Histolith Kalk-Kaseinfarbe

Suitable Substrates

The substrate must be solid, sound/stable, dry, clean, absorbent, and free from all substances that may prevent good adhesion. In Germany: Follow VOB, part C, DIN 18 363, section 3.

Substrate Preparation

New Plasters in Mortar Groups/Classes PI (Lime Plasters), PII (Lime-Cement Mortars)
and PIII (Cement Mortars):
New plasters must be left untreated for a sufficiently long holding time, minimum 4 weeks for mortar group PI and minimum 2 weeks for mortar groups PII and PIII. Remove sintered skin with Histolith^® Fluat.
Optionally Histolith^® Kalk-Kaseinfarbe is also applicable in fresco technique, approx. 24 hours after having applied the plaster coat. Colour differences and stains may appear, when tinted products are applied in fresco technique.

Unpainted Existing Plasters and Coats of Mineral Paint:
Carefully clean the surface and remove all layers/coatings of low adherence. 

Plaster Repairs:
Repair mortars should match the existing plaster in type and texture and must be allowed to set and harden thoroughly before being painted. Treat all repairs with Histolith^® Fluat and rinse with clean water.

Loam Rendering / Clay Plaster:
Clean the surface thoroughly and prime with Histolith^® Silikat-Fixativ. Check for brownish discolouration by a trial coating.

Natural Stones:
Only absorbent natural stones are suitable substrates. Always check for compatibility and apply a trial coating. Carefully clean the surface and remove all layers of low adherence. Strengthen sanding natural stones with stone sealer Histolith^® Steinfestiger.

Note: Natural stones with water-soluble substances of content may show efflorescence on the paint coat and visible stains may occur.

Mildewed/Mouldy Surfaces:
Wash off the fungal (fungi/mildew/mould) attack. Allow the surface to dry, then use Histolith^® Algenentferner (algae remover) and allow to dry. Prior consultation with our technical assistance is needed to obtain the correct surface coating system.

Method of Application

Apply the product on listed (landmarked) buildings/monuments preferably by paint brush.

Surface Coating System

Prepare the substrate thoroughly, then apply one priming and one finishing coat of Histolith^® Kalk-Kaseinfarbe, diluted to a max. of 10 % with tap (potable) water, depending on the substrate's absorbency.

Beforehand prime highly or unevenly absorbent mineral substrates with Histolith^® Silikat-Fixativ, diluted 2:1 to 1:1 with tap (potable) water, depending on the substrate's absorbency.

For coating large, seamless surfaces it is advisable to pre-wet the applied priming coat with clean water and to apply the finishing coat to the matt (flat) moist surface.

Consumption

Approx. 300 - 400 ml/m² for two coats on smooth substrates. On roughly textured surfaces correspondingly more. Determine the exact amount of material required by coating a test area on site.

Application Conditions

Lower Temperature Limit for Application and Drying:
+8 °C for product, substrate and ambient air.

Drying/Drying Time

At +20 °C and 65 % relative humidity surface-dry after 4-6 hours and recoatable after 24 hours.
Lower temperatures and higher humidity extend the drying time.

Tool Cleaning

Clean tools/equipment immediately after use with water.

Note

Noticeable colour deviations and stains may occur, depending on substrate condition. A trial coating on site is advisable in order to check for compatibility with the substrate. To avoid lapping, the material should be applied wet-on-wet and without interruption. 

Do not apply in moist rooms (damp locations).

Protective Measures:
The areas adjoining the surface to be painted should be carefully masked, in particular glass, ceramics, enamel/varnish coatings, clinkers, natural stone, metals and wood.
