OxiGen Limewash White

A lime-based mineral paint for interior walls and façades on concrete, cement render, plaster, gypsum, brick and other mineral substrates. High hiding power, strong adhesion without forming a film and a matte mineral finish. Highly breathable, it helps prevent condensation and is free of solvents and microplastics.

  • High hiding power in a true lime white
  • Adheres without forming a film — the wall keeps breathing
  • Helps prevent condensation on cold walls
  • Free of solvents and microplastics

LIME-BASED MINERAL FINISH

Traditional limewash character without traditional limewash limitations. OxiGen™ Limewash combines artisanal lime with CaCO₃™ Technology (Graphene Technology) to create a premium, breathable finish with natural depth, movement and a beautifully matte appearance. Create an authentic hand-applied limewash effect or a more uniform mineral finish—all with the durability expected for modern spaces.

How to apply it

  1. Prepare: Dry, clean and salt-free. Prime only where your wall needs it. (24 h if primed)
  2. Base coat: Primer Plus — required for the cloud effect. (2–4 h)
  3. 1st coat: Even look: roller at 10% water. Cloud look: large brush, 0–5% water, soft rounded strokes. (2–4 h)
  4. 2nd coat: Same technique. Even look at 5%; a 3rd coat on exposed exterior walls. (24 h dry)
  5. Cure: Lime hardens as it carbonates: no washing or scrubbing for 30 days. Exterior: no rain for 4 days. (30 days)

Questions

How much will I need?

Coverage: 365–445 sq ft/gal per coat. Two coats recommended (three on exposed exterior walls). Use the project calculator on this page — it rounds up to full containers.

Can I put it over my painted walls?

Not over latex or other film-forming paint: lime needs a mineral surface to bond with, so that paint has to come off first. Over bare plaster, concrete, stucco or matte mineral paint, it goes straight on; drywall and brick take a coat of Primer L44 first. Tell us what's on your wall and we'll spec it.

Does limewash rub off? Is it washable?

A little chalk while it cures is normal; heavy dusting means it went over a sealed surface or on too thick. Once fully cured (30 days), OxiGen™ Limewash offers Class 1 scrub resistance, the durability expected for modern spaces.

Do I need anything else?

Only the primer your surface needs: pick your surface under How it works and we'll show the one primer it needs, if any. Primer Plus: required — for the Cloud Effect: one base coat of Primer Plus on the prepared wall. TerraGen™ PU Water-Repellent: recommended in wet areas — bathrooms and kitchens (it reduces breathability). Not sure? Tell us what's on your wall and we'll help you choose.

Where can I use it?

Interior and exterior. Concrete, Cement stucco, Plaster, Gypsum, Brick, Mineral substrates.

What's the recoat time?

2–4 h / 24 h / 30 days (at 77 °F and 60% RH; cold or humid conditions extend it).

How long does an unopened pail keep?

18 months in the original, sealed container.
