Unilit Plaster And Render Information.
The natural hydraulic lime products
replicate the strength,
porosity, adhesion, vapour permeability and flexibility of historic mortars,
ensuring the compatibility of Unilit mortars with the historic fabric and all
mineral backgrounds in conservation, restoration and refurbishment work. Where
applied in new construction the greater flexibility, extremely low coefficient
of thermal movement, and ability to accommodate the masonry expansion in each
mortar, allows masonry construction with Unilit mortars and the application of
Unilit plasters and Unilit renders without the requirement for expansion
joints.
For plaster and render application Unilit can be applied in layers consisting of
a bonding layer to optimise the bond to the existing masonry, Telling Brick Mesh
clay coated stainless steel lath for timber framed areas, undercoat layers to
build up the required thickness and profile and a finishing coat to match the
required or existing finish.
Unilit 10 and Unilit 15 bonding layers for unstable substrates, Telling Brick
Mesh for reinforcement of the junction of dissimilar backgrounds large voids and
over timber framed areas, can be applied where required to produce the required
bond to the background.
The range of Unilit Natural Hydraulic Lime mortars includes traditional lime
sand mixes – Unilit 25 Unilit 35N, Unilit 35M, and Unilit
Fen XA and Sand, which can then be supplemented by the use of Unilit 30
waterproofing and stabilising mortar for damp and salt laden areas and from
ground level or below up to 1 meter above ground, Unilit 20 lightweight
insulating mortar for thermal improvement and where the thickness or the nature
of the substrate requires a lightweight render, and the extensive range of
finishes. Unilit 15 bonding layers can also be used to as a preparation to
existing plaster and render prior to application of a finishing coat.
The use of a Unilit premixed finish will ensure the suitability of the mix to
achieve the required finish, therefore where smooth or fine textured
finishes are required the premixed range should be selected. Internal and
weatherproof external self or through coloured finishes are available in a range
of textures, for smooth and fine textured through to coarse and roughcast
finishes. A fully compatible paint system should be used to maintain the high
degree of vapour permeability – Corical Lime Paint.
The use of Unilit mortars for bedding masonry where repairs or alterations to
the original background or new extensions are to be undertaken will ensure the
compatibility of the new masonry with the existing structure, minimise
differential movement between the two areas and maintain the vapour permeability
of the substrate. Where new construction is to be undertaken Unilit will allow
construction to a considerable scale without the requirement for expansion
joints when used as mortar, plaster and render. The initial set of Unilit
mortars enables further construction to be undertaken and only requires
approximately one day additional setting time compared to cementitious mortars,
dependant on site conditions.
The natural mineral bond combined with the flexibility, initial set and slow
carbonation process enable Unilit mortars to accommodate minor building movement
and settlement without cracking. The high vapour permeability of Unilit allows
moisture to be evacuated from the background as water vapour, therefore
controlling the level of dampness and concentration of salts in the wall. These
properties in addition to the low soluble salts content ensure the compatibility
of Unilit with all substrates.
Breathable waterproofing and stabilising render - Unilit 30
Correct investigation to establish the cause of damp is essential and
wall thickness, temperature, ventilation and heat transmission all control the
movement of vapour as well as the structures ability to perform as a dry
element. Impervious sealers, decorative coatings and dense cementitious renders
can all adversely affect the building performance. The accumulation of
excess moisture behind these coatings and subsequent evaporation, through cracks
or flaws, lead to the build up of hydroscopic salts deposits. These cause
the spalling of the decoration and deterioration of the building fabric.
To seek a cure by synthetic over coating or mechanical extraction is to neglect
to tackle the cause of initial dampness, and can exacerbate the problem.
Available for application over damp and salt laden backgrounds, above and below
ground level, Unilit 30 offers a unique solution to this widespread situation
and can be utilised in salts containment applications such as in cellars and
against rising damp without the requirement for a damp proof course. This
products unique structure ensures optimum stabilisation along with salts
control.
Applied internally or externally as a render this
product is resistant to salts, impermeable to water liquid but very vapour
permeable and will therefore stabilise, reduce and control the level of dampness
and the concentration of salts in the wall and withstand the effects of rising
damp/capillary action. Unilit 30 achieves these properties by allowing the
moisture present in the wall to be continuously evacuated as vapour while
keeping the damp in the background away from decorative finishes, and preventing
external moisture passing through the render. Unilit bonding, undercoat and
finishes mortars where applied, in association with the Unilit 30 will ensure
the compatibility with the background, and maintain the overall plaster
performance.
Patch repairs to existing render
The existing plaster or render should be cut back to a stable background and
surrounding plaster. Following the application of Unilit bonding layers and
Telling Brick Mesh where required, the base mortar should be applied to achieve
the required thickness. Where a finish is only to be applied to the patch
repaired areas, allow sufficient depth for the application of a finishing layer
butted up to and level with the existing finish. Alternatively, finishing layers
can be applied to both new and existing (using bonding layer) plaster and render
areas.
For application over timber framed areas or timber or metal studwork we
recommend the use of Telling Brick Mesh to provide a mineral bond in addition to
the physical key, application over stainless steel lath and mesh or timber lath
can also be undertaken, and Unilit is noted for its success in traditional lath
and plaster application and can be used with or without hair reinforcement to
repair or replace lime hair plasters.

