Rasante B2007 MGN - Description

Rasante B-2007 MGN it is an air lime based levelling / finishing plaster. Containing a non-chemical natural water-repellent (hydrophobic) ingredient, it protects the plastering from wind driven rain and the effects of bad weather while at the same time guarantees the natural breathability of the wall fabric.

When applied as a lime finish on external thermal rendering, it sheds the rainwater, protecting the lime render from becoming soaked by rain, allowing it to stay dry, retaining its thermal performance.

Application

Here are some key technical points about how to apply this material correctly:

Finishing

Mixing: mix the material with clean tap water only without adding anything else (no other material or additive), until a homogenous, creamy-consistency mix is obtained.

Recommended thickness of the finish: 3-4 mm. For best results, the finish should be applied in two “half-coats” of 2 mm each, with a fine 3-4 mm fibreglass mesh embedded in-between. The mesh makes the finish more flexible, minimizing the appearance of fine cracks.

Various textured finishes can be achieved, depending on the finishing technique used:
- Coarse finish: by finishing the surface with a sponge or wooden trowel.
- Smooth finish: by using a stainless steel trowel, compressing and smoothing the semi-dry surface, the sand granules are pushed into the material, resulting in a smooth finish.
- Washed finish: by finishing the surface with a sponge trowel. After the surface has hardened, the surface is washed with water and blotted with a sponge to bring out the aggregate, its specific texture and colour.

Painting: as this is a breathable lime plaster, wall surfaces should be painted with a breathable mineral paint. Wallpapers and modern emulsion petrol-based paints, with no or limited breathability, should be avoided.

Application conditions: ambient and wall temperatures must be between +5 to +30°C during application. Surfaces should be protected from rain and humidity until they have completely dried (approx. 3 – 10 days depending on weather conditions).
