BBA Certification for Proven Excellence

Endorsed by the British Board of Agrément, OCR One Coat Base is a testament to its exceptional quality and performance. This certification underscores the product’s compliance with rigorous industry standards, ensuring it meets or exceeds the highest levels of reliability and effectiveness.

W2 Water Repellency for Unmatched Protection

OCR is formulated with W2 water-repellent properties, providing an advanced level of moisture protection for the underlying structure. This feature not only shields against moisture ingress but also contributes to the overall durability and longevity of the architectural finish.

Versatile Application as Scratch Base or Flat Finish

OCR One Coat Base stands as a versatile workhorse in the rendering process. It can serve as a textured scratch base coat, providing an ideal surface to receive a through-coloured render. Alternatively, when applied with precision, it delivers a flat finish, creating a smooth canvas ready for a thin coat render application.

Precision Application with Trowel Technology

OCR leverages cutting-edge trowel technology, revolutionising the application process. This innovation ensures seamless and consistent precision in coating thickness application, whether by hand or spray, all in a single coat. This efficiency not only streamlines the rendering process but also upholds the highest quality standards.

OCR One Coat Base is an indispensable component of ecorend’s comprehensive system, engineered to optimise substrate conditions for subsequent rendering applications. With its BBA certification, water repellency, and versatile application capabilities, OCR is a great product to use as a base.
