Trim Coat is a two component polymer based cementitious base coat consisting of a water based acrylic liquid component Trim Bond, mixed with the dry component Trim Coat. Trim Coat mix utilizes advanced polymer technology combining the strength and toughness of polymer modified cement with the flexibility of synthetics.
- Superior adhesion to various inorganic substrates. Combines the strength of cement with the flexibility of synthetics.
- Designed to allow minor movements up to 1.6 mm (1/16”) in the substrate without causing cracking in the base coat.
- Excellent job site quality control.
Trim Coat is used primarily as the base coat for expanded polystyrene architectural mouldings and architectural moulding accessories. It is typically applied, using different methods of extrusion, in factory controlled environments of architectural moulding manufacturing facilities.
