Terraco Styrobond is a basecoat in the Terraco EIFS System. It provides an excellent basecoat for embedding Terramesh glass fibre mesh on top of which the primer and EIFS finishing coat are applied. It can also be used in place of Styrofix as an adhesive.
Terraco offers several varieties of Terraco Styrobond basecoats, ready-mix and dry-powder versions, each to meet different requirements.

| Packaging | Features | Benefits | |
| 25 kg paper bags |
Familiar 1:1 mixing ratio and add up to 1.5-2.0 litres of water to desired workability. Provides smooth consistency. Good flexural strength. Water resistant. Environmentally friendly, water based. |
Easy to mix with a high speed mixer and allow to stand for 10 minutes, remix and use. Easy to trowel on, increasing productivity. Excellent adhesion. Ensures that system is vapour permeable. Safe, non-toxic, clean tools with water. |
| Styrobond DP (Dry-powder) |
Use | Consumption | Literature |
 |
A polymer modified dry-mix base coat used as an embedding mortar applied over the insulation boards to embed the Terramesh prior to application of finish coats. It can also be used an adhesive between a mortar (solid) substrate and the insulation board, however Terraco recommends the use of Styrofix in most cases. |
