Acrylic Stucco is a material used in the building construction industry and has many advantages over natural stuccoing. It is easier to clean and is more durable than natural materials. The stuccoing process is slow and labor intensive as compared to natural cement based stuccoing. It is also resistant to water, fire, and mold and mildew which make it ideal for use in both interior and exterior applications.
Acrylic stucco are composed of acrylic polymer resins and glue-like polymers. Acrylic is usually clear to translucent when viewing it under direct light. Acrylic stucco come in a wide variety of vivid colors and is also often painted. Since this stucco doesn't fade, it doesn't need to be re-painted often like traditional stuccoing.
Unlike other conventional resins and solidifies primarily in contact with moisture, acrylic stucco dries quickly. When moisture is applied to the surface of the stucco it solidifies instantly creating a smooth dense surface that will withstand even the most severe weather conditions. Acrylic resins are more resistant to ultraviolet rays than other types of natural stuccoing. They are less brittle than other synthetic stuccos and are more pliable and elastic than natural acrylic resins. This makes acrylic stucco suitable for use on structures that require sturdiness and resistance to weather.
Unlike other synthetic resins, the texture of acrylic stucco will not change over time. This means that your house will have a consistent texture from day one and will not become outdated with the passage of time. Unlike traditional stuccoing, the texture of acrylic resins can be virtually changed by the addition of a modern paint. With traditional stuccoing, changes in the texture can mean a significant cost investment. Finally, another major advantage of acrylic stucco is its color variation. While traditional stuccoing can have a green, blue or brown tint when new, acrylic stucco will remain solid throughout its life cycle. This is due to the chemical composition of the compound used to create the compound. Portland cement contains various pigments that enhance the color variation of the material, and the stuccoing has been dried and formed by this process before it was applied to the outside surface of the home.
