Sanacolor 2000 MGN - Description

The SANACOLOR 2000 MGN is primarily used as a coloured lime render primarily for external use, but it can also be used internally as a coloured plaster. 

When applied together with the Rinzaffo MGN salt-resistant Roman base coat it forms the Sanacolor 2000 MGN Dehumidifying Render System.

It has exceptional performance that fits perfectly into the historical environment:

  • It is macro-porous lime coat with high moisture evaporation capacity, facilitating the drying-out of a damp wall fabric, and allowing the walls to breathe
  • Resistant to frost and wind abrasion
  • It protects the masonry against wind driven rain, aerosol and salt spray by repelling liquid water
  • Has very long life expectancy, easily lasting more than 20 years without maintenance

As it’s coloured in mass, no finishing plaster or painting is necessary, saving time and money upon application. Any type of rendered finish can be created (e.g. smooth, coarse etc.) depending on the finishing technique and tools used by the plasterer. 

This product is available in 24 colours - 12 pastel colours (options 01-12) and 12 mediterranean colours (options 101-112), including white (option 01).

Product Combinations

Although all MGN plasters can be used on their own, in many applications they perform best when certain materials are applied together as a plastering system complementing and reinforcing each other.

Here are some other plasters which are recommended to be used with this one.

Application

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

  • Clean the masonry: the plaster must be applied on a cleaned and uniformly wet substrate. All crumbling and loose parts must be removed by brushing so the masonry is free of dust, salts and oils. If possible, also wash the walls with a pressure washer; this will clean and wet the walls in one go. Close larger holes with lime mortar and pieces of bricks.
  • 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. 
  • Application: apply the plaster in 10 mm coats.
  • Recommended thickness: the recommended application thickness is about 20 mm.
  • Additional coats can be applied in further 10 mm increments. Use an embedded fibreglass mesh for extra reinforcement over the recommended thickness.
  • Finishing: apply the last 5 mm of plaster as finish, creating the desired texture. Alternatively a fine plaster can also be applied, if needed (Rasante B2007 MGN) is recommended.  
  • 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 coloured plaster, it does not need painting. However, it can 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).
