Blue Circle Hydralime Hydrated Lime is a high-quality hydrated lime designed to improve the workability, plasticity, and durability of mortars, plasters, and renders. Supplied in a 25kg bag, it is widely used in general building, bricklaying, plastering, and restoration work where a smoother, more workable mix is required.
Is Blue Circle Hydralime suitable as a direct binder like hydraulic lime?
No. Hydrated lime is a non-hydraulic lime, which means it should be mixed with cement and sand for mortars or renders. For projects requiring lime as the sole binder (such as heritage restoration), a natural hydraulic lime (NHL) would be more suitable.
