Nanolime consolidation

Service

Eco-consolidation with nanolime

Degradation of stone surfaces jeopardises the integrity of the original work. Consolidation restores cohesion. NANOLAQ is a consolidating suspension of calcium hydroxide nanoparticles dispersed in water, obtained by an innovative, sustainable synthesis — no additives and no VOC emissions.

Main qualities

  • Restores mechanical resistance to a depth of 1–2 cm
  • Can be applied on damp substrates
  • Does not alter porosity or breathability
  • Does not alter the chemical or mineralogical composition of carbonate substrates
  • No VOCs; absorbs CO₂ while carbonating
  • Respects the health of operators
