Product catalog summary
Product Overview: Biocalce® Muratura is a certified, eco-friendly, natural mortar designed for breathable building and historical restoration. It is composed of pure NHL 3.5 lime, compliant with EN 459-1, and is suitable for both internal and external masonry structures.
Specifications: The mortar is classified as M5 for compressive strength (50 kg/cm²) and is highly breathable, allowing walls to ventilate naturally. It contains natural ingredients such as siliceous washed river sand, dolomitic limestone, and fine white Carrara marble.
Applications: Ideal for the recovery and fragment-filling of load-bearing masonry structures made of clay, brick, tufa, stone, and mixed materials. It is particularly suited for construction, renovation, and restoration projects in the Edilizia del Benessere® (Building for Wellness) sector.
Preparation and Application: Mix one 25 kg bag with approximately 4.4 liters of clean water. The mortar can be applied using a trowel or plaster sprayer. Ensure substrates are clean, solid, and moistened before application. Avoid using on dirty or non-cohesive substrates.
Performance and Standards: Biocalce® Muratura meets EN 998-2 standards for masonry mortar, with a water capillary absorption of ≈ 0.7 kg/(m²·min0.5) and a reaction to fire class A1. It has very low VOC emissions and contributes to improved indoor air quality.
Environmental Impact: The product is recyclable as an inert material and has low CO2 emissions. It is designed to improve indoor air quality with natural bacteriostatic and fungistatic effects.
Warnings and Recommendations: Protect surfaces from direct sunlight and wind during application. Do not add cement to the mixture, as it may impair quality. For further safety information, consult the safety data sheet.

Biocalce® Muratura is particularly well suited as a construction, renovation and restoration mortar in Edilizia del Benessere® (Building for Wellness) in which the all-natural ingredients guarantee compliance with the required levels of porosity, hygroscopicity and breathability. Biocalce® Muratura is suitable for reconstruction work in Historical Restoration projects, where the choice of traditional materials such as natural lime, stone, marble and granite, mixed in carefully-studied proportions, guarantees conservative interventions in full respect of the existing structures and original materials. Do not use On dirty, non-cohesive, powdery substrates with interstitial salt deposits. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Preparation of substrates Masonry structures must be clean and solid, free from loose debris, dust and mould. Old walls must be carefully cleaned and remaining traces of previous processes removed (lime putty coverings, old finishing coats, etc.) as well as any interstitial salt deposits which could impair adhesion. Remove inconsistent rendering mortars from between the stones. Use Biocalce® Muratura and the fragmentfilling and/or break-fill techniques to rebuild missing sections of the wall and restore an even surface. Always wet substrates before reconstruction work with Biocalce® Muratura. * ÉMISSION DANS L’AIR INTÉRIEUR Information sur le niveau d’émission de substances volatiles dans l’air intérieur, présentant un risque de toxicité par inhalation, sur une échelle de classe allant de A+ (très faibles émissions) à C (fortes émissions).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Preparation To prepare Biocalce® Muratura, mix one 25 kg bag with about 4.4 ℓ of clean water. The mixture is obtained by pouring water into the container and then gradually adding the powder. The mixing process can be performed in a cement mixer, in a bucket (working manually or with a low-rev, mechanical stirring device) or using a continuous mixer until a smooth and lump-free mortar is obtained. Use all of prepared mixture; do not reuse it in subsequent mixings. Store the product in places protected against the heat in summer months and against the cold during the winter....