Unilit 15 P2H is a traditional, dry premixed multipurose mineral bonding layer based on natural hydraulic lime as the binder and approriate well graded aggregates. Unilit 15P2H is characterised by a slow but strong bonding, a high plasticity, a low content of soluble salts and excellent water vapour permeability. The natural hydraulic lime mortar is inherently stable and designed to reduce problems of microcracking along with premature drying out. Unilit 15 P2H is perfectly water repllent and hence performs perfectly where rising damp and capillary action os prevalent. The batural hydraulic lime binder, used to prepare the preblend, confroms the the European Standard EN 459-1 for building limes. The mortar Unilit 15 P2H conforms to the European Standard UNI EN 998-1
Unilit 15 P2H is applied as a bonding bridge when the background is unable to
guarantee an optimum bonding of the subsequent base and finishing coats. Unilit
15 P2H is applied in the case of unstable backgrounds such as reinforced
concrete old deteriorated masonry, old limewashes etc.
Unilit 15 P2H prevents
undesirable spots from occurring within the finishing coat due to differences in
material properties in the background. Unilit 15P2H can be applied as a keying
or priming coat in a maximum layer of 5 to 8mm.
Unilit 15 P2H can also be
applied as a protective waterproofing layer over Unilit 20 insulating render
prior to the application of a decorative finish.

Unilit 20.
A dry, premixed lightweight insulating mortar based on perlites and natural hydraulic
lime which is very vapour permeable and has extraction qualities which will promote the
drying out of the humidity and moisture in the walls. The perlite, in varying granular
sizes, ensures a light mortar with high thermal strength and adhesive properties.
Where applied as an externally render Unilit 20 has the advantage of the
insulation being placed on the outside of the wall and therefore not only
increasing the insulation of the wall, but also can remove the dew point to
outside the wall and prevent cold bridging, the effects of thermal shock and the
condensation of water liquid in the wall. Where applied internally, Unilit 20
has the advantage of the insulation being placed in the plaster therefore
increasing the insulation of the wall without loss of internal space. The
lightweight properties of Unilit 20 (approx. 1/5 of the weight of traditional
mortars) enable up to 40mm to be applied in one layer and subsequent layers to
be applied without putting excessive strain on the existing structure.
Unilit 20 can be used in both new construction and renovation and forms the insulation
layer of the Unilit system, and can be applied wherever thermal insulation is
required. An overall application of Unilit 20 ensures the elimination of
cold bridging and damage to the structure by thermal shock.
Technical information including U value calculations and glaser diagrams are
available from Telling Lime Limited.
Unilit 20 is designed to be built up in layers of up to 40mm thick, (20mm for
first two coats) to the required thickness dependant on the desired insulation
value, with a waterproofing / finishing layer of Unilit 15p2H or Unilit 40 externally or Unilit 45, 40,
65f internally.
A colour finish can be applied with a lime paint - Corical - Lime
wash and lime paint finishes are available from Telling Lime. Alternatively a
through coloured finish - Unilit 65f/65M/65N or a Telling Cori
polished finish can be applied.
Basements and other areas susceptible to rising damp must be treated with Unilit 30
mortar in place of or prior to application of Unilit 20.
The use of Telling stainless steel brick mesh is recommended where there is a
likelihood of structural movement. This mesh is coated with nodules of fired
clay (brick) which produces a mineral bond between the render and the mesh to
ensure fusion of lime to the natural mineral mesh.

