Description

Carmeuse’s High Calcium Lime Product Description

Carmeuse’s High Calcium Lime (Calcium Oxide) is produced from limestone containing over 98% calcium carbonate.

Made from high-quality, natural deposits of limestone, and meeting exacting chemical and physical properties, Carmeuse’s quicklime products provide high-performance, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly attributes and benefits for a broad range of industrial applications.

Carmeuse’s High Calcium Application

Mist the substrate and any previous cement mortar application with water immediately before a new application but only as a slight dampening to control absorption. No standing water should remain during a new application. If any substrate is retaining inordinate amounts of moisture due to rising damp, bad flashing or moisture from a chimney cavity, this must be corrected before new work begins. ASTM has reports on normal absorption rates for most building materials not explicitly covered by individual manufacturers. Wait 24 hours between coats of stucco at 1:1:6 ratios.

Protect the new work for 24 hours from wind, direct sun,
freezing temperatures, excessive heat, and rain.

We purchased this bag of high-calcium hydrated lime to mix limewash for "painting" the bricks of our fireplace. The consistent quality of the lime helped us mix consistent batches of limewash. The result looked great.

Any chance you will be selling high calcium Quicklime any time soon for "hot lime" work?

    Fast delivery & exactly what I needed to make my lime putty for whitewashing. For some reason everyone locally stopped carrying high calcium hydrated lime so I’m very thankful for Limeworks!
