K Rend HP12 Base Coat Render - 25kg

HP12 Base uses ‘High Polymer’ technology for a cost effective enhanced performance on difficult substrates. It is ideal as a stipple coat or for dense backgrounds and has increased water resistance and adhesion. Incorporation of Alkali Resistant Reinforcing Mesh may be required.

K Rend HP12 Base can also be used as an insulation bedding adhesive as part of a fixing system (with appropriate fixings) for polystyrene insulation boards onto masonry substrates.

 K Rend base coats are polymer modified and cement based to ensure flexibility and strength. Scratch coats require only the addition of water and 5 minutes mixing time. Normally applied in 1 coat as a backing for K Rend finishes. Rule off to a flat finish and scratch lightly to provide a key for the next coat.

HP12 Base can be used in some instances as part of a waterproofing system. It has been used as a backing coat for swimming pools, and in house tests show excellent resistance to chlorinated water. Specialist technical advice must always be sought prior to use in this type of application. Due to its outstanding adhesion K Rend HP12 Base Coat also makes an excellent scud coat.
