Rinzaffo MGN, waterproof, salt proof and breathable lime base coat
Fully breathable. Made from natural raw materials with no added chemicals or cement. It does not require the use of salt neutralising (anti-sulphate or anti-nitrate) chemicals.
Coverage
At 10 mm thickness 1 x 25 kg will cover 1.5m2
Long lasting
Because it can withstand the effects of salts and dampness for a long time without breaking down.
Typical application example of the Rinzaffo MGN lime plaster in Venice: degraded, salty masonry in direct contact with water
Does not create static stress
Because it regulates the evaporation of humidity from those old walls that over the centuries have reached a static equilibrium. The controlled evaporation gradually lowers the moisture level of the walls until a new equilibrium is reached.
Areas of Application
Because the plaster is both waterproof and breathable, it is suitable for specialist applications such as:
• A base coat for re-plastering after rising or penetrating damp
• A render against driving rain
• A lime-based “tanking slurry” to make basements or cellars waterproof
• A plaster against the damp patches or the crystallization of salts around old fireplaces and chimney stacks, a frequent problem in old buildings
• A waterproof floor base to prevent flooding in pressure water or high water table situations
