Fiber Base Coat
SPEC-MIX
Fiber Base Coat is dry, premixed cement-based stucco engineered using a proprietary formula that’s computer batched for consistency and performance superior to field mixed stucco. The stucco is a code-approved product that starts with a specially blended ASTM C897 sand gradation that increases the wall’s flexural strength while reducing cracking and crazing. Designed for both one coat and traditional scratch and brown wall systems, the product is proven to reduce product shrinkage that increases long-term durability. Whether gun or hand-applied, the stucco is approved by the ICC as a one-hour fire rated wall in one coat applications. For more information, visit www.specmix.com.
