Product Overview
Stonecoat is an acrylic based coating which contains approximately 70% granite. It is
applied in three coats; Base Coat, Main Coat, and Top Coat.
The base coat is a primer which comes in three colors,
white, gray and black. These are provided by the factory to match the color of the Main
Coat. Black is also used under patterns which have relief lines.
The main coat comes in three textures:
Fine - SI series
Medium - SE series
Coarse - SB series (two gun application)
The top coat is a clear acrylic coating which contains UV
inhibitors it comes in two finishes, gloss and semi-gloss. The architect determines the
finish but normally gloss is used on interior applications and semi-gloss is used for
exterior applications for reasons of aesthetics.
The base and top coats may be applied with brush,
roller or spray, with spray recommended for medium and coarse finishes. The main
coat is applied by a simple hopper sprayer. The nozzle size should be altered to match the
consistency of the main coat grit.
Stonecoat is sold by the square foot of area to be covered,
estimated on a flat, smooth, rectangular surface. The base, main and top coats are shipped
in the proper quantities for the square footage ordered.
