Heat-proof, decorative finish, for indoors
Mi-Ku Therm is a “functional” decorative finish, which is soft to touch, sparkling in light and giving the sensation of thermally insulating the substrate.
Mi-Ku Therm is an anti-condense, it modifies the dew point because the surface takes on a higher temperature than the support and improves living comfort.
The carbon footprint was reduced thanks to use of components from biomass (Mass-Balance).
The carbon footprint of Mi-KuTherm was reduced thanks to use of components from biomass (Mass-Balance) and has obtained REDcert2 certification relating to products deriving from use of biomass.
Application:
- The surface must be dry, dust-free and free of salt stains caused by humidity.
- If necessary, restructure or consolidate the substrate with specific products.
- If mildew is present, treat the surface with specific products.
- Remove by brushing, or washing, any efflorescence present and old, flaked paint.
- Completely eliminate any layers of raised lime-wash or tempera paint. Remove dust, smog or other deposits, by brushing.
- In the presence of broken and flaking substrates, with a brush apply a coat of diluted Decofix (micronised wall fixative).
- On a dry and compact support, with a roller or a brush apply a layer of diluted Novaprimer (water-based pigmented acrylic fixative).
- On completely dry surfaces, apply a first layer of Mi-Ku Therm with a stainless steel spatula, filling, paying attention not to create material build-up. Pass back over the surface when still wet with the stainless steel spatula to eliminate any imperfections or material build-up.
- Wait for the surface to dry completely, normally 8 hours and, using a stainless steel spatula, apply a second layer of Mi-Ku Therm.
- Work the surface until the desired level of finish is obtained.
- Drying time: approx. 24 hours based on the type of substrate, its absorption and the environmental conditions.
May also be applied over:
- Two-coat plaster in cement line mortar
- Two-coat finished premixed new plaster
- Old gypsum and plaster
- Plasterboard surfaces
- Old synthetic or mineral paint
- Conglomerates varying in mineral nature, provided they are absorbent.
Approximate coverage yields 1.5-2.5 m2/l in two coats with reference to applications on smooth and average absorbing substrates; 1.0-2.0 m2/l in two coats with reference to thick applications. It is advisable to determine the real yield with a preliminary test on the specific substrate.
