Monocapa
Polymer Modified Cementitious Plaster
Coverage

45 SF @ 1/8" Thickness

Description

Monocapa is a polymer modified, Portland cement-based plaster, which has been formulated with numerous ideal features to provide a versatile, hard, strong, durable, fire and weather resistant surfacing material. Monocapa can be used in a variety of exterior/interior applications both on vertical and horizontal planes and in the hands of a skilled tradesman can be worked into patterns and textures flat of curvilinear surfaces.

Advantages
  • Excellent workability.
  • Maximum crack control.
  • Maximum quality control.
  • Minimum mixing time.
  • Low cost.
  • Consistency and ease of duplication of mixes.
  • Rated non-combustible.
  • Rot and fungus resistant.
Uses

Monocapa can be used as a base coat in Lite Coat and Stucco Lite Systems, over new or existing substrates such as masonry, concrete, concrete block, brick or other cementitious renderings.
