Fine Seasoned slaked lime based finishing coating for interiors and exteriors.
VENETIAN PLASTER MARMORINO replicates the true smooth marmoreal and mineral look of the ancient lime plasters , usually called and know under the name “Marmorino”. It is up of seasoned slaked lime made rich of magnesium, natural pigments and oxides colour , white Carrara marbles and minerals additives.
CHARACTERISTICS
VENETIAN PLASTER MARMORINO is a mineral covering permeable to water vapour, based on lime putty of the best quality, fired in wood-burning kilns and seasoned for a long period (essential to ensure stability and duration to the product), selected marble dust of graded grain sizes, additives of vegetable origin, less than 3% of additives of organic origin (dry residue compliant with DIN 18363, 2.4.6 standard), inorganic earths and oxides. The use of lime as a binder gives maximum permeability to water vapour, promoting the natural diffusion of environmental damp through the rendering and brickwork. The high basic nature of the mineral component counteracts the growth and spread of mould and bacteria, if external factors do not modify the pH. The process of carbonization helps to create a strong structure that is unalterable over time.
With the special characteristics of the materials used, VENETIAN PLASTER MARMORINO is highly resistant to light, is non-flammable and non-toxic, and does not pollute. Given its special mineral composition, in exterior applications the product may be subject to uneven marks and colour changes due to different absorption of the surface during application, and over time to exposure to various environmental conditions. Exposure to persistent driving rain in the first few days after application, particularly to acid rain, can cause the formation of a whitish surface deposit due to the chemical reaction of the calcium hydroxide that has not yet been carbonized. This deposit tends to disappear over time as the surface is washed by further exposure to rain. These imperfections of finish are not to be considered as product defects, but are characteristics instead of its naturalness.
USES
VENETIAN PLASTER MARMORINO is particularly suitable for the restoration of old historical buildings such as mansions, villas and churches, both internally and externally, for the creation of highly attractive finishes in both modern and classical settings, such as halls, stairways, bathrooms and lounges, and to give added elegance to exclusive hotels, restaurants, shops, etc. It is also the ideal solution for finishes on interior plasterwork repairs and dehumidifying treatments.
VENETIAN PLASTER MARMORINO can be used as a base for VENETIAN PLASTER STUCCO and also to obtain translucent MARBLE effects.