Unilit 30 clause)
Apply Unilit 30 as the undercoat mortar for plastering
and rendering of internal and external walls below ground level, up
to approx. 1 meter above ground level and other areas where damp and/or
salts are present or expected.
Unilit 30 is impermeable to water but very vapour permeable and can be used as an
undercoat or as a coarse finishing coat as part of a Unilit mortar system. The mortar can be
applied to damp walls of buildings and cellars.
Where high levels of damp and salts are prevalent, e.g. basement walls the minimum total layer thickness of Unilit 30 must be 20
mm, for the minimum waterproofing performance the minimum total layer thickness
must be 12 to 15mm.
Unilit 30 can either be applied as a pre treatment prior to applying Unilit 20,
or as the first 15 - 20mm render thickness in place of Unilit 20 where greater
thickness is required. Where applied in adjacent areas to the same thickness a
finishing coat should be applied over both Unilit 20 and Unilit 30 to give a
uniform finish.
If a finish or following layers are applied to Unilit 30 after 1 week (or where
Unilit 30 has fully dried), a bonding layer of Unilit 15/P1 or 15/ P2 is
required.
Finishing layer - Unilit 40. (see Unilit 40.
clause)
A dry, premixed mineral finishing mortar based on hydraulic, naturally pure and selected
lime, and completely compatible with the Unilit system. Unilit 40 is a smooth or
fine textured weatherproof finish for external use and internal use where high
levels of damp and salts are prevalent. Designed for applications where
resistance against high impact and atmospheric influences are required and situations
where rising damp or capillary action is prevalent, such as damp walls of buildings and
cellars. The mortar is water repellent but very vapour permeable, allowing humidity
present in the wall to be able to rapidly migrate from the structure.
A colour finish can be applied with a lime paint - Corical - Lime
wash and lime paint finishes are available from Telling Lime.
Alternatively a through coloured finish - Unilit 65f/65M/65Nor a Telling
Cori polished finish can be applied.

Unilit 25.
A dry, premixed lightweight mortar based on expanded volcanic mineral deposits of varying
granular sizes and natural hydraulic lime which has excellent vapour permeability
qualities to promote the migration of moisture and humidity from with the structure.
Designed particularly for application onto thermal blockwork, the mortar controls the
level of moisture retained within the structure and has superior thermal, mechanical and
adhesive properties.
Unilit 25 can be used in both new construction and renovation, both internally and
externally, and will prevent the occurrence of mortar joint lines appearing in a render
finish.
A colour finish can be applied with a lime paint - Corical - Lime
wash and lime paint finishes are available from Telling Lime. Alternatively a
through coloured finish - Unilit 65f/65M/65N or a Telling
Cori polished finish can be applied.
Basements and other areas susceptible to rising damp must be treated with Unilit 30
mortar in place of or prior to application of Unilit 25.
The use of Telling stainless steel brick mesh is recommended where there is a
likelihood of structural movement. This mesh is coated with nodules of fired
clay (brick) which produces a mineral bond between the render and the mesh
to ensure fusion of lime to the natural mineral.

Apply Unilit 30 as the undercoat mortar for plastering
and rendering of internal and external walls below ground level, up
to approx. 1 meter above ground level and other areas where damp and/or
salts are present or expected.
Unilit 30 is impermeable to water but very vapour permeable and can be used as an
undercoat or as a coarse finishing coat as part of a Unilit mortar system. The mortar can be
applied to damp walls of buildings and cellars.
Where high levels of damp and salts are prevalent, e.g. basement walls the minimum total layer thickness of Unilit 30 must be 20
mm, for the minimum waterproofing performance the minimum total layer thickness
must be 12 to 15mm.
Unilit 30 and Unilit 25 are normally applied in adjacent areas to the same
thickness with a finishing coat applied over both to give a uniform finish.
Unilit 30 can also be applied as a pre treatment prior to applying Unilit 25 or
as the first 15 - 20mm render thickness in place of Unilit 25 where greater
thickness is required.
If a finish or following layers are applied to Unilit 30 after 1 week (or where
Unilit 30 has fully dried), a bonding layer of Unilit 15/P1 or 15/ P2 is
required.
A colour finish can be applied with a lime paint - Corical - Lime
wash and lime paint finishes are available from Telling Lime. Alternatively a
through coloured finish - Unilit 65f/65M/65N or a Telling Cori polished finish can be applied.
Consult Telling technical service department for advice on the suitability of the
substrate.
Consult with Unilit technical literature for details. Natural hydraulic lime mortars are
specialist products and it is recommended that Telling Lime are consulted early

