The lime can be used for various applications in construction. It has several important physical characteristics: the capillary behavior for example, causes the liquid water or steam is able to cross the material very easily, so the humidity can be regulated by intrinsic properties of the material.
Lime is a natural fit hydraulic binder for the preparation of traditional mortars and plasters and is very suitable for restoration.
plasters based on lime, to ensure the durability, they always need money and rough very absorbent, and must be free of dust, oil and parts tightly, if the fund does not guarantee ' adequate lift you must first apply a panel rod that performs the function of mesh.
The strong alkalinity of lime causes the microorganisms such as fungi and mold can not survive in it.
Thanks to the good heat-insulating properties that characterize the material with the application of lime plaster will cancel the risk of condensation and also the complete absence of soluble salts prevents the formation of efflorescence on the surface.
The plaster made of lime in some conditions may present some drawbacks such as low mechanical strength, and the relatively long curing time.
The plaster can be applied manually or by machine, the individual layers of plaster should not exceed their thickness, the size of the largest grain of sand used, multiplied by three. For proper installation of material, individual layers of plaster must be left to partially dry before applying a next layer of plaster and the layers become too dry should be moistened.
