Travertine effect texture paint (often referred to as Travertino) is a premium decorative coating that captures the timeless, porous beauty of Italian limestone. For coating factories, it offers a high-profit opportunity: a luxury architectural finish that is easy to manufacture using a standard high-speed disperser, yet commands a premium price in the decorative market.
Professional Travertino Formulation (Technical Specifications)
Achieving the delicate balance of a stone-like texture requires a precise travertine paint formulation. Our formula focuses on graded sand distribution (70-90 mesh) to create depth without sacrificing workability.
Base: Water (137), Propylene Glycol (10), AMP-95 (1).
Fillers: R-996 Titanium Dioxide (20), 325 Mesh Calcium Carbonate (405).
Texture Sands: 70-80 Mesh (200), 90 Mesh (50).
Additives: Dispersant 409 (5), Coalescing Agent (10), PTF Thickener (Adjustable).
Mastering the Application: From Scraping to Refining
The aesthetic quality of the travertine look depends on a specific three-step application technique:
Application: Use a trowel to apply an even base layer.
Creation: Immediately use the edge or back of the trowel to create the characteristic “pits” or pores.
Refining: After 15-20 minutes, perform a detailed “refining” process. Since our formula uses fine 70-90 mesh sand, this step ensures a smooth, burr-free surface that feels like real stone.
FAQ: Manufacturing and Business Growth
One of the biggest advantages for manufacturers is that it only requires a high-speed disperser. No complex sand mills or specialized grinders are needed, making it an ideal “entry-level” product for factories moving into high-end decorative paints.
Yes. Our formulation utilizes water-based technology with low-VOC coalescing agents and AMP-95, meeting modern environmental standards for indoor air quality and sustainable construction.
