Fog Coat

Description
Use: LaHabra® Fog Coat provides a durable and long-lasting coating for existing stucco.

Composition
LaHabra® Fog Coat is formulated with Portland cement, hydrated lime and lime-resistant mineral color pigments.

Packaging
LaHabra® Fog Coat is available in 25 lb. bags (11.3kg)

Storage
Store under cool, dry conditions. Avoid direct contact with the ground. Properly stored LaHabra® Fog Coat has a useable lifetime of approximately six (6) months from date of manufacture.

Approximate coverage, when applied according to manufacturer's recommendations, is 800 to 1,000 sq. ft. per 25 lb. bag.(74-93m2)

Job Procedure

  1. Surface Preparation: LaHabra® Fog Coat may NOT be used over painted or sealed stucco surfaces. The stucco must be free of dirt and foreign material. Contact your LaHabra representative for application over smooth or unusual surfaces.
  2. Mixing: Add contents of 25 lb. bag of LaHabra® Fog Coat to 5 gallons of water and stir until no lumps remain. Add an additional 5 gallons of water, stir and allow to stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir thoroughly and strain through a nylon stocking or a suitable strainer when pouring into the sprayer. Agitate material frequently to avoid separation during application.
  3. Application: Spray apply LaHabra® Fog Coat using a hand pump, compressed air tank sprayer, professional tank sprayer or a modified painter's airless sprayer. When spraying, use a circular motion when using a circular pattern tip, or alternate vertical and horizontal motions when using a fan pattern tip, holding the nozzle 18" from the wall. Two coats are recommended to ensure complete coverage.
NOTE: Immediately after drying, the Fog Coat overspray should be brushed off aluminum and painted trim to prevent etching.

NOTE: Protect adjacent surfaces from over-spray. Fog Coat overspray, drips, or spills should be removed immediately with water, or soap and water to prevent the possibility of permanent staining.

Curing
Lightly dampen with water 24 hours after application of LaHabra® Fog Coat to assist curing. This is essential during hot weather. Complete curing requires several days, and normal chalkiness will decrease as curing takes place.

Material Standards
White Portland Cement: Type 1 ASTM C-150
