Lime (Hydrated Lime)

Description

Hydrated lime is a fine white powder used in selected masonry and plastering applications. When added to compatible mortar formulations, it improves plasticity and workability, helps the mixture spread more easily and can improve water retention. Its flexibility can also help accommodate minor movement in suitable mortar systems.

Main applications

• Masonry mortar and selected plaster mixes.

• Traditional building restoration.

• Repair and renovation of compatible masonry.

• Specialised lime-based finishing systems.

Key benefits: Improved workability, smoother application, water retention and compatibility with appropriate traditional building materials.

Note: Use the correct type of lime for the application. Hydrated lime is not interchangeable with every other lime product.
