Marseglia Calce Srl

MARSEGLIA CALCE S.R.L. PRESENTS

HER MAJESTY THE TRADITIONAL GREASE CREAM.

THE COMPANY STILL PRODUCES IT IN ANCIENT AND ARTISAN METHODS.

BINDER TO BE USED IN SAFETY IN MONUMENTAL - HISTORICAL RECOVERY, IN CONSERVATIVE AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESTORATION, IN HISTORICAL CENTERS, IN THE SECTOR OF CIVIL BUILDING AND BIO-BUILDING.

In our traditional grease cream, we keep the four main elements of our planet:

EARTH - FIRE - WATER - AIR;

It is stimulating to take a block of calcium carbonate from the quarry located in the EARTH, split it to obtain boulders of various sizes, and then cook them in FIRE to make them become Porous Friable and Reactive, and then extinguish them in WATER to make them Soft, Plastic and Workable. , at the end apply it to see it return Solid and Tenacious thanks to the contact of the AIR, so that it returns to its initial state of the calcium carbonate mass, collected from the EARTH.

With this analogy, we tell the quality of our Ancient Artisan Production, which in a completely Natural and Ecological way, we obtain an excellent BINDER used for millennia in the World Construction.

La Marseglia Calce S.R.L.

Still aware of its Ancient Production Quality, processed according to the Ancient Artisan methods of the past,

• RE-PROPOSES IT as the best Natural and Ecological binder

• TO BE RE-EMPLOYED in Historic Monumental Recovery, Conservative, Archaeological Restoration, Historic Centers, Civil Construction and Green Building.

IN FACTS IT IS THE ONLY BINDER

That over time continue to SELF-CONSOLIDATE, thanks to its chemical composition - and the porous and transpiring structure.

Its SELF-REPAIR occurs due to the presence of CALCIUM HYDROXIDE still present in the mortar with CARBONIC ACID present in atmospheric aerosols.

With this reaction, new CALCIUM CARBONATE salts are produced, creating new bridges of union between CALCIUM CARBONATE AND INERT, and which constitute the SUPPORTING STRUCTURE of the plaster.

Once the water has evaporated, the new CRYSTALS settle in the cracks and CARBONATE, saturating the texture of the plaster.

By returning to the area the initial COMPACTNESS IS MECHANICAL RESISTANCE as well as reducing the PENETRATION OF LIQUID WATER.

IN FACT THE INTEGRITY OF THE WALL JOINT MORTARS, THE PLASTERS AND ITS DECORATIONS CAN STILL BE OBSERVED IN THE ANCIENT STRUCTURES, STILL IN PERFECT STATE OF PRESERVATION.

THE HISTORY OF MARSEGLIA CALCE S.R.L.

LA MARSEGLIA CALCE, began its activity even before the 50s, the founder was Antonio Marseglia, by virtue of his work experience acquired from a young age with other professionals, he began his business in an artisan way in his possessions, cooking the limestone in the so-called hand furnaces, that is piles of stones arranged in a spiral with ring growth and rounded system. The bundles were inserted at the base of the heap and, in order not to disperse the heat inside the pile, it was covered with earth from the top to descend throughout the surface. This was the method used since ancient times. The precious calcium oxide obtained from cooking pure limestone was sold in the province of Brindisi and part of the Puglia region.

In the 60s by virtue of the continuous professional growth, made up of great consensus of requests for calcium oxide, Antonio proceeded and started and renewed the new industrial site "Tino Villanova" from this period the entrepreneurial development began, building the oven "currently still in use for the production "for the gentle wood firing of limestone, this type of oven is the one that has always been used over the millennia to optimally cook limestone, IT IS A VERTICAL TIN OVEN WITH NATURAL DRAFT WITH CONTINUOUS COOKING CYCLE WOOD-BURNING SWEET AND VARIOUS 14/15 DAY COOKING, to obtain a valuable homogeneous reactive calcium oxide,

IN THE 1970s, with the growth in construction and the continuous requests of customers for the finished product, Antonio began the production of the traditional lime putty cream, building huge tanks for seasoning.

