LIME WASHED FINISH by OIKOS is a semi-transparent, mineral water based paint, formulated with lime putty and water repellent additives, studied to achieve a decorative, wash effect on interior and exterior lime coatings. LIME WASHED FINISH by OIKOS confers to the surfaces a soft and warm effect, creating tones of colour typical of the lime products of old. The product creates a stable link with the surface, maintaining the level of vapour permeability of the support. Its level of alkalinity prevents the development of mould and bacteria. LIME WASHED FINISH by OIKOS has low odour level, is non inflammable and is friendly to both humans and the environment.
