MARMORA ROMANA

OIKOS PAINTS: MARMORA ROMANA

Marmora Romana is a premium decorative mineral plaster by Oikos, composed of acrylic binders blended with fine marble powders (max 0.7mm grain size) sourced from Roman quarries and inorganic titanium dioxide pigments. The formulation delivers six distinct decorative effects, from the smooth luminosity of Lunare to the textured depth of Marina, each replicating the character of traditional Italian stucco finishes using modern, low-emission chemistry. With a VOC content of 10 g/L or less (certified under EU Directive 2004/42/CE, Class A/l) and a composition free from heavy metals, toxic solvents, aromatics, and chlorides, it provides strong indoor air quality performance alongside genuine aesthetic versatility. The plaster is breathable (vapour permeability Class V2, Sd = 1.03m) while maintaining low water absorption (Class W3, w = 0.041 kg/m².h⁰·⁵), protecting walls from moisture damage without trapping humidity inside the building envelope.
