Terminology for Supplier Purchases

these are the different things we buy to make our products

SHURKOTE DB

is a cement, silica sand and 100% acrylic polymer based material that is used as an EPS insulation board adhesive and / or a base coat.

Shurkote db is primarily used as a base coat to embed reinforcing mesh, as well as adhering EPS insulation board to approved substrates. Shurkote db can be used as an adhesive over Dens Glass Gold (ASTM C1177); water resistant core gypsum sheathing (ASTM C1396). Shurkote db can also be used as an adhesive over concrete, concrete masonry, stucco and other approved substrates.. Bag is around 50 pounds

Polybond fine basecoat 50lb bag

Poly-Bond is for use as a base coat and adhesive for expanded polystrene foam shapes. These shapes are typically used as exterior decorative trim such as pop-outs, plant-ons, cornices, and quoins. LaHabra Poly-Bond is offered in coarse for maximum keying strength and fine for complex architectural details.

Tytan foam bond 60 adhesive

General purpose, fast-tack 60 second polyurethane foam adhesive. Provides excellent bond strength when using a variety of construction materials, including wood, metal, foam, gypsum board, and concrete, without degrading or deforming XPS and EPS polystyrene foams.

BTS-PLUS Basecoat

Sto BTS® Plus, a one-component, polymer-modified, cement-based material used as an adhesive and base coat in Sto Wall Claddings, including StoTherm ci systems. It's specifically designed to achieve the recommended minimum 1/16" base coat thickness in a single application. 

Genesis Dry Mix

High-performance, fiber-reinforced, dry mix, polymer-modified, cementitious adhesive and base coat specifically formulated for use with Dryvit systems.

Genesis DM is used to adhere expanded polystyrene insulation board to acceptable substrates and to embed reinforcing mesh as part of the base coat for Dryvit systems.

DOW XNERGY™ Rigid Insulation

a closed cell high-performance core material. Dow’s proprietary extrusion process enables precise control of parameters such as density, cell size and cell orientation. This yields foam boards that can stand up to the most demanding composite panel applications. DOW XNERGY™ Rigid Insulation is supplied in sheets that have been carefully engineered and sanded to precise tolerances for an exceptional bonding surface. DOW XNERGY™ Rigid Insulation is customized for use in Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems (EIFS). The closed-cell structure of DOW XNERGY™ Rigid Insulation prevents the foam from absorbing water, which helps maintain panel integrity and insulating properties in low temperature applications and other environments with high humidity conditions.

InsulFoam (comes in different measurements and densities)

is an engineered insulation consisting of a superior closed-cell, lightweight and resilient expanded polystyrene (EPS). InsulFoam meets or exceeds the comprehensive strength, flexural strength, dimensional stability and water absorption requirements of ASTM C578, Standard Specification for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation. InsulFoam can be manufactured in a wide range of block and panel sizes, and in a wide assortment of shapes and densities. In addition, the insulation offers a long-term, stable R-Value and has excellent dimensional stability, compressive strength and water resistance properties. InsulFoam can contribute toward environmental credentialing including LEED® credits.
