It is a product formed of special marble powders of different granulometries, grassello di calce and additives that give the product excellent grip on any support.
Technical Data Specific weight: 1,700 Kg/l ? 0,05 Granulometry: 1000 ? max Appareance: Paste Consumption: about 2 kg/m2 when finished Travertino in Pasta is a mineral leveling product, highly breathable for indoor and outdoor use, especially suitable for obtaining satin-finished surfaces.
Water vapor Diffusion: 745 g/m2 in 24 hours Resistance Factor to vapor diffusion: ?=150 Air equivalent layer: Sd = ? ? s = 0.03 m (calculated with s= 0.2 ? 10-3 m) Coefficient of water absorbtion: w= 0.25 kg (m2 ? h1/2). ? Sd ? w= 0.0075 kg (m ? h1/2). Respects the theory by Kuenzle.
Use It can be used on any support, both indoor and outdoor. The adherence is very good without any inconvenient that are usual for traditional marmorino products. Thanks to its special mineral components it has got an excellent resistance to humidity and ageing, a good breathability and water resistance.
Preparation Mix the paste well with the help of a mixer drill, without adding any water. If it is necessary a colored paste, use iron oxides or ask Colorificio Veneziano.
Base preparation and application cycles After the base preparation (brushing, scraping and acrylic insulation) apply Travertino in Pasta. Use a steel trowel by spreading smoothly as it was a plaster, making a 2 mm depths. Pay attention to the paste smoothness because a good result can be obtained already with the first application. After at least 24 hours apply the second layer using a trowel making a thinner layer: just make a soft pressure. Right away after, (one person spreads the product and another one smooths it), level the surface with a steel clean trowel. As the product dries, increase the pressure of the application. If done in the right moment, Travertino in Pasta increases its shiny effect. If the weather is hot or in case of wide dimensions of the facade, wet the product with a water spray. If the application is outdoor, during very humid days, protect the wall for at least 3 days. The color of Travertino in Pasta is natural that takes the hue of marble dust. Indoors, to obtain more protection and shine, it can be treated with transparent waxes. Outdoors, to reduce the wet effect, you can apply after at least 10 days, a protective silicon base.
Warnings Avoid the application with temperatures lower than +5 ?C and relative humidity higher than 75%. Avoid the application in the coldest months. Before applying Travertino in Pasta, verify the mechanical resistance and the mortar adherence to the base plaster. If these resistances are not good enough, there might be a detachment of the plaster?s thin mortar. Facades coated with Travertino in Pasta, during the lay-up and the following days, must be protected from rain otherwise white spots may show up.
