What is Cocciopesto?
Cocciopesto is a type of metakaolin consisting of minutely crushed brick fragments. It has been used in ancient times to create mortar and plaster with remarkable durability and resistance. When mixed with slaked lime and sand, it forms a hydraulic plaster known as opus signinum, perfect for underlayers of fresco wall painting.
Properties of Cocciopesto
One of the key benefits of Cocciopesto is its low water permeability, making it an ideal choice for construction projects that require long-lasting results. Additionally, its hydraulic properties provide added strength and durability to mortar and plaster.
Using Cocciopesto for Mortar and Plaster
To get the most out of Cocciopesto, mix it with slaked lime and sand to create a hydraulic plaster with cementious or hydraulic properties. This mixture can then be used for a variety of construction projects, including walls, floors, and ceilings.
