Hydrated Lime 25kg

Hydrated Lime is a quality-assured, non-hydraulic hydrated lime produced to meet the requirements for mortar, render and plaster for conservation, restoration and new build construction. It conforms to the high calcium requirements of BS EN 459-1 classification CL 90-S.

Hydrated Lime is manufactured by calcining a high purity calcium limestone in carefully controlled conditions. This process produces quicklime which is then crushed, hydrated and re-ground to produce the finished fine powder.

Building applications
Hydrated Lime improves the plasticity, cohesiveness and water retention of Portland cement mortars and renders and can be used for a wide range of building applications. As hydrated lime is non-hydraulic, it is not suitable for use in mortars and renders without a Portland cement being present.
