Lafarge™ Natural Hydraulic Lime
Lafarge™ Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) is made by burning a pure naturally occurring hydraulic limestone from their quarries in the French Alps, an area renowned for the quality of their stone. LaFarge NHL does not contain any Portland cement or additives of any kind. LaFarge NHL contains over 42% free lime, aiding in the workability and breathability of mortars and plasters made with it. Natural Hydraulic Limes are commonly used as a replacement mortar in structures originally built of hot and non-hydraulic lime mortars due to their resilience to harsh conditions and normal weathering. They also make ideal mortars and plasters for historic preservation and green building. Learn More.
