Innovative Coating for Polystyrene

Innovative Coating for Polystyrene

The unique EPS foam coating without mesh

Using acrylic as a base, graded with specially formulated additives, aggregates and clean water, Baucoat EPS Coating System is the thin (minimum 2mm), flexible, durable, UV-resistant and weatherproof coating used now in over 45 countries Worldwide. 

Ready made EPS products coated with Baucoat are designed to handle a wide range of situations, from ideal building conditions to highly problematic substrates.

By specifying Baucoat EPS Coating System, you avoid the problems associated with products coated with conventional cementitious or other synthetic renders, such as fragility, cracking, detaching and colour fading.

Applied directly on EPS Foam

Baucoat features great durability, flexibility, impact resistance without the usage of glass fiber mesh reinforcements as in all other coating systems. The coating features great adhesion to EPS - 4 times over the standard minimum. The coating is UV resistant and the white through-coloured composition reduces on-site installation and painting issues. Due to acrylic base of the coating, the acrylic primers and paints permeate well and increase the service life of the paints. 

Baucoat EPS Coating system is durable, is very practical and allows the flexibility to produce the most demanding designs, whether flat or curved, concave or convex, stone like, white and after paint becomes vibrantly coloured.

Key features & benefits

Key features & benefits
