Plaston Centennial Finishes
Plaston CENTENNIAL finishes are 100% acrylic and polymer based wall coatings. All Plaston CENTENNIAL finishes are factory mixed and integrally pigmented. Because they are crack resistant, fade resistant, water and mildew resistant, Plaston CENTENNIAL Finishes can be used as durable, and decorative coatings over various types of substrates for exterior applications, available in different textures, finishes, and in an unlimited array of colors. Also Plaston CENTENNIAL finishes provide a textured coating for substrates like concrete, stucco, and unit masonry and they can be used for any Plaston EIF system..
Textures and Color
The Plaston CENTENNIAL finishes are available in eight different textures and 70 standard colors. Custom colors are available upon request.
Precautions
- Ambient and surface temperatures must be 40°F (4°) or above during application and curing time. Supplemental heat and protection from rain must be provided, as needed for a minimum of 24 hours.
- Avoid application in direct sunlight and excessive heat exposures.
- To adjust workability only clean potable water shall be used. Over watering should be avoided.
Drying Time
The drying time depends upon weather conditions. The Plaston CENTENNIAL shall be protected from rain or adverse drying conditions for at least 24 hrs. Cool and humid weather significantly extends curing time.
Surface Preparation
- All substrates must be clean, dry, structurally sound, free of oil and form release agents, and curing compounds.
- In Plaston EIF Systems, the CENTENNIAL finish is applied directly to the cured and flat Plaston Base Coat. All visible irregularities must be corrected prior to CENTENNIAL application.
- When applied over concrete or stucco, the substrate should be completely cured and be free of form release agents and other contaminants or excessive moisture before applying Plaston CENTENNIAL finish. All surface irregularities must be ground down and voids should be filled using Plaston Base Coat.
- When Plaston CENTENNIAL is applied over masonry, it is required to skim coat the surface with Plaston Base Coat to achieve a smooth and level substrate. Allow the base coat at least 24 hours to cure before applying the CENTENNIAL finish.
- Plaston Primer is recommended prior to the finish coat application, to stabilize wall porosity and improve adhesion.
Mixing Instructions
- The finish coat must be mixed thoroughly in its original shipping container using a rust-free high speed mixer, until a uniform consistency is achieved.
- A small amount of clean and potable water may be added to adjust workability.
- No additives of any other kind are allowed.
Application Procedure
- Using the flat edge of a stainless steel trowel, apply the Plaston CENTENNIAL finish to the wall at a thickness slightly thicker than the largest aggregate. Spread evenly, and scrape down to a thickness equal to the size of the largest aggregate.
- Start floating the finish coat immediately to achieve the final texture. The finish should be applied continuously, working to a wet edge, so as to eliminate cold joints. The finish should be protected from rain and freezing until completely dries.
- When using a roller or sprayer, apply in a smooth and even coat maintaining a wet edge.
