Description
Dunlop Flexible Fine Coat Render is a high-performance, fibre-reinforced, polymer-modified render that produces a fine, closed finish with superior adhesion and flexibility. The embedded fibres and flexible polymers allow the render to tolerate the minor movement common to sheeted and composite walls, dramatically reducing the risk of surface cracking. It can be applied by standard trowelling methods or by spray, and a variety of decorative finishes can be achieved depending on how it is floated or sponged.
Where to use it
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use over an unusually wide range of substrates: FC sheet and blueboard, concrete and blockwork, sound painted surfaces (alkali stable and water resistant), existing render, AAC panels and blocks, and EPS foam panels. It is the go-to finishing render where substrate movement or mixed materials would defeat a rigid render.
How to use
Ensure the substrate is clean, sound and free of dust, oil and loose coatings; prime where the system requires. Mix the powder with clean water to a smooth, lump-free consistency and apply by steel trowel or spray at 2-10mm thickness. Rule off, allow the render to firm, then float, sponge or texture to the desired finish. A 20kg bag covers approximately 6.5m² at 2mm or 2.6m² at 5mm thickness. Clean tools with water before the render sets.
Important notes
Stay within the 2-10mm application range per coat. Avoid rendering in extreme heat, wind or imminent rain, and protect the fresh surface from rapid drying. Painted substrates must be firmly bonded, alkali-stable and water resistant.

Safety
Cement-based powder — the wet mix is alkaline and dust can irritate airways. Wear gloves, safety glasses and a P2 dust mask when mixing, work in ventilation and wash skin after contact. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet before use.
