The most common questions customers have about our Styrofoam products is how durable can it be if it is made of Styrofoam?
The answer is that it is very durable as long as it is properly coated. Our foam banding is coated with Stucco Cement that has an acrylic modifier called Acrylbond mixed into it. Acrylbond is an organic polymer adhesive.
When it is used as an admixture in cement mixes, it increases the adhesion, cohesion, and chemical bond. It improves water and weather resistance qualities, improves curing, and reduces shrinkage cracks.
It aids in creating hard, durable, water and chemical resistant concrete surfaces.
