STUC-O-FLEX ELASTOMERIC ACRYLIC FINISHES
Description:
Stuc-O-Flex is a highly resilient 100% Acrylic Polymer compound that looks and feels like traditional stucco. Its thermo-plastic and elastomeric nature allows building movement while enhancing resistance against cracks.
Stuc-O-Flex is available in a wide variety of colors and textures.
Stuc-O-Flex comes in 4 different textures; Fine, Sand, Modified, and Putz. Aggregate size in each finish determines the texture and coverage of each product. See Colors and Textures for samples.
Color:
20 standard colors, see color chart for specifics. Special colors available upon request, virtually no limit to selection.
Use:
Stuc-O-Flex is used as a weathering membrane, finishing texture and color coat on EIFS, direct-applied systems, over a wide variety of surfaces including metal, stucco, cementitious sheathings, block, brick, masonry, etc. Stuc-o-Flex can also be used over a variety of common substrate materials.
Mixing
Mix with paddle type mixer and 1/2" drill to assure consistency prior to use.
Small amounts of clean water can be added to the Stuc-O-Flex finish to aid workability. Spraying the finish may require thinning with water, approximately 8 -16 ounces of water per pail.
Adhesion
Excellent adhesion to suitable, properly prepared surfaces.

Coverage Rates:
Approximately 140-150 square feet per pail for sand finish. Heavier textures can greatly affect coverage rates.
Drying Time
12-24 hours, depending on climate. Drying time can be greatly affected by temperature and humidity. Do not allow to freeze or allow exposure to rain while drying.
Storage
Protect from freezing. Store in a cool, dry area out of direct sun light in tightly sealed. Recommended storage temperature between
40-90 F.
Clean-up
Water soluble when wet.
Shelf Life
One year, if protected from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
Limitations
- Ambient and surface temperatures must be above 40 F during application and drying period.
- Stuc-O-Flex should never be used on horizontal surfaces.
- Product performance is directly related to substrate integrity.
- Vertical wall coating, surfaces shall be minimum 6 in 12 pitch
Container:
60 pounds net weight / 5-gallon pails
Surface Preparation:
Substrate must be clean, dry, above freezing and free from all loose or foreign materials prior to application.
Application
Application of Stuc-O-Flex varies greatly depending on the desired texture. Usually, the finish is troweled on and textured with plastic floats. Stuc-O-Flex can be sprayed on with proper equipment. Minimum thickness shall be 1/16 inch without voids. Apply in color and texture as approved by Architect and/or Client with sufficient manpower and equipment to insure a continuous operation without cold joints, scaffolding lines, etc. Ambient temperatures shall be 40 F or greater at time of installation, and will remain so for a minimum 24 hours or protection and heat must be supplemented to insure proper drying
