Rasacol MGN
Flexible, non-cracking traditional lime finish, and breathable adhesive for tiles or insulating boards
Sticks very well to any type of insulating board and doesn’t crack, thanks to its natural resin content (<3%)
Typical applications: lime skim for plasterboard, lime finish for rigid insulation boards, breathable adhesive for tiles or insulating boards
One of our most versatile materials:
-Lime skim for gypsum plasterboards,
-Bridging plaster between insulating boards and lime plasters,
-Breathable insulating board adhesive (suitable for use with wood fibre, rockwool, cork, hemp or calcium silicate boards),
-Flexible lime finish for insulating boards,
-Breathable tile adhesive for lime plastered walls or limecrete floors,
-Non-cracking lime finish (just finish and go, no touch up needed)
-Lime finish for lime plasters, which are still wet (no time for drying)
Wood fibre and similar insulation panels are soft. As soon as you put lime plaster on it, the lime starts cracking and it might even come off. But there is a solution: Rasacol, a flexible lime mix, which is significantly more flexible than the board itself, as shown in the video.
It does stick very well to any sort of insulating board. Then you add render mesh, a second coat, and you can either paint it or apply coloured lime finishes, as a final touch.
Same thing for Rockwool boards, cork, reed mat, or even calcium silicate boards.
Testing The Quick, 24 hours Lime Plastering System
from the World Heritage Site of Venice
This is a newly developed lime plastering system from the Venice area, based on traditional Roman materials. Lime based, breathable – no cement, no chemicals.
The whole point of this system is that from hacking off the old plaster to decorating, the whole process can be done in one day.
The dark layer underneath is a one coat dehumidification plaster, which means that it can be applied onto salty and damp walls, as well. After about 6-8 hours it is solid enough to take the Rasacol lime finish, which is suitable for use on wet lime. Just a few hours later, you can start decorating, using lime wash paints.
