Company Promotes Hurricane Resistant Stucco

09/22/2004
LAS VEGAS, NV -- (MARKET WIRE) Structures USA has developed a stucco coating so tough it can resist hurricane-force winds and flying debris. Stuccomax, as it is called, has a compressive strength of 8000 psi (more than double that of typical concrete), and is capable of stopping many bullets and/or shotgun blasts. Designed as a single-coat stucco finish for exteriors of buildings, Stuccomax is so hard it is almost impossible to drive a nail into it and it does not shrink or crack like conventional stucco.

Stuccomax, with its resistance to fire, has the ability to reinforce foam coating currently used to insulate pipes, and as decorative shapes, which release toxic fumes during fires that can cause death in seconds. Foam is used in hotels, casinos and restaurants, and most commercial and residential structures across the nation.

Stuccomax is to be sold in bags through building products distributors across the country and is very affordable at little more than conventional stucco. The interest in this product has been enormous, especially from contractors who only have to apply one coat of stucco, which in turn saves on labor costs. Conventional stuccos require two to four applications and are the subject of shrinking, which is a leading cause of cracks requiring costly repairs. Stuccomax can also be used to cover existing damaged finishes.
