Painting

One of the most common natural and natural paints is based on lime.
It contains water and slaked lime aged, filtered, and milled, amorphous calcium carbonate and / or crystalline, talc, mica, kaolin, barite, borax, thickeners such as bentonite, multicellular, starch or flour guar gum, organic substances such as animal egg (yolk and / or egg white), milk, beeswax, vegetable oil, linseed oil and then essential oils.
lime at the same time acts as a binder, pigment, and disinfectant because the high acidity of the material has a bactericidal effect and mold.
This painting is highly resistant to moisture, can absorb odors, but is not very durable and needs to be applied cyclically every 2-3 years.
Its application is not too much better on smooth surfaces in order to preserve its
adhesion to the substrate. Adherence can also be improved by adding a binder such as casein in the dough.
Although the very fine lime paint retains a roughness that makes it very suitable for
be used on perfectly smooth surfaces such as cartogesso.
To color the paint should be used only natural lands.
Without another word, very green + + +
