Marmorino KS

Mineral lime-based finish for smoothing and finishing with a satin effect for interiors and exteriors

Marmorino KS is a slaked lime putty for satin-finish levelling and finishing. It is composed of lime hydrate, selected marble sands and rheological modifiers to ensure excellent workability.

Marmorino KS creates cloudy appearance, with either soft yet vibrant colours, or a completely uniform look, imitating the classic “Marmorino Veneziano”. It is also the ideal product for levelling substrates to decorate with Era Veneziana.

Used for high-quality decorations for interior and exterior surfaces.

Natural lime plasters are the ideal base for applying Marmorino KS, which chemically interacts with them, creating a single entity with the substrate and considerably extending the life of the finish itself.

Marmorino KS also provides an excellent and elegant complement to interior surfaces.

Application:

The surface must be dry and free of dust, and of humidity-salt stains.
If necessary, rebuild or consolidate the substrate with specific products.
If mould/mildew is present, treat the surface with appropriate products. Remove any blooming and flaking parts of old paintwork by brushing or washing.
Completely remove any thick coats of lime or tempera paints. Remove any deposits of dust and grime by brushing.
In the case of non-cohesive and crumbling substrates, apply a coat of Decofix (micronized wall fixative) with a brush. For consistent, non-flaking backgrounds, as an alternative, use a brush to apply a coat of diluted Novaprimer (water-based pigmented acrylic fixative).
On a completely dry surface apply use an inox trowel to apply a layer of Marmorino KS to level; before it dries fully, smooth the surface with a dampened sponge trowel.
Remove any imperfections or material build-up.
When the first coat is fully dry, apply a second coat of Marmorino KS with an inox trowel and, before it dries completely, finish the surface with a dampened sponge trowel to obtain a closed but rustic surface.
To obtain a polished effect, before it dries completely, the surface must be reworked with a gloss inox-steel putty trowel.
To obtain a compact effect, before it fully dries, you must go over the surface with an inox trowel, paying attention to small area of material on the surface.
Drying time: about 24 hours depending on the type of substrate, its absorption rate, and environmental conditions.
