CLIMAFIN
The ALL IN ONE Breathable Interior Coating System
CLIMAFIN is a ready to use compound finishing mix used for heat + water + sound
insulation for the interior walls. With an alkalinity of 10.5 ph and good aspiration properties,
it provides healthy environment living conditions, preventing moist, mould and mildew and
fungus formation. Being manufactured from 98% sustainable naturally occurring inorganic
components, specifically expanded recycled glass, it is a nontoxic, zero VOC (volatile
organic compound), harmless and safe product to use.

INSTRUCTIONS GUIDE
1. CLIMAFIN surface preparation
The application surface should be clean and free of any dust, paint and grease or lose
materials before applying CLIMAFIN.
2. CLIMAFIN product preparation
Between 8 to 8.5 liters of water will be used for the mixing process and a mechanical mixer
with max. 600 rotations/min.
1. Empty a small amount of water into the container to begin with. To prevent the flow of
contents, cut the bag at the lower side. Carefully and slowly empty the FULL contents
of a 12kg bag of CLIMAFIN into the flat-bottom container (Do not use part bags
mixes).
2. Set the mixer at slow-speed, add the rest of water to the dry mixture and begin
mixing so that no dry material escapes the mixing process.
3. After the material has absorbed all the water, the mixing process should be carried
out for at least 6 minutes with the mixer at high-speed, until the desired consistency
is achieved.
4. Be sure to periodically stop the mixing process and using a trowel scrape the bottom
and the sides of the container to ensure again that no dry material has escaped the
mixing process. It is essential that the product achieves a homogeneous state, i.e. is
uniform in composition or character, all dry material must be mixed in.
5. Once mixing is complete, let the product stand for a further 5 minutes before use and
be sure to use the entire mixture within 2 hours of preparation. If the mixture has been
standing for a while and has become slightly stiff, add a small amount of water while
mixing to soften.
PLEASE NOTE:
It is important to reiterate again two of the most important factors when it comes to the mixing of CLIMAFIN.
1. Ensure that the ENTIRE BAG is used during preparation. CLIMAFIN consists of a number of natural
ingredients, and so it is therefore important to ensure that the entire contents of the bag are used.
2. Secondly, during the mixing process ensure that no dry material escapes the mixing process. Start to mix
slowly until the material has absorbed all the water and use a trowel to scrap the bottom and the sides of the
container to ensure that no dry material remains.
3. CLIMAFIN application
Depending on the project needs CLIMAFIN can be applied in one layer of 1-3mm thickness.
Apply CLIMAFIN on the wall by hand using a stainless steel trowel in an upward motion and
build the material up to the required thickness. Run a stainless steel trowel over the area to
finish.
You will soon become familiar with the time required to get the desired finish and will be able to adjust techniques
to meet your needs. Note that times may vary depending on atmospheric conditions.
4. PAINTING
Very important: do not use acrylic or epoxy based paints.
After 40 hours (in normal dry conditions) the surface should be ready for painting. A
“breathable” paint must be used in order to maintain the vapor permeability of the coating.
We advise mineral paints, lime or silicate based.

Additional information:
• It should be noted that CLIMAFIN is not sand & cement coating and as such will “handle” differently.
• Time should be taken to become accustomed to its unique characteristics and handling.
• Training on the application of CLIMAFIN is available if required.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
1. First Aid
Inhalation: Avoid dust inhalation and seek fresh air if required.
Eye contact: Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water, if irritation persists, consult a
doctor.
Ingestion: Drink plenty of water and consult a doctor.
Skin: Wash with water and dry.
2. Exposure controls, personal protection
Components values: Content limits for general dust 6 mg / m3
Respiratory protection: Use of standard PPE facemasks if necessary
Hand protection: Not applicable
Eye Protection: Goggles if necessary
Skin protection: Not applicable
Hygiene: Not applicable
