Expansion of Dairy Farm 993 in the Apennine region of Reggio Emilia

Dairy Farm 993 in Cavola di Toano (RE) is a cooperation formed by 25 members, who are owners of family-run farms, where cows are reared using traditional methods. The main product of this dairy farm in the Apennine region of Reggio Emilia is Parmigiano Reggiano and moulds over 24 months old can proudly bear the mountain quality mark.

Type of work: In 2013, Dairy Farm 993 has decided to expand its structure, especially the working area of the typical copper boilers in the shape of inverted bells, where the initial phase of the milk process begins.
Litokol supplied the Superflex K77 cement-based adhesive and the Starlike® Defender plaster to lay the 12.5 x 25 cm clinker tiles on the floor and as coatings.

Laying works: these were carried out by a group of tile layers: Ielli Brothers, Matteo Beretti, Davide Stocco and Prospero Incerti

Materials used for laying: High-performance cement-based adhesive with no vertical slip, such as Superflex K77 of Litokol, was used to lay the tiles, since it was also used for coating purposes. On the other hand, Starlike® Defender was chosen for the plaster, which is a particularly suitable product for places where high levels of hygiene and cleanliness are required. Starlike® Defender is the first antibacterial epoxy sealant for the grouting of ceramic tiles, with a reduction of up to 99% of the bacteria loads and is also certified by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
