Description
Ecologic Lime Plaster TAKCOAT Platinum is a self-adhering interior/exterior lime plaster base coat that provides a permanent bond and allows for easy transition from sound substrates to successive coats of Ecologic Plaster TOPCOAT Platinum without the need for priming, sanding, installing lath, or using acrylic weld for plaster.
TAKCOAT Platinum is a pre-blended dry powder based on hydraulic lime and recycled glass aggregate, and it is specifically formulated to include self-adhering properties, with no VOCs.
Application
Use TAKCOAT Platinum on interior and exterior rigid, sound, masonry substrates as a base coat on historic structures and sustainable new buildings. It can also be used as a heavy-bodied whitewash. Simply add water, mix, and go to work. Dries bright white.
Can be used, both, indoors and outdoors.
