Alpha Dry Base Coat

Cold Weather Alpha Dry Base Coat is a dry-mix polymer adhesive and base coat for use with Senergy Wall Systems during colder weather (35–50 oF).

ADVANTAGES
Use in colder temperatures when between 35–50°F. 
Fast Set adhesive and base coat allowing EPS and base coat same day application. 
Dry, bagged product that does not require heated shipping or storage. 
Easy mixing, just add water. 
Mix only what you need, making it useful for small repair, and reducing dumpster or landfill costs.
Lower cement-to-polymer ratio reducing the chance for efflorescence. 
Smooth, creamy consistency which trowels easily, speeds mesh embedment, reduces applicator arm fatigue, and increases job-site productivity. 
Water based, making it safer, non-toxic, and cleans up easily with soap and water.
