STERYLCALCE by OIKOS is a mineral, water-based paint for interiors, formulated with mature lime putty that gives a smooth and matt finish. Thanks to its level of alkalinity, STERYLCALCE has a bacteriostatic action, which inhibits the growth of mould and bacteria. Sterylcalce confers to the wall a warm appearance with tones of colours typical of the ancient decorations made with lime products. Formaldehyde-free. Product certified in class “A+” under emissions classification (Decree of the Official French Gazette dated 19th April 2011).
Ideal Use
Interior walls
Surface Preparation
The surface must be dry and mature, new plasters should be left to mature for at least 30 days to allow complete carvonation of the support. Carefully brush or strip the surfaces and remove loose and flaking material. In case of restoration work,water infiltrations and leakages must be repaired. For the best results, it is recommended to apply the product directly on lime plasters or on existing coatings of lime paint once they have been carefully washed and brushed clean. Only if really necessary CONSOLIDANTE PER CALCE correctly diluted, can be used to consolidate very absorbent or powdering surfaces. On interior surfaces it is possible to apply the product on to already painted surfaces only after having carefully evaluated the adhesion of the product. Paints with low absorption levels should be sanded down to increase porosity and facilitate the adhesion of the product however if this is not sufficient, screed the surface with RASATURA ALLA CALCE.
Application Method
Apply by brush: first coat diluted 20 – 25% with drinkable water; second coat, after approximately 4 hours, diluted 25 – 30% with drinkable water.
