ALPHA GENIE BASE COAT is a 100% acrylic, fiber-reinforced base coat, adhesive and leveler that is field-mixed with Type I or Type II Portland cement.

 

 
Features Benefits
High build, fiber-reinforced Achieves excellent resistance to drying shrinkage cracks; improves coverage when embedding mesh
Smooth, creamy consistency Trowels on easily, speeding mesh embedment, reducing applicator arm fatigue and increasing job-site productivity
Can be used as a leveling coat up 1/8" thick per pass, 1/4" total Minimizes multiple applications when leveling shallow spots or filling voids; spots fasteners in one pass without shrinking and cracking; reduces cement and pail disposal cost
Versatile, multipurpose product Use as an adhesive, base coat and leveling coat
Water based Safe, non-toxic; clean up easily with soap and water

Uses
SENERGY® ALPHA GENIE BASE COAT's properties enable it to be used as a leveler over masonry, stucco and other cementitious substrates. ALPHA GENIE BASE COAT can be applied at a maximum thickness of 6 mm (1/4").
ALPHA GENIE BASE COAT is designed for use as the leveler, adhesive and/or base coat in several wall systems from Senergy.
ALPHA GENIE BASE is used with the Senerflex® Wall System to adhere expanded polystyrene insulation board to the following acceptable substrates:
  1. SENERSHIELD®
  2. SENERSHIELD-R
  3. Unpainted and unglazed concrete or unit masonry
  4. PermaBase™ brand cement board (or other ASTM C1325 Type A Exterior approved cement boards)
  5. Poured concrete/unit masonry
  6. Fiberock® Aqua-Tough™ sheathing
  7. e²XP™ by National Gypsum, GlasRoc® by Certainteed and DensGlass™ exterior sheathing (ASTM C1177)
  8. Gypsum sheathing (ASTM C79/C1396)
  9. New and untreated Exposure 1 or exterior plywood sheathing (Grade C-D or better)
  10. Exposure 1 OSB
Note: Wood-based sheathing substrates require priming with SENERPRIME™.
ALPHA GENIE BASE is used with Senerflex® EIFS, Senturion™ I, II, and III residential EIFS, Senergy Cement-Board Stucco™ System and all Senergy Textured Acrylic Surfacing Systems to embed CORNER MESH and SENERGY REINFORCING MESH.
ALPHA GENIE BASE will also adhere expanded polystyrene insulation board (EPS) to expanded polystyrene insulation board enabling the build out of architectural shapes and details.
