ENCOR^® 496

ENCOR® 496 is designed for use as a binder for air-moisture barriers and as a cement modifier in adhesive/base coats and dirt resistance finish coats. It is an excellent choice for use in exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) with drainage systems due to its excellent resistance to bulk water intrusion while allowing the passage of water vapor, and for its adhesion to a variety of construction substrates. ENCOR® 496 also offers distinct early grab or “green strength”, which allows expanded polystyrene adhered with an adhesive coat based on ENCOR® 496 to be rasped in a few hours, depending on ambient conditions. ENCOR® 496 provides excellent dirt pickup resistance, good high temperature pot life and good flexibility.
