DESCRIPTION:
n A fiber reinforced stucco base
n Factory prepared mixture of portland cement,
fibers, sand and proprietary ingredients
n Can be installed 3/8-1/2 in. (9.5-12.7mm) thick in
one application
n Color: Gray
USES:
Stucco Base over:
n Concrete
n Masonry
n Metal lath
Lath is applied over:
n Appropriate water resistive barrier over
continuous sheathing
n Expanded polystyrene (EPS). Per LaHabra
Specification and Application Guide. (Not
for Interior)
COMPOSITION:
n Binder: Portland cement
n Synthetic fibers
n Mineral and organic additives
MATERIAL STANDARDS:
Cement: ASTM C150
Lime: ASTM C206
Fibers: ASTM C1116
PROPERTIES:
Meets code criteria for exterior cementitious coating.
ICC-ES Report ESR-2564 includes 1 hour fire-resistive
assemblies.
COVERAGE:
Depending on the condition of the substrate
and thickness of application approximate coverages
per bag are:
n at 3/8 in. (9.5mm): 20-25 ft
2
(1.9-2.3 m
2
)
n at 1/2 in. (12.7mm): 15-19 ft
2
(1.4-1.8 m
2
)
n Coverage may vary due to ambient temperature,
surface temperature, surface porosity, mixing
methods, application methods, amount of water,
wall type and metal lath type. Coverage must be
verified in the field using the same procedures and
conditions that will be present at the project.
CONTAINER:
80 lb (36 kg) net weight in a moisture resistant bag.
n Storage: Store off ground and protect from rain
and moisture
n Shelf Life: 12 months if protected from sun and
moisture
WORkING TIME:
Sets in 30-45 minutes after mixing, depending
on conditions.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
n On masonry and concrete, apply only to surfaces
that are sound, clean, dry, unpainted, and free
of any residue which may affect the ability of
LaHabra Fastwall Stucco Base to bond to the
surface.
n Solid bases shall have sufficient suction (ability
to absorb water) or surface roughness or both to
ensure an adequate bond for LaHabra Fastwall
Stucco Base.
n On lathed construction, apply to lathing installed
in accordance with ASTM C1063.
n LaHabra Fastwall Stucco Base requires water-
resistive barrier installed and flashed in
accordance with building code and to form a
water-shedding surface. Stucco is not a water-
resistive barrier.
n Install water-resistive barrier (type and method
of application) per Parex USA Stucco Application
Guide or Specifications.
n Do not apply to substrates which are frozen or
contain frost or ice.
n Apply to surface prepared as for portland cement
plaster.
n For additional surface preparation options,
contact Parex USA Technical Support.
MIXING:
n Use clean equipment for mixing
and preparation.
n Mixing ratio: approximately 1.5 gal (5.6 L) water
per 80 lb (36 kg) bag.
n First add approximately 90% of needed water
in the mixer, then add the LaHabra Fastwall
Stucco Base Sanded. When mixture becomes
homogeneous, add remaining water. Mix at low
speed for a minimum of 3 minutes, until the
mixture is smooth.
n Do not overmix; never mix more than five
minutes. Mix each batch for the same amount
of time. Mix batches of the same size, using the
same amount of water, to ensure consistency.
n Use cool, potable water; let hose run to clear if it
is hot water.
n Use LaHabra Fastwall Stucco Base immediately
after mixing.
n Do not retemper LaHabra Fastwall Stucco Base.
