2 EUROPLAST By Stuc-O-Flex International, Inc. Description Europlast is a pre-colored, wet-mix polymer based interior & exterior coating system that transforms vertical walls into a classic example of old world Venetian style plaster. This versatile decorative coating exhibits a rich aesthetic appearance with unlimited color and texture opportunities. Achieve a wide range of effects from Rustic plaster to smooth polished limestone. Note: Europlast surfaces must receive a coat of Euroseal either clear or tinted after curing. See Euroseal data sheet. Color 20 standard colors, see color chart for specifics. Special colors available upon request, virtually no limit to selection of shades. Use Europlast is a decorative finish providing color, texture and a weathering surface in a trowel applied coating. Applications over interior and exterior wall surfaces including stucco, one coat stucco, brick, block, plaster, cementitous sheathings, and water management EIFS, even primed drywall for interior applications. Various other substrates may be applicable, contact technical for specific details. Container 60 pounds net weight / 5-gallon pail Properties: Adhesion Excellent adhesion to suitable, properly prepared surfaces. Working Time Sets in 1-4 hours after being mixed with cement. Coverage Approximately 200 square feet per container depending on desired texture. Mixing Europlast should be mixed 1:1 by weight with fresh, dry White Portland Cement type I or II. Product should be allowed to sit for 10 minutes, then remixed prior to use. Apply immediately. Drying Time hours, depending on climate. Drying time can be greatly affected by temperature and humidity. Storage Protect from freezing. Store in a cool, dry area tightly sealed. Recommended storage temperature between F. Clean-up Water soluble when wet. Shelf Life One year, if protected from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Limitations 1. Ambient and surface temperatures must be above 40 F during application and drying period. 2. Europlast should never be used on horizontal surfaces. Surface Preparation Substrate must be clean, dry, and free from all loose or foreign materials prior to application of Europlast. Application Europlast is normally applied with ordinary stainless steel masonry trowels. It can also be spray applied with proper equipment onto the substrate, then troweled to desired texture.

3 EUROPLAST Application Instructions: Using a standard paddle type mixer and ½ inch drill (450 RPM) mix Europlast at a 1 to 1 Ratio by weight with fresh, lump free White Portland Cement Type I or II. Slowly add cement to liquid Europlast, mix until smooth and consistent. Allow to stand for 5 10 minutes and remix to a uniform consistency. Immediately apply mixed Europlast finish. Note: The Europlast liquid to white cement ratio is critical for uniformity in color. Recommended method is to weigh both materials. Europlast shall be installed in a continuous application to natural breaks such as corners, expansion joints, or dissimilar materials. Mechanics must maintain a wet edge using sufficient personnel and scaffolding otherwise cold joints will result. Scaffolding is normally spaced approximately 18 inches or more from the wall to prevent staging lines. Work the shady or cool side of the building. Each plasterer should use the same type tools and techniques to match the adjacent areas below and on each side. Do not use different batch numbers on the same wall. Different batch numbers of the same color should be boxed prior to use. One Coat Semi-Smooth Surface Europlast should be applied across wall surfaces at a minimum thickness of 1/16 to 1/8 inch. The entire surface should be covered. Once applied the Europlast should be left un-disturbed until it has taken-up to a point where your finger will stay on the surface rather than sink into the material. At this time, the entire wall surface should be floated using small amounts of water on a clean trowel. Floating the Europlast in a circular or cross directional motion using gentle pressure will achieve a flat surface. Allow to dry a minimum of 24 hours. Two Coat Course Texture: Note: Leaving some texture in the first coat will provide for a finished wall surface with more character and depth if a two coat textured finish is required or specified. Depending on desired final appearance the second coat is NOT troweled over the entire surface but rather randomly applied in a multi-directional manner to create a unique pattern consistent with the cosmetic requirements for the project. Using the same or different color Europlast apply a second coat of material over the first at a thickness approximately 1/16 inch as before, allowing the material to take-up or set prior to wet trowel floating. Note: Water should be placed on the clean trowel when floating, not to the wall surface; water applied to the walls may cause colors to run. Europlast must not be subject to direct rain while dying, appropriate protection shall be required. Once the Europlast has sufficiently dried, (Minimum 24 hours) it is ready to receive the tinted antique, or clear Euroseal coating. See Euroseal data sheet for specific application instructions. Europlast should be sealed with Euroseal as soon as possible after drying to prevent potential efflorescence or color drift. Euroseal shall not be applied to wet Europlast surfaces. They must be dry, wet walls will inhibit the sealer s ability to absorb into the finish.

4 EUROSEAL By Stuc-O-Flex International, Inc. Description: Euroseal is a 100% Acrylic Polymer Sealer that is applied over Stuc-O-Flex Europlast finish and can also be applied to Cement stuccos, cementitious products, Brick, Block, Stone, etc. and Acrylic finishes to provide an antique or weathered appearance. It is highly resistant to moisture and helps to shed water in vertical wall applications while minimizing challenges associated with efflorescence. High-Gloss Euroseal is available for interior applications. Color Euroseal is available in clear and an unlimited selection of semi-transparent colors. The Euroseal colors are available in both pre-tinted containers and pre-packaged color bottles for addition at the project site. This product is intended to create an old world or weathered look while adding a striking characteristic to completed walls. Use Euroseal has a unique ability to transform a standard wall finish into a classic example of centuries old plaster. This semitransparent sealer is formulated to obtain an uneven antiqued or mottled appearance on Stuc-O-Flex Europlast finish. Euroseal also provides a highly water- resistant surface that helps reduce dirt pick-up and control efflorescence. Euroseal may also be applied to properly cured Cement stucco, One-coat stucco, Brick, Block, Stone, even painted textured surfaces. Container Euroseal is packaged in 5-gallon pails. Euroseal color bottles are packaged in 16- Oz. containers. Surface Preparation Substrate must be fully cured, clean, dry, and free from all loose or foreign materials prior to application. Mixing Using a paddle type mixer agitate Euroseal making sure all pigments are evenly dispersed prior to use. Do not introduce air into the product. Application Euroseal may be applied by brush, roller, or appropriate spray equipment. Clean-up Water-soluble when wet. Properties: Adhesion Excellent adhesion to properly prepared substrates. Coverage Approximately square feet per 5-gallon container, depending on substrate porosity & application method. Drying Time Approximately hours, depending on climate. Protect from inclement weather and freezing temperatures while drying. Storage Protect from freezing. Store in a cool, dry area tightly sealed. Recommended storage temperature between F. Shelf Life One year, if protected from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Limitations Ambient and surface temperatures must be above 40 F during application and drying period.
