Ionic Heidelberg Socli Old White Natural
Hydraulic Lime NHL 3.5

**Formerly branded in Hanson and Ionic NHL 3.5 bags**

High quality Heidelberg Socli Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) is produced from the
natural argillaceous limestone deposits in the quarries at the Izaourt and
Sauveterre Works of SOCLI in the South of France. The Quality Control at the
works is backed by the extensive central Calcia Research and Development
facilities, ensuring a high degree of consistency in performance and colour.

Heidelberg Socli Lime NHL 3.5 has outstanding workability and great water
retention. This Hydraulic Lime will improve plasticity, create high cohesion and
result in low shrinkage. Hydraulic lime NHL also has the advantage of being
resistant to sulphates and freeze thaw actions.

Ideal for building with brick or stone, repointing, and rendering. For external
and internal use. Hydraulic lime is ideal for use with restoration projects of older
buildings, traditional, period homes and the conservation of heritage and grade
2 listed buildings.

The lower strength of natural hydraulic lime mortar compared with Portland
cement based mortars allows mixes to be produced which complement the lower strengths of many natural stone and soft brick applications whilst
improving plasticity and retaining a high level of cohesion with low shrinkage.