Unilit 30. - Waterproofing and stabilising
undercoat layer.
A dry, premixed mineral stabilising mortar based on hydraulic, naturally pure and selected
lime. Designed particularly for situations where rising damp or capillary action is
prevalent, the mortar is characterised by a high plasticity, slow but strong bonding and a
low salt content.
Unilit 30 is applied as the undercoat mortar for
plastering and rendering of internal and external walls below ground level, up
to approx. 1 meter above ground level and other areas where damp and/or
salts are present or expected.
Unilit 30 is impermeable to water but very vapour permeable and can be used as an

applied to damp walls of buildings and cellars.
Where high levels of damp and salts are prevalent, e.g. basement walls the minimum total layer thickness of Unilit 30 must be 20
mm, for the minimum waterproofing performance the minimum total layer thickness
must be 12 to 15mm.
Unilit 30 is normally applied in conjunction with other Unilit undercoat layers
for remaining areas where the damp and salts control properties of Unilit 30 are
not required, with both products being applied to the same thickness prior to
the application of a finishing coat over both to give a uniform finish.. Unilit
30 can also be applied as a pre treatment prior to applying other Unilit
undercoat layers, or where greater thickness is required as the first 15 - 20mm
render thickness in place of other Unilit undercoat layers for areas as
above.
If a finish is applied to Unilit 30 after 1 week, a bonding layer of Unilit 15/P1 or P2 is
required.
For a smooth finish a premixed finish of Unilit 45 or Unilit 40 is required. A colour finish can
then be applied with a lime paint - Corical - Lime wash and lime paint finishes
are available from Telling Lime. Alternatively a through coloured
finish - Unilit 65f/65M/65N or a Telling Cori polished finish can be applied
within 2 or 3 days after the application of

stabilising layer. (see
Unilit 30 clause)
Apply Unilit 30 as the undercoat mortar for plastering
and rendering of internal and external walls below ground level, up
to approx. 1 meter above ground level and other areas where damp and/or
salts are present or expected.
Unilit 30 is impermeable to water but very vapour permeable and can be used as an
undercoat or as a coarse finishing coat as part of a Unilit mortar system. The mortar can be
applied to damp walls of buildings and cellars.
Where high levels of damp and salts are prevalent, e.g. basement walls the minimum total layer thickness of Unilit 30 must be 20
mm, for the minimum waterproofing performance the minimum total layer thickness
must be 12 to 15mm.
Unilit 30 and Unilit 35N are normally applied in adjacent areas to the same
thickness with a finishing coat applied over both to give a uniform finish.
Unilit 30 can also be applied as a pre treatment prior to applying Unilit 35, or
as the first 15 - 20mm render thickness in place of Unilit 35N where greater
thickness is required.
If a finish or following layers are applied to Unilit 30 after 1 week (or where
Unilit 30 has fully dried), a bonding layer of Unilit 15/P1 or 15/ P2 is
required.
A colour finish can be applied with a lime paint - Corical - Lime
wash and lime paint finishes are available from Telling Lime. Alternatively a
through coloured finish - Unilit 65f/65M/65N or a Telling Cori polished finish can be applied.
Preparation: The substrate must be clean and free of all
traces of oil and grease. When the substrate has been treated with an impregnating product
(silicones or similar) it is recommended to consult the supplier or manufacturer.

