Its high transpiration together with the carbonation reaction gives the paint excellent adhesion to mineral substrates without flaking. In addition, the natural calcium oxide composition of the product makes it resistant to attacks by bacteria and fungi, thus fighting the formation of mold inside buildings.

When diluted, it creates a dimensional surface with both light and dark shades of the particular base color of the paint itself.
