Suitable for both hand and machine application, this advanced formula uses High Polymer technology to deliver enhanced performance, particularly on challenging substrates such as dense blocks, unpainted render, and brickwork. When used alongside K Rend R7 Primer, it ensures superior adhesion and a long-lasting, professional finish.\n\nThis versatile base coat is ideal as a stipple coat or for dense backgrounds, offering increased water resistance and improved bonding strength. It’s suitable for use with all K Rend top coat systems, including Scraped Texture, Thin Coat, Dash, Roughcast, and Brick Rend finishes — making it a trusted choice for contractors and builders seeking reliability and ease of application.\n\nAt stress points such as window or door reveals, Alkali Resistant Reinforcing Mesh may be incorporated for added durability and crack prevention. With a coverage rate of approximately 8–11 kg per square metre at a 4–6 mm thickness, HP12 Base Coat ensures consistent, efficient results every time.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEnhanced Technology:\u003c\/b\u003e High Polymer formulation for superior performance on difficult substrates.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eApplication:\u003c\/b\u003e Suitable for both hand and machine application.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish Compatibility:\u003c\/b\u003e Works with all K Rend finishes including Scraped Texture, Thin Coat, Dash, Roughcast, and Brick Rend.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 4–6mm nominal (up to 12mm on masonry substrates).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 8–11kg\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/b\u003e Category W2 under BS EN 998-1 classification.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompressive Strength:\u003c\/b\u003e CS IV.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThermal Conductivity:\u003c\/b\u003e ? = 0.61 W\/mK (P=50%).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eCan K-Rend HP12 Base Coat be applied directly to brickwork?\u003c\/h4\u003e Yes.
