Building Lime Testing
64-L0036
Building Lime is created by adding water to quicklime (process known as slaking), which is produced by burning limestone, marble, chalk or shell at above 800ºC. Building limes have been used as binders in mortars for thousands of years, nowadays they are used for mortar plasters and renders as they are porous and vapor permeable, preventing mold growth and trapped moisture.
