Environmental Considerations

Lime Putty mortar is an environmentally sustainable product.

Shelf Life

Unlimited. Matures with age. Lime putty mortars stiffen during storage, but can be plasticised without the addition of water by thorough re-mixing.

Colour

Mortar colour is determined by the sand, stonedust or aggregate mixed with the putty.

Observations

The use of stone and brick repair mortars is a skilled operation normally undertaken by an experienced conservator. Non-hydraulic lime mortars do not perform as modern hydraulic lime and cement, and set only by reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide in the presence of moisture. This ‘carbonation’ is a slow process and control of the drying and curing process by ‘tending’ and protecting is crucial to success and long-term performance. Protections are essential. Do not use below a temperature of 5°C or above 25°C. Do not use if there is risk of frost.
