The benefits of lime in construction
Lime is a versatile natural mineral raw material and the collective name for a number of minerals (salts) of calcium, such as quicklime, slaked lime, chalk, marl and gypsum. It comes from rock lime or shell lime that is roasted in lime kilns at approximately 900°C. Lime is mainly used as a binding agent in plasters and mortar, but also as a soil improver or hardener.
