Mineral decorative coating for glossy and matte interior finishes
CalceCruda Tinta a Stucco is a mineral decorative finish for interiors, formulated on the specific properties of lime hydrate, purified clay, selected marbles that, appropriately balanced, allow to achieve excellent workability and versatility.
The clay component creates a reticular structure of particles, regulates their processing times and improves their workability. Suitably diluted, CalceCruda Tinta a Stucco can be applied with a brush creating opaque decorative finishes, rich in nuances and chromatic variations.
CalceCruda Tinta a Stucco can be applied with stainless steel trowel and creates glossy trowelled decorative finishes, with vibrant and deep tones.
CalceCruda Tinta a Stucco is able to significantly reduce the concentration of formaldehyde that may be present in the ambient air
Application:
- The surface must be dry and have no dust and mineral salt spots.
- If necessary, restore or consolidate the substrate using specific products.
- Treat the surface with appropriate products in the presence of mould. Remove any salt bloom and any flaking old paint by brushing or washing.
- Completely eliminate any raised layers of lime-based or tempera paint. Remove the dust deposits, smog and other by brushing.
- Prepare the substrate with one layer of Zer0 Primer (water-based mineral primer) diluted, applied with a brush.
- Using a stainless steel spatula, apply a smooth layer of Calcecruda Tinta a Stucco onto a completely dry surface.
- Eliminate any imperfections or accumulations of material.
- When the first layer has dried completely, use the stainless steel spatula to apply a second layer of Calcecruda Tina a Stucco following the previously described procedure.
- Work into the surface still wet according to the desired effect. To obtain a compact effect, before the surface dries completely it is necessary to pass over the surface with a stainless steel spatula, making sure to handle only small portions of material.
- Drying time: approx. 24 hours depending on the type of substrate, its absorption and the environmental conditions.
May also be applied over:
- New and old base hydraulic binder-based plaster.
- Old paints and organic or mineral coatings, dry, compact, absorbent and cohesive.
- Various absorbent mineral conglomerates.
- Gypsum and plasterboard surfaces
Approximate coverage yields for applications with brush 0.4-0.7 kg/m2 in two layers; for application with stainless steel trowel0.8-1 kg/m2 in the two layers.
It is good practice to check the effective coverage via a preliminary test on the specific substrate.
