Description
ArgiLolla MGN is a premixed mortar based on very high-purity air lime (over 90% calcium hydroxide), a small percentage of natural white hydraulic lime, washed river sands without impurities, clay and rice husk.
Due to the extremely high-quality raw materials it is suitable for bio/green buildings, both internally or externally.
Here are some of the benefits of the clay based plasters:
- Antistatic: the addition of clay to the plaster slows down the degradation and breakdown of plaster, reducing the risk of dust inhalation, contributing to the prevention of respiratory diseases such as asthma and allergies.
- Odour absorber: clay being a colloid (mix of insoluble particles), it can greatly reduce dust, gas and odours present in the air, keeping the environment clean and healthy.
- Humidity regulator: it absorbs water from the air when it is too damp, and exhales it when the air is too dry. This way the relative humidity is maintained in optimal conditions between 50% and 70%.
- Thermal regulator: it has good thermal inertia so it keeps temperature of the rooms stable.
- Sound absorber: it has excellent sound-absorbing properties, especially in large rooms, where under normal conditions rumbles and unpleasant sounds could occur. Clay plaster absorbs low-frequency sounds, thus improving living comfort.
- Electrosmog absorber: according to a study by prof. Schneider of Moncao di Baviera, 2.5 cm of clay plaster removes 75% of the radiation developed by a high voltage system. A wall built with normal raw clay bricks can eliminate up to 98%.
- Versatile: Thanks to the many properties of raw clay, it can be used in any type of construction, old or new.
- Fire resistant: clay makes the fibrous aggregates of natural origin (e.g. straw) fireproof.
