An Acrylic-Modified, Fiber-Reinforced Adhesive, Base and Leveling Coat
A fiber-reinforced, 100% acrylic-modified product, which is mixed in a 1-to-1 ratio by weight with Portland cement to produce the Genesis mixture. It provides a high-build, exceptionally easy-to-trowel adhesive, base and leveling coat. The Genesis mixture is used to adhere insulation boards to an acceptable substrate and to embed Dryvit reinforcing mesh as part of the base coat for Dryvit’s systems and is the only base coat approved for mechanically-fastened Dryvit systems. It may also be used as a high-build, crack-resistant, cementitious leveling coat to skim rough masonry and to fill small voids in cementitious substrates.
