing agents, paint, efflorescence, contaminants and other coatings.
SikaWall-10 Tinted Primer or SikaWall-15 Stucco Prime can improve color uniformity and have a negligible effect on adhesion. Verify substrate is flat, free of fins or planar irregularities greater than 1/4” in 10’ (6.4 mm in 3 m). Cracks greater than 1/32ʺ (0.8 mm) must be pre-sealed. Fill cracks or voids with an appropriate, compatible material to provide a solid substrate prior to the application of finish. Ensure patching material and/or primer is dry prior to application of finish.

• Swirl Fine Texture: In order to minimize the possibility of substrate read-through with white color White Base, we recommend the use of SikaWall Tinted Primer or Stucco Prime.
• Concrete: allow to cure a minimum of 28 days prior to application of primer or finish.
• Concrete Masonry: allow concrete masonry to fully cure prior to application of primer or finish. When needed, apply a leveling coat of Sika Facades high build base coat to provide a smooth surface and minimize the likelihood of mortar joint readthrough prior to application of finish.  Avoid application over wet concrete masonry or uncured mortar joint material. 
• Stucco: allow to cure a minimum of 7 days prior to application of primer or finish.

• Thoroughly mix finish to a uniform workable consistency. A small amount of clean potable water may be added to adjust workability. Do not exceed 10 oz. of water per 5-gallon pail.
• Additives are not permitted.
• Close container when not in use.
• Clean tools with soap and water immediately after use. Dried material can only be removed mechanically.

Sand Fine, Swirl Fine, Sand Coarse Textures

1. Apply finish directly to the substrate (or primed substrate) with a clean, stainless steel trowel. Apply and level finish during the same operation to a minimum obtainable thickness consistent with uniform coverage.
2. Maintain a wet edge on finish by applying and texturing continually over the wall surface. Work finish to corners, joints or other natural breaks and do not allow material to set up within an uninterrupted wall area. Float finish to achieve final texture.

 
Smooth Texture

• For smooth application: allow the first coat of finish to dry prior to applying a second coat. 2 coats are required for a smooth texture.
• For free-formed application including stipple and skip trowel, maximum thickness not to exceed 1/8" (3.2mm).
