BOERO Casasana: the solution for mold on walls
The presentation of BOERO Casasana: the definitive solution to the problem of mold on walls. The physical characteristics and methods of application of BOERO's innovative wall covering.
Casasana is not the usual anti-mold paint, but a wall covering with thermal and acoustic insulating characteristics.
We don't present yet another one anti-mold paint containing a fungicide, but a highly innovative and technological product, a thermal and acoustic insulating paint, which acts at the root of the mold problem.
Why an insulating paint? Why does mold form on walls?
The cause of mold is to be found inexcessive amount of steam present in heated environments during the winter, combined with the presence of points on the walls where the temperature is below the so-called dew temperature. High humidity combined with cold are the essential elements to create a perfect ecosystem in which mold can proliferate.
How can I solve the mold problem?
You can essentially act in 2 ways:
- through thewall insulation Thermal bridges that create cold areas on the walls are eliminated.
- Yes monitors environmental humidity, keeping it in a range between 40% and 60%.
How does BOERO Casasana solve the mold problem?
Casasana painting contains hollow glass microspheres, which create a multiple glass/air/glass system on the support which reduces the passage of heat towards the outside keeping the wall warmer. The presence of glass microspheres gives characteristics of thermo-acoustic insulation to painting, also thanks to the presence of a broad-spectrum anti-mold additive of action is preventedattack and proliferation of fungal spores.
By acting directly on the physics of the support BOERO Casasana turns out to be the right paint for particularly humid rooms due to condensation.
Physical and application characteristics
Here she is summary table with physical characteristics(specific weight, viscosity, drying time and practical yield) e applications(application method, thinners and dilution) of BOERO Casasana.
| Specific weight at 20° | 0.80± 0.02 |
|---|---|
| Viscosity | thixotropic |
| Drying (by coating) | 8h |
| Practical performance | 4m2/l for brush finishing; for roller finishing, varies depending on the thickness. The heat-insulating and sound-absorbing power varies depending on the thickness (minimum 200-300 microns) |
| Application method | Brush, roller spray with low pressure devices |
| Diluent | Waterfall |
| Dilution | 25 parts of water per 100 of product for a smooth finish; 3-5 parts of water per 100 of product. (parts by weight) |
