1.0 INTRODUCTION

At the request of Parex, Inc., RADCO conducted the Abrasion Resistance Test (500 liters of sand)
on Parex's Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS)/Synthetic Finish 530 samples. The test
was conducted in accordance with EIMA Test Method 200.01, "Standard Specification for
Performance of Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS), Class PB", and Method A (Falling
Sand) of ASTM D 968 - 93, "Standard Test Methods for Abrasion Resistance of Organic Coatings
by Falling Abrasive".

2.0 TESTSPECIMENS

All EIFS materials used to fabricate the test samples were randomly selected by RADCO personnel
from regular inventory at the Parex facility in Redan, GA on September 3, 1998. All base coats and
finishes used in the preparation of the test samples were manufactured by Parex, Inc. at their
Redan, GA facility. The entire process was witnessed and documented by RADCO personnel. All
containers were marked, sealed by RADCO personnel using tamper-proof tape as they were being
filled, and shipped to RADCO's testing facility in Long Beach, California. The Expanded
Polystyrene (EPS) foam was also selected by RADCO personnel and was molded and labeled by
Epsilon Foam Products, located in Azusa, CA (RADCO Listing No. 1222). All test specimens were
prepared by Parex and RADCO personnel between September 22, 1998 and September 30, 1998
at RADCO's testing facility in Long Beach, California. The fabrication procedures followed were
observed and documented by RADCO. The test samples were allowed to cure for a minimum of 28
days at ambient conditions prior to testing.

The fabrication procedure followed to prepare the test samples is described in detail in Appendix A
along with drawings and lay-up details.

3.0 TEST SETUP, PROCEDURE & RESULTS

3.1 Test Equipment

A. HP-1160 Gardner Falling Sand Abrasion Tester manufactured by Paul N. Gardner

Company, Pompano Beach, FI.

B. Ottawa Silica Sand: Specific gravity, 2.65. This sand is specially graded natural silica sand
and is considered standard when not more than 15% of the grains in a sample are retained
on a No. 20 sieve and not more than 5% of the grains pass thorough a No. 30 sieve after 5
minutes of continuous sieving. The sand was also obtained from Paul N. Gardner Company.

3.2 Test Setup & Procedure

The test was conducted per ASTM D 968 - 93. As specified in the standard, the gravity feed of the
abrasion tester was calibrated by passing sand through the funnel and tube such that the rate of
flow was 2 liters of sand in 21 to 23.5 seconds.

RAD-2201

The test was conducted at RADCO's testing facility in Long Beach, California from March 29, 1999
to April 1, 1999.The test specimenswere conditionedfor a minimumof 24 hoursat 73.4 ::!: 3.5F
(23:t: 2C) and 50:f: 5% relative humidity. Three (3) - 6" x 6" (152.4 mm x 152.4 mm) samples with
the exterior coating applied to the substrate on the front face only were tested. Each sample was
mounted in the test fixture at a 45-degree angle to the vertical. Sand was continually poured into
the top funnel of the tester until 500 liters of sand impacted the sample. The samples were then
visually inspected for cracking, crazing, or loss of film integrity.

Acceptance Criteria: No cracking, checking or loss of film integrity at 528 quarts (500 liters) of sand.

4.0 CONCLUSION

When visually examined, all three (3) samples complied with the test requirements of EIMA Test
Method 200.01, "Standard Specification for Performance of Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems
(EIFS), Class PB", and Method A (Falling Sand) of ASTM D 968 - 93, "Standard Test Methods for
Abrasion Resistance of Organic Coatings by Falling Abrasive". There was no cracking, checking, or
loss of film integrity observed in any of the samples tested at 528 quarts (500 liters) of sand.

Parex Base Coat and Adhesive 301 consisting of 30 Ibs. (13.6 kg) of pailed product and 15
Ibs. (6.8 kg), grey, Type I Portland cement was used. Batch number 80831A5 was
randomly selected from Parex product inventory. Base Coat was mixed according to the
Parex Product Data Sheet.

Parex Synthetic Finish 530. Batch number 80820A3 was randomly selected from Parex
product inventory.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

All test specimens were 6" x 6" (152.4 mm x 152.4 mm).

The following procedures were followed in the fabrication of the test specimens:
. Parex Base Coat and Adhesive 301 was applied 1/16" (1.6 mm) thick onto insulation board.
Parex Standard Non-Woven mesh 353 was embedded into the wet base coat using a
stainless steel trowel. Additional base coat was applied, as necessary, until the color of the
mesh was not visible beneath the surface of the base coat material. The glass fiber
reinforced base coat overlapped the board edges and corners.
. Parex Synthetic Finish 530 was.troweled over the dry Parex Base Coat 301.

DRYING TIME:
o Over Parex EIFS: use Parex Primer
310 or 313 as required by the specifi-
cationfor the systeminstalled.
:J Over porous or uneven unpainted
stucco, plaster, masonry or concrete:
level with Parex Base Coat 301 or
other compatible products and prime
with Parex Primer 310 or 313.
o Over painted substrates: paint must
demonstrate adequate adhesion or
be removed with methods which
result in no more than 10 percent of
the surface having paint remaining.
Prime with Parex Primer 310 or 313.
o Over interior drywall: prepare
drywall as for painting and apply
Parex Primer 310 or 313.
o For application of Parex Primer 310
and 313, refer to the Product Data Sheet
o For additional options, contact Parex
Technical Services.
MIXING:
o Stir to obtain a homogeneous
consistency using a heavy duty 1/2
in. drill with a rust-free paddle at 400-
500 r/min. Avoid air entrainment.
o A small amount of clean potable water
may be added to aid workability. Do
steel trowel and apply a uniform
coat the thickness of the largest
. aggregate size of the finish. For
Parex Multi-Texture and Smooth
Finishes, apply a coat slightly thicker
than the largest aggregate size.
D Texturing Multi-Texture Finish: Follow
the first application with a second
application of Multi-Texture Finish,
using tools and techniques necessary
to obtain the desired texture. The
maximum thickness within applied tex-
ture must not exceed 3/16 in. with
average thickness not over 1/8 in.
o Texturing Swirl and Sand Finishes:
use a clean plastic float, wipe
frequently and apply moderate
pressure with consistent motion,
rolling the large aggregates to
obtain the desired texture.
o Texturing Sprayed Smooth Finish: To
achieve consistent texture, Sprayed
Smooth Finish should be sprayed.
If troweled, the application described
above actually produces the final
texture. Floating following troweling
is not possible and uniform smoothness
will not be achieved.
LIMITATIONS:

One day under normiil conditions.
High humidity and low temperatures
extend drying time.
CLEAN-UP:
Water soluble prior to drying.
Clean tools and containers with
water prior to drying.
Job name
not exceed 8 oz (1 cup) per full pail
of finish. To avoid color variations,
add the same amount of water to
each pail of finish.
APPLICATION:
o Always maintain a wet edge and
work to corners or joints. For best
color consistency, use finish with the
same batch number within a wall
section. Keep container closed when
not in use.
o Ambient and surface temperature
must be 40 F (4C) or above
during application and drying time.
Supplemental heat and protection
from precipitation must be provided
as needed.
o Use only on surfaces that are sound,
clean, dry, unpainted, and free from
any residue which may affect the ability
of the finish to bond to the surface.
o Avoid application in direct sunlight
in hot weather.