Unilit FEN-XA Natural Hydraulic Lime. - Natural Hydraulic Lime binder
`
Unilit FEN-XA is a pure natural hydraulic lime binder designed to be gauged with the
correct volume and quality of sand and water to produce a mortar for a variety of
applications, including traditional and modern masonry work, re-pointing, backing layers
in plasterwork and renders, finishing applications for both renders and lime washes as
well as in floor screeds and lime concretes.
Unilit FEN-XA conforms to European Standard ENV 459-1 for natural hydraulic
lime. It is not permitted to add clinker, cement or any other synthetic
binder.
The binder is mixed on site with the selected additives, such as sand and natural
pigments, to create a mortar to suit the specific application. The use of sand with an
optimum grain size is important (ideally according to the Füller-curves, with a maximum
grain size of 4 mm) but the Unilit FEN-XA binder allows the use of sand which does not
exactly meet these theoretical requirements.
Packaging: 25 kg bags, in powder form.
Density: 1000 kg/m3.
Tensile strength: 2.7 N/mm2 after 28 days;
3.0 N/mm2
after 60 days.

Binder: 4.5 N/mm2 after 28 days; 6.0 N/mm2
after 60 days.
Mortar: 2-9 N/mm2 after 28 days;
3 - 10 N/mm2
after 60 days.*
Modulus of elasticity: 6130 N/mm2.*
Volumetric stability: Stable.
Vapour diffusion resistance: µ= 13.7.
Fire classification: Non-flammable (M.O.)
Recommended maximum aggregate sizing: 4 mm.
* Variable mix strengths can be obtained by altering the mortar mix and aggregate size to
suit the application.
Contact Telling technical department for advice on the use of hydraulic lime admixtures.

removed and prepares the substrate for further treatment.
Unilit 15/P1 is designed as a fine keying or priming coat for the application of
Unilit finishing mortars to non Unilit backgrounds - concrete, old lime plasters
etc. When used as a bonding or finishing layer it is applied in a 2-4 mm layer
by trowel. Unilit 15 P1 lime wash is applied in a slurry layer using a brush,
either as a finish or as a preparation for paint application.
Unilit 15/P2 is designed as a keying or priming coat in a maximum layer of 10
mm, for the application of Unilit plaster and render undercoat layers (Unilit 20, 25, 30,

The mortar Unilit 15 P2H conforms to the European Standard UNI EN 998-1
Unilit 15 P2H is applied as a bonding bridge when the background is unable to guarantee an optimum bonding of the subsequent base and finishing coats. Unilit 15 P2H is applied in the case of unstable backgrounds such as reinforced concrete old deteriorated masonry, old limewashes etc.
Unilit 15P2H is applied to unify suction in the background prior to applying a
finishing coat.
Unilit15P2H can also be applied as a pretective waterproof
layer over Unilit 20 insulating external render prior to applying a decorative
finish.
Unilit 15 P2H prevents
undesirable spots from occurring within the finishing coat due to differences in

Coridecor Decorlux.
A ready mixed shiny lime plaster designed for interior substrates to create a smooth
and luminous appearance and rich in colour. It is a pure mineral consisting of lime putty
with a careful selection of natural additives which are matured over an extended period
and coloured by the addition of natural pigments.
The optimum background is newly applied lime plaster/render, Unilit 40 or 45 for example
(specify in clause M20/330), which can be coated without the use of a primer. Lime plaster
absorbs the Decorlux uniformly, creating excellent adhesion and allows its natural vapour
permeability and resistance to condensation to be retained.
Gypsum board, timber or any other non-mineral substrates, or substrates that are not flat
and smooth, should be coated with a base coat of Coridecor Start (see this section for
details).
Cement or composite mortars should be primed with Coridecor Corifondo.
Standard colours: White and 36 colours. Refer to Decorlux colour chart for details.
Stabilcori or Corimix concentrated pigments are available to alter the base colours at
will. To achieve colour variations, each coat of plaster can be in a different colour -
the more pronounced the selection of colour the more radical the decorative effect
achieved.
Packaging: 5 kg or 25 kg tubs.
Weight: 1700 g/litre.

