Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) has been produced in Saint Astier, France since 30 BC and produced on an industrial scale, by the same families, since 1851. Saint Astier® Natural Hydraulic Lime is truly a unique and rich exterior finish. Unlike the cold, urban look and feel of cement, natural hydraulic lime is a time-honored, old-world finish, enjoying a modern comeback due to its soft, rich, and velvety texture. Its ability to absorb multi-nuances of color is enhanced by the varied angles of sunlight reflected throughout a day.

About the Brand

Suitable Compressive Strength

Unlike cement or cementitious mixes (1:1:6 etc..) the compressive Compressive strength will be achieved gradually, allowing for movement. The Strength availability of a range will permit the making of mortars with the required strength without having to add or blend.

Versatility of use

Building and plastering mortars, grouts, injection, concrete, paints are all uses that can be achieved with NHL products.

Elasticity

A factor in building without construction joints. Important in diminishing shrinkage and cracking. Allows for minor movements.

Recycling

Materials built with NHL mortars can be reused.

Resistance to salts

The absence of any potentially damaging addition (i.e. gypsum or to salts cement) make sulphate attack, alkali-silica reactions impossible. Existing salts in the building fabric will pass through and eventually can be washed off. Excellent performance in marine environment.
