PLASTELUX

Sealer for Venetian stucco

  

DESCRIPTION

Plastelux is made from special, high-quality resin, mineral products, fillers, oxide pigments and various additives.  The decorative chip technique of Plastelux gives walls and ceilings a particularly aesthetic appearance, with a refined and elegant ambience.  The surface is smooth and glossy, graceful in form, rich in colour effects, structures and light-shade nuances.

The use of Stucco Lucido (masterpieces) originated in ancient times but reached its peak in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, particularly in the Venice region.  Plastelux is the splendid result of the rich experience of the stucco masters of that period. The particular properties of the stucco materials have been further refined by the use of modern production techniques.

USE

Plastelux can be used without any problem on almost any base, after the appropriate pre-treatment : on all types of new or painted plasterwork, concrete, plasterboard and wood bases and with a special primer on plastic (coatings) and metal.

Pre-treatment is not necessary if the base is plastered with plain plaster. 

 But if the plaster contains gypsum or has already been painted, a base coat of Corifondo should be applied.  If the base is not a stable background or comprises several coats of paint, lime paint or washable paint, it should be made smooth.  Residues should be removed and a base coat of Corifondo must be applied.  Wood bases must be treated with Corifondo wood impregnator. 2 to 3 coats of Plastelux should be applied, depending on the condition of the base, using a special flexible trowel made of spring band steel, until the surface is completely smooth and homogenous.  The flexible trowel or a palette knife is then used to produce the required surface structure.  To achieve the characteristic and typical effect of the Venetian plaster, Stucco Lucido, the product should be applied until a uniform and perfect gloss finish is achieved.  The same tool can be used for polishing the surface as for applying the product.  Another option is to use a cotton cloth.  If Plastelux is used as a final coat, the base coat can be Venestuk.

If, for the last application, Plastelux is applied on top of Venestuk, there is no need to apply wax.  Plastelux is washable and dirt-repellent and can be treated in the same way as a lacquered surface.

A waxed stucco surface can only be repaired to a limited extent.  Plastelux can be easily patched and reapplied without leaving streaks.

 

PACKAGING

NOTES

Because of the composition of the product (lime), avoid contact with the skin and particularly with the eyes.  In the event of contact rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.  Keep out of reach of children.  Plastelux should be stored in a cool, dry place, at a minimum temperature of 3°C.  The product will then keep for an unlimited period in its original packaging and will retain its properties.  Once opened, the packaging should be hermetically sealed again after use.
