GENERAL FEATURES

Teodorico is a lime-based finishing plaster coat, specially formulated for the decoration of prestigious interior and exterior, made of hydrated putty, fine marble powder, selected inert and rheological modifiers, which guarantees a perfect workability of the product.

With its formulation, Teodorico permits to achieve a uniform and semi-polished finishing coat, similar to marble stone, creating soft and vibrant shades.

Teodorico Gold, Silver or Bronze give to the surface also an additional decorative element.

USES

Teodorico is indicated for the decoration of prestigious exterior and interior surfaces.

Natural lime plasters represent Teodorico’s most suitable substrate, since the product reacts chemically with them, building up a unique “body” able to preserve the lime coating for a longer period of time.

With its high vapor-permeability, Teodorico is recommended to preserve the permeability rate of the substrate.

In addition Teodorico allows to obtain an extremely elegant decoration of interiors.

Following the correct instructions for the surface preparation, Teodorico may also be applied on:

• Lime and cement mortars
• Premixed renderings
• Pre-existing lime and gypsum plasters
• Moisture-permeable plasters
• Gypsum plasterboard

APPLICATION

The substrate must be perfectly smooth, dry, dust-free, with no humidity and salt stains. Resurface or consolidate the surface with specific products if necessary.

In case of mould, treat the surface with suitable specific products. Brush or remove any efflorescence and old peeling paint. Higher layers of old lime-based paint and tempera paint must be removed. Brush out dust, smog or other deposits before the application.

In case of non-homogeneous or chalky surfaces, apply one layer of Decofix (micronized wall sealer) diluted, with a brush.

Over dry and compact substrates, apply one layer of Novaprimer (water-based acrylic pigmented primer), diluted, with a brush.

In case of rustic substrates, it is recommended to level it with Marmur Fine or eventually with Marmur Medio, or both of them. On dry substrate, apply one smooth coat of Teodorico, with stainless steel trowel.

Wait for few minutes and polish the surface with dry glove, removing eventual exceeding amount of product, if any.

Remove eventual imperfections or exceeding amounts of product. Wait the surface dries out, then apply a second coat of Teodorico with stainless steel trowel and, before it completely dries out, complete the surface with stainless steel gloss trowel for stuccos.

To improve the visual effect, it is recommended to keep the surface wet, compressing it, until obtaining the desired textured.

RECOMMENDATIONS

During the entire application process, the product must protected from cold and high heat changes.

Do not apply with air, substrate and product temperature lower than +5°C and higher than +35°C, nor under direct sun light, nor on superheated surfaces (even if already in shadow).

Environmental humidity must be less than 75%; substrate humidity must be greater than 10%.

It is advisable to complete each work with materials from the same batch of production. When using multiple batches, it is recommended to remix the various products together to avoid slight differences in shading.

For the correct use, dilution and application of the products here mentioned, consult their respective technical data sheets.

During the preparation of the substrate and application of the products, it is recommended the correct use of tools and individual protective devices (dpi).

Dilution: Ready-to-use. Max dilution with water: 100% depending on the brightness rate required.

Yield: 2-3 Kg/m² for 2 coats, depending on the kind of substrate and its absorption rate
