Cement & Construction
In cement manufacturing lime forms a primary component of clinker, making up approximately 95 per cent of its composition. High grade lime is particularly valued for its ability to enhance the lime saturation factor (LSF) in clinker raw materials. By optimising the chemical balance lime ensures efficient clinker formation uniformity and stronger cement with reliable performance in diverse construction applications.
Our Marquee lime plays a multifaceted role in the construction industry where quality and performance are paramount. Its versatility makes it an essential material across cement production mortar and adhesives.
In the mortar and adhesives sector including tile adhesives lime serves as both a binder and a filler. It improves workability allowing smoother application and better spread while enhancing adhesion to surfaces. Its inclusion contributes to the durability of mortars and adhesives ensuring long lasting bonds and reduced cracking or shrinkage over time.
Lime also supports other construction applications such as plasters and renderings where it contributes to flexibility, water retention and resistance to environmental stress. Its controlled particle size and high purity guarantee consistent performance across various mixing and curing conditions.
