GECO LIME finish

BREATHABLE FINISHING SKIM COAT BASED ON NATURAL HYDRAULIC LIME

GECO LIME finish is the breathable finishing skim coat of the GECO line, based on NHL 5 natural hydraulic lime and classified as a renovation mortar (EN 998-1 R). It completes the damp remediation system with an extra-smooth surface, without blocking the vapor leaving the wall.

With a maximum particle size of 0.02 in (0.5 mm) and a soft, workable consistency it is quick to apply in 0.039 to 0.197 in (1-5 mm) coats, with an alkali-resistant mesh embedded in the first coat. Controlled shrinkage minimizes cracking, and the finished surface is ready for breathable paints.
