Description

Diamond Flex is a single-component polymer-based cementitious base coat developed to utilizing polymer technology to combine strength and toughness of polymer-modified cement with the flexibility of synthetics. Diamond Flex is the second coat of base coat in the Point Guard woodpecker resistant EIFS lamina system. Diamond Flex is white when fully cured.

Advantages

Diamond Flex has been formulated to provide a highly flexible, crack resistant cement-based coating.

Diamond Flex provides the following features:

  • Excellent adhesion to cementitious substrates, including Diamond Coat Plus
  • Combined strength of cement and the flexibility of synthetics
  • High flexibility allows for large surface areas to be coated without the need of unwanted control joints
  • Easy to use; just mix with water
  • Provides flexibility as a second base coat layer to the Point Guard lamina system for EIFS
Uses

Diamond Flex is applied over fully cured Diamond Plus to create a flexible surface ready to receive architectural finish coat. It provides the woodpecker resistance in the Point Guard woodpecker resistant EIFS lamina system when combined with Diamond Coat.  Can also be used in repair / retrofit application over previously installed EIFS coatings in combination with Diamond Coat.
