ᐅ Caparol Sylitol bio interior paint on lime-cement plaster – any experiences?

We would like to paint our new build with this color. On lime-cement plaster.

A good choice – we have painted almost our entire house with it – the lime-cement plaster in the basement and the lime-gypsum plaster in the living areas, the concrete ceilings, and even the fiberglass wallpapers. It provides excellent coverage, is easy to apply thanks to its creamy consistency, and hardly drips at all. Highly recommended.

Best regards

Axel

Hello Axel,
two coats were recommended to us. The first coat with 10 - 15% water and the second coat with 5%. Did you do it that way as well?
Best regards

Hello Susi,

We only painted the basement once—with undiluted paint. The same applies to the walls in the study, since there are shelves all around. Otherwise, we always painted twice, but also always with undiluted paint.

Wishing you good luck,

Axel

We didn’t use this exact color, but we also applied a silicate paint on lime-cement plaster. The first coat was diluted to about 7%, and the second coat was applied undiluted. Ten percent was a bit too thin, but this can vary depending on the manufacturer. Make sure to let each coat dry completely before applying the next one; otherwise, it won’t work properly! Unlike dispersion paints, do not apply the next coat after just one hour—wait a full day. Avoid hot or dry indoor air and drafts during application and drying. The paint needs time to cure and bond with the plaster and should dry slowly.

If you want different shades, only mix with the recommended tinting colors or alkaline-resistant pigments (e.g., from Kreidezeit); all others will fade.

We also used Sylitol paint and are completely satisfied. We applied two coats, both undiluted. However, this was on lime plaster!