Coridecor Venestuk.
A Venetian stucco finish that replicates the fine art that the master plasterers of
the Renaissance and Baroque eras created, particularly in the Venice region of Italy.
Modern day production techniques have enabled the unique properties of Stucco Lucido to be
enhanced.
Venestuk is produced from mature lime putty, fine quality vegetable extracts, carbons,
mineral pigments and carefully selected natural fillers which all combine to make the
performance of the paste and its application easier than the original plasters in the
past. It is designed for internal application to ceilings and walls to create an ultra
smooth, translucent and polished decorative stucco.
The optimum background is newly applied lime plaster/render, Unilit 40 or 45 for example, where it can be applied without the requirements of a bonding
agent. However, preparation of the substrate is required if Venestuk is to be applied over
synthetic backgrounds of paint, cement plaster, gypsum or concrete.
Gypsum board, timber or any other non-mineral substrates, should be coated with a base
coat of Coridecor Start (see this section for details).
Cement or composite mortars should be primed with Coridecor Corifondo.
Standard colours: White and 8 colours using a range of Stabilcori or Corimix natural
pigments, added on site. Colours from the Corical Lime Paint catalogue are also available.

A sealer (Plastelux) manufactured from lime, linseed oil and special mineral pigments is
available to enhance the colour and depth of the Venestuk stucco, to create a high sheen,
enamel appearance. It is resistant to water, washable and stain resistant and can be used
in all interior applications including areas where condensation is anticipated, bathrooms,
etc. There is no requirement to wax over the Plastelux as its structure makes the finish
easy to repair either by overcoating or isolated repair.

thickness of the layers should not exceed 0.3 to 0.5 mm. Apply the second and third layers
before the preceding layer has dried out using a flexible stainless steel trowel in a
diagonal pattern to the previous layer to create a random but consistent form. Whilst the
material begins to set, trowel with the flexible stainless steel trowel to blend the coats
into a uniform decorative form. Do not apply in temperatures below 5°C or above
35°C.
Finish:
Polish the finished surface with wool or cotton cloth to create a sheen or apply beeswax
as a protective layer. Do not apply beeswax until the works have been inspected and
approved for handover as repairs are difficult to achieve without removing the wax.

Coristil
- Polished Marble Finish
Coristil
is a marble finish suitable for internal and external use, which depending on
the application method can be finished to a satin or high sheen finish. Coristil
is produced form mature lime putty, selected marble powders, special
fibres and additives, which make the product extremely adhesive.
The fibres incorporated in the formulation create the optimum reinforced
structure to provide resistance to a abrasion, durability and an extended life
expectancy even under extreme conditions. Due to its permanence and aesthetic
effect Coristil is suitable for use in restoration and refurbishment, satisfying
the requirement for natural products in restoration as well as in new
construction where its versatility can be fully exploited.
Coristil is vapour permeable and resistant to condensation.
Fine wall covering with a valuable aesthetic appearance, with a smooth, clouded
and semi-polished appearance according to the degree of finishing.
The optimum background is newly applied lime plaster/render, Unilit 15
P1, 40 or 45 for example, that has not been painted, but Coristil can be
applied to substrates that have been coated with water based paints such as
lime-wash provided the substrate is sound, porous and provides an adequate key.
Thorough sanding down or removal of paint of the existing substrate is required
where application of Coristil is over surfaces which have been painted several
times.
However, preparation of the substrate is required if Coristil is to be applied over
synthetic backgrounds of paint, cement plaster, gypsum or concrete.
Gypsum board, timber or any other non-mineral substrates, and uneven surfaces, should be coated with a base
coat of Coridecor Start (see this section for details).
For crumbly, highly
absorbent bases, a Unilit 15 bonding layer or a coat of
transparent Corifondo, diluted 100% with water, must be applied prior to
application.
Cement or composite mortars should also be primed with Unilit 15 or Coridecor Corifondo.
Standard colours: White and 36 colours. Refer to Coristil colour chart for details.
Stabilcori or Corimix concentrated pigments are available to alter the base colours at
will.
Coristil
is supplied ready
mixed paste for requiring stirring with a light duty whisk. to use. Backgrounds
should be lightly dampened to control suction. Apply in temperatures between 5oC
and 35oC.
Application of Coristil is by stainless steel trowel, ensuring that the product
is spread in an even uniform thickness.. A second coat is applied as soon as the
first coat has dried, apply the second coat venly over the surface to take out
any irregularities, always working the product with pressure. When the second
coat is in the process of drying, go over it again with the remaining material,
finishing off small areas to provide a consistent finish which is achieved by
firmly trowelling the surface with the edge of the trowel. Finally, polish the
surface with the use of a plastic float.

