JORDAN & CO is a Belgian family business that is dedicated to the development of long-lasting, high quality ecological paints produced in a traditional way with natural materials as linseed oil, subsequently lime, casein, etc.
What they proudly call “the smallest paintfactory in Belgium” – founded in 1963 – relies on experience, carefully built up during 3 generations beginning by grandfather and painter Frans Van Tongerloo.
The basic idea of their product development is always the actualisation of the older painting- and decoration techniques: adapting the ancient formulas to our modern ways.
They specialize in ‘Calcatex’: an ecological lime-based paint. But also produce natural oils and waxes for wood, floors, furniture, stone etc.

Most paints can be produced in almost any color: NCS, ral, Keim, Farrow & Ball, Little Green, Flamant, …

CALCATEX Limepaint
Calcatex Lime Paint is a artisanal and traditional lime-casein based wallpaint for interior as wel as exterior use. The Calcatex Lime Paints breathe, regulate humidity and are electrostaticaly neutral.

Lime paint is an integral aspect of the building in which it was used. It reveals traces of use and weathers over time. This means that Lime Paint can also give new walls that authenticity that no other decoration technique can achieve. Extra moods are added as the colour nuances vary with changing light intensities.

Lime was already used as paint hundreds of years ago, among other things due to its fungicidal properties. An additional benefit is that minor irregularities in the surface are levelled off instead of being highlighted. And of course, the traditional character and appearance of Lime Paint matches this kind of architecture perfectly.
The natural composition of Lime Paint is also reflected in its natural appearance: it’s literally ‘chalk matt’, with harmonious and powerful colours. The painter’s hand creates an aesthetic result that depends on his specific way of applying, finishing and colouring the paint, and his unique effects.
  • premium quality
  • high moisture-regulating effect
  • wall can “breathe”
  • electrostaticaly neutral
  • matt, mineral, environmental-friendly and durable

  • orders will be delivered in 2 working days to your home adres of construction site.
    Or can be collected in our showroom.
colors
A very smooth and even application of each layer ensures that the colour and texture of the final result will also be smooth.
The colour intensity and nuances of Lime Paint depend to a great extent on the substrate and the finishing. For example, the colour can be made darker by intensive brushing.
Various effects can be obtained depending on whether the Lime Paint is painted or stuccoed, with or without polishing, and optionally enhanced with a Tadelakt or Italian shine plaster look.
Create your ow color by mixing Calctaex paints/pigments. Incomplete mixing of Calcatex pigments results in a more ‘flamed’ effect when you brush it out.


substrates
The absorption power of the substrate affects the colour intensity and Lime Paint will have colour nuances depending on this absorption power. On interior walls, Lime Paint can be painted or stuccoed on all mineral substrates but also on old layers of paint, on wood, MDF, metal, etc., if the substrate is sufficiently stable and alkali-resistant.

composition
hydrated lime, casein, marble powder, baryte, natural earth pigments or factory made mineral pigments

procedure
-Take 1 volume of water and 1 volume paint in powderform. Stir well and leave it for 30 to 45 minutes.
-Then stir again and, only if necessary, ad some water and ready (= approximately 10 to 20 m2 per kg powder).
-More water (1,5 volume on 1 volume of powderpaint) results in a thinner paint with more effect but less covering.
We advise not to ad more than 2 volumes of water to 1 volume of paint, because the paint will loose covering as well as scrub resistance. Pigments tend to form a deposit, stir regularly during the application.
