High Grade Clay Paint

Auro 331 is a new clay paint for living spaces. It is splash water resistant and therefore well suited for application in kitchens and bathrooms. The biogenic binding agent REPLEBIN®* guarantees professional product features, e.g. a good abrasion resistance (class 3, DIN 53778) and opacity (class 2).

AURO High-grade Natural Clay paint is the first ready-to-use clay paint on the market that has no preservatives at all. It is MI and BI free.

Wonderfully creamy white matt finish.

Thanks to Auro's ecological choice of raw materials and compliance with the strict AgBB criteria on emissions (a German evaluation scheme for VOC emission from construction products), this product is a special recommendation for use in living areas. It has a moisture regulating effect and is open to water vapour diffusion and highly breathable. It is especially recommended for use in sleeping rooms because the paint can store the humidity emitted during the night and release it again therefore improving air quality in the bedroom.

Roller application produces a fine and smooth coating because the light clay used in the product is not granular or sandy.

Thick coverage with great covering power and a very low tendency to drip or spatter. Suitable for most interior wall surfaces.

How to prep walls for painting

See the 331 Technical Data Sheet for full details, however in brief:

For previously painted walls

For surfaces that paint doesn't stick to easily and in situations where stains are coming through the walls, you might want to consider a using a Stain Block - either Auro 505 Fine Stain Block or Auro 506 Textured Stain Block.

For newly plastered walls

You can prime walls with:

a "Mist" coat of this paint (Auro 331 diluted with a maximum of 10% water), or
A Grip Coat of either Auro 505 Fine Stain Block or Auro 506 Textured Stain Block diluted by up to 10% or
on highly or irregularly absorptive substrates we recommend priming with AURO 301 Natural Plaster Primer.
