Hydraulic Lime

Hydraulic lime is a type of lime that hardens through chemical reactions with water, allowing it to set and develop strength underwater or in damp conditions. Made from limestone containing clay or silica, it is processed by calcining and slaking to produce a workable material. Unlike non-hydraulic lime, which only reacts with carbon dioxide over time, hydraulic lime sets quickly and bonds well in moist environments, making it ideal for masonry and restoration projects where durability and moisture resistance are important. It offers a balanced combination of workability, elasticity, and strength, suitable for various construction needs.
