Our fat lime putty is produced by slaking a British Quicklime (Lump Lime) in an excess of water which is then left to mature for a minimum of 3 months. The resulting fat lime putty is also known as non-hydraulic lime because it requires exposure to air to carbonate and does not set under water. This lime is often regarded as the most appropriate lime to use in the conservation of old buildings where it is important to maximise softness, breathability and flexibility. Fat Lime Putty is blended with an appropriate aggregate to produce plasters and mortars or can be diluted to make limewash. Alternatively we provide 'ready-to-use' plasters, mortars and paints.
