What is lime paint?
Our ready-to-use and environmentally friendly lime paint gives walls and ceilings a radiant white finish. Thanks to the highly opaque marble powders, the paint is easy to apply. Our formulation completely dispenses with synthetic resin binders and the white pigment titanium dioxide. The brilliant marble powders and bright white marble lime are completely sufficient for a matt, radiant white colour.
Ingredients:
- Hydrated lime
- Water
- Marble flour
- Dolomite flour
- Clay earth
- Beech wood cellulose

Advantages of lime paint
- Use of harmless raw materials for a healthy living environment
- Neutral odour and moisture regulation
- Mould-inhibiting and fungicidal properties
- Antistatic and dust-repellent effect
- Matt, highly opaque marble white
Preparation of the substrate
The substrate must be dry and free from separating substances such as oil stains. Poorly adhering layers should be removed with a wire brush or spatula. If necessary, a casein primer can be used to strengthen the substrate
Can lime paint also be tinted in different colours?
Our Marble Lime Paint can be tinted with all colour pigments except micaceous iron oxide. Up to 10 per cent by weight of pigments can be added to the lime paint. For 13 kg of colour, this corresponds to 1.3 kg of dry colour. The lime putty cannot bind a higher quantity, which would result in chalking of the colour. The pigments are first mixed into a colour dough and then added to the lime paint. You can find instructions on how to make the colour dough here. For a coloured coat, it is recommended to apply one or two white base coats with a lime brush or roller. The coloured coat is best applied with a lime brush. Unevenly absorbent substrates can cause blotchy results; pre-treatment with casein primer can help here.
Consumption and application
On smooth substrates, the consumption is approx. 130-150 g/m² per coat. It is recommended to apply two coats. Depending on the absorbency of the substrate, the lime paint can be diluted with up to 1 litre of water per bucket. A previous coat of casein primer helps to equalise the absorbency of the substrate, facilitates application and reduces paint consumption. The full covering capacity of the lime paint only becomes apparent after complete drying.