IN THE 90's MARSEGLIA ANTONIO, continuing in the prestigious growth of the Clientele, obtained for the quality of its calcium oxide and the care of the finished product, renewing and expanding its innovative plant always in Tino di Villanova.

IN THE YEARS 2000 THE CHILDREN TAKE OVER, and Marseglia Calce S.r.l. is born, continuing in the path indicated by the Father, maintaining all those methodologies acquired and handed down from Grandfather to the Father and transmitted to children in the daily work, in the production of wood cooking up to the care of maturing in vats, to continue for MORE THAN 72 YEARS to produce the excellent lime fat cream of the past.

THE PROPERTIES OF OUR AIRPLANE BINDER

Our traditional lime putty cream seasoned for different uses at three months - six months - ten months, is used as a binder with sands at various granulometric scales, to package excellent historical mortars and amalgams on site in the MONUMENTAL - HISTORICAL - sector. ARTISTIC - ARCHAEOLOGICAL - HISTORICAL CENTERS - CIVIL AND BIO-BUILDING.

The mixture obtained offers excellent overall stability in retaining the granules of the mixed sands, as well as providing perfect adhesion to the walls, the ability of the mortar to remain vertically compact, excellent malleability in the application, consequently limiting the loss. of mortar by falling to the ground.

These results are obtained essentially due to its natural characteristics in VISCOSITY, PASTOSITY, DENSITY, ADHESION, THIXOTROPICITY.

NATURAL ECOLOGICAL BINDER

for its undisputed properties it is recognized in

POROSITY, BREATHABILITY, DEHUMIDIFYING, ANTIFREEZE, ANTI-MOLD,

it is perfectly compatible in Ancient masonry, once applied it continues to preserve the healthiness of the Buildings and decorated surfaces with durability over time, as well as being perfectly reversible over time.

in the long run it does not give form to compositions of caustic soluble salt by-products or to efflorescence or to water retention.

ADDITIONAL FEATURE OF OUR TRADITIONAL BINDER

its natural percentage of free lime water (calcium hydroxide) "NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH MAINS WATER" present in its mass allows our binder, once mixed with the sands in the right quantities and granulometry, to obtain excellent mortars for workability and plasticity, preserving the final mechanical strength of the packaged mortars.

FOR THIS FEATURE

adding water to the mix SHOULD BE AVOIDED.

● while it is advisable to take care to wet the surfaces to be treated to excess, even the evening before application.

OUR TRADITIONAL LIME FAT FAT CREAM,

seasoned at 6 months and at 10 months, due to its EQUAL ALKALINITY it is suitable for COLORING WITH EARTH OR NATURAL PIGMENTS, obtaining a colored binder and ready to be mixed with sands of various granulometry, obtaining colored mortar. With this ancient system, the subsequent finishing and painting phases are avoided, reducing both the time and costs of carrying out the work.

OUR AIR LIME CAN BE MADE HYDRAULIC by adding at the time of mixing the mortars (binder + siliceous aggregates) fine aggregates of reactive products of silica oxide / alumina oxide etc ...,

Which are the fine sands originating from volcanic eruptions such as pozzolana, azole, lapilli, trass, etc ...

While cocciopesto and kaolin (they are derived from the firing of "aluminum silicate" clays are highly hydraulic and compatible by affinity with our traditional binder, calcium hydroxide.

WITH THIS SIMPLE MIXTURE IT IS COMPOSED ON SITE THE ANCIENT ROMAN CEMENTUM

THE ANCIENT ROMAN CEMENTUM

IT IS A NATURAL AND ECOLOGICAL HYDRAULIC BINDER, without impurities or industrial additives, already used by the Phoenix Civilization.

The duration of this excellent hydraulic mortar is proven over time, and the monuments built by the Roman Empire can still be seen, still in a perfect state of conservation, whether located in harsh climates and in marine climates, or immersed in sea water (ancient walls of the moorings of the Roman ports)

TRADITIONAL LIME FAT CREAM MORTARS, both aerial and hydraulic,

they are recommended in the interventions of conservative restoration and in the recovery of historical monuments - artistic, civil and green building, since they are "softer, more natural, elastic and ecological" than cements and other hydraulic binders.
