Cocciopesto Deumidificante

Description

COCCIOPESTO DEUMIDIFICANTE MGN is part of a lime plastering system for damp walls and basements, and it’s composed of two products:

1. RINZAFFO MGN: Roman lime base coat developed in the 1980s in Venice to the problem of rising damp, penetrating damp and salts. This is a breathable salt resistant lime base coat, which protects subsequent plaster coats from the destructive effect of liquid moisture and salts.
2. COCCIOPESTO DEUMIDIFICANTE MGN, a lime main coat, a mix of lime, cocciopesto and volcanic pozzolans. Thanks to the added pozzolans this plaster coat becomes salt resistant (to sulphates, chlorides and nitrates), lasting significantly longer in a damp environment than normal plaster coats.

This plastering system provides a robust, long-term, heritage-friendly solution to:

• High-intensity rising damp
• Severe penetrating damp
• Heavy salt crystallization problems

and as such, it can be used with excellent results

• In any coastal or marine environment
• For the restoration and renovation of historic buildings
• For farm and barn conversions.

It is a highly breathable plastering system, allowing the excess humidity to evaporate, without allowing the water-soluble salts to reach the surface. The performance of the plastering system has been proven by over 40 years of experience and thousands of interventions on building sites throughout Venice.

There is another variation of this plastering system with no cocciopesto, using the RISANAMUR B80 MGN lime plaster as the main plastering coat, with the same proven results.
