for coating or parging over exposed rigid foam insulation is a single component sand/cement blend designed for coating or parging vertical surfaces.

TrueFoam Parge-Plus is a single component sand/cement blend designed for coating or parging vertical surfaces. TrueFoam Parge-Plus is a pre-mixed blend of sand, cement, chemical admixtures, polypropylene fibre and acrylic cement modifier. The acrylic modifiers in TrueFoam Parge-Plus makes it very well suited for the thin coatings that are typical of parging applications.

Uses: TrueFoam Parge-Plus is recommended for parging over rigid foam insulation. It may also be used directly on concrete and wood foundations.

Limitations: DO NOT apply TrueFoam Parge-Plus during freezing temperatures.

Preparatory Work: Insure that rigid foam insulation is securely fastened to concrete. The surface shall be firm and free of loose particles, grease, oil and other foreign matter. Apply self-sticking fiberglass tape over joints between insulation panels, to all outside corners, over fastener heads and damaged insulation areas.

Safety Precautions: Contains Portland cement. Avoid eye contact or prolonged contact with skin.

Working Characteristics Coverage: Approximately 7.0 m (75 ft ) per 25 kg pail of TrueFoam Parge-Plus. On rougher surfaces, or if a thicker, highly textured surface is desired, coverage will be reduced.

Installation Instructions:

• Add the 25 kg dry contents to approximately 3.5 liters of water and mix thoroughly with an electric drill.
• The mix will appear dry for the first 30 to 60 seconds of the mixing process.
• DO NOT ADD WATER at this stage. As mixing continues, the acrylic polymer will re-emulsify, producing a workable mix.
• TrueFoam Parge-Plus may be applied with a trowel, masonry brush or other suitable tool, depending upon the surface texture required.
• The "pot life" of TrueFoam Parge-Plus is approximately 45 minutes.