Marmolux -
Natural
marble finish
Marmolux is a traditional natural marble finish applied since the 16th
and 17th centuries in venetian palaces. The material is produced
using mature lime putty and is blended
with carefully
selected powdered marble and vegetable extracts.
The smooth polished finish of Marmolux creates an aesthetic appearance to
replicate marble stone and its frost resistance makes it suitable for both
internal and external use. The porous structure of
Marmolux ensures that the product is vapour-permeable and is therefore
wholly suited to use both in restoration as well as new construction. The
surface has a smooth, shiny and marble-like appearance of high aesthetic
quality.
The optimum background is newly applied lime plaster/render, Unilit 40 or 45 for example, which can be coated without the use of a primer. Lime plaster
absorbs the Marmolux uniformly, creating excellent adhesion and allows its natural vapour
permeability and resistance to condensation to be retained. Preparation of the
substrate is required if Marmolux is to be applied over synthetic backgrounds of
previous paint, cement render, gypsum plaster, plasterboard or concrete. Unilit
15P1 should be used as a bonding bridge for concrete and cement,
Coridecor Start should be used for gypsum plaster, plasterboard and previous
coatings.
Marmolux is supplied in a ready mixed paste form requiring only stirring with a
light duty whisk. Backgrounds should be lightly dampened to control suction. Apply
in temperatures between 5oC and 35oC.
Application of Marmolux is by
stainless steel trowel in two passes. The first layer should not exceed a
thickness of max. 0.2 to 0.3 mm. Apply
the second coat with a flexible stainless steel trowel, also to a max. thickness
of 0.2 to 0.3 mm, before the first coat is completely dry.
The second coat is applied with firm
pressure in a diagonal pattern to the first using
criss-cross movements to create a random but
consistent form. As the material begins
to set it is trowelled with the same tool to blend the two coats into a uniform
decorative form that is unique in its beauty. Once the coats are
dry, start to polish with a clean stainless steel trowel, to the required
appearance (smooth or satin).. For
a perfectly smooth surface finish, polish once again with a woollen or cotton
cloth to create an attractive sheen, or beeswax can be applied as a protective
layer. Waxing should not be undertaken until the works have been accepted for
handover as repair after waxing is difficult without removal of the wax.

Rasocal
- Ready mixed smooth lime plaster finish
Rasocal is
a traditional lime finish for internal and external use produced using mature lime
putty selected, free of impurities, giving excellent workability, ease of
application and Heat resistant properties.
Rasocal is widely used in repairs and restoration work, including thin coat
application over new or existing plasters as a replacement finish or to improve
the existing finish. Rasocal is also used as
a fine smooth finish for plaster and decoration and for salt-and-pepper effects
on fine finish lime plaster.
The ideal surface for the application of Rasocal is new Unilit plaster/render -
e.g. Unilit 45 or 40, which require no further surface preparation.
Preparation of the substrate is required if Rasocal is to be applied over
synthetic backgrounds of previous paint, cement render, gypsum plaster,
plasterboard or concrete, or over uneven surfaces. Unilit 15P1 should be used as a
bonding bridge for concrete, cement, old lime plaster where mineral bond is
possible and uneven mineral backgrounds, Coridecor Start should be used
for gypsum plaster, plasterboard and previous coatings. Where applied as a
primer for Rasocal to flat surfaces, Coridecor Start can be applied in one 0.5mm
to 1mm layer, with Rasocal applied onto the fresh Coridecor Start.
Lightly dampen the substrate
with water if excessively dry to control suction. Ensure
that the surface areas to be treated are free of dust, oil, grease and
contaminating substances. Avoid applying at temperatures of less than +5ºC and
more than +35ºC.
For application over new plaster apply
two coats with a trowel or float to level off the surface. Rasocal is finished
with a float or spatula, moistening with water if necessary.
For application over Unilit 15P1 or Coridecor Start, Rasocal is applied
before the primer has fully dried. Apply
two coats with a trowel or float to level off the surface. Rasocal is finished
with a float or spatula, moistening with water if necessary.
