Hydrated lime is ideal for traditional lime mortar, improving the plasticity and long-term durability of mortars and renders making them easier to apply and improving your workflow. Ideal for brick & block laying, rendering or plastering, the Hydrated lime can also be used as a breathable lime wash paint for buildings.
