Slaked lime in a bucket of 23 kg
Slaked lime
Slaked lime (lime dough) is formed by dissolving burnt lime in water. It must lie in pits for one year or more before use. This improves its quality.
Use of slaked lime
It is useful for whitewashing rooms, preparing coarse or fine mortar, for restoring old monument-protected buildings, for building bread and similar ovens, stoves, where the addition of cement is not recommended.
To whiten new rooms, we need to dilute the slaked lime with water 1: 5, the second coat 1: 2 (1: 1) for the first coating, which the masters call “masonry bleaching”. For the final coating, we recommend our lime paint, which is applied with a roller. If they appear on previously invisible cracks in the line during whitewashing, the wall should be lightly sanded before the next application.
It is easy to prepare coarse or fine mortar because lime is in the form of a paste.
- coarse mortar (lime-sand ratio is 1: 3 or 1: 4)
- fine mortar (lime-sand ratio is 1: 1 or 1: 2)
Use of lime in agriculture
Lime is used to whiten the trunks of trees, especially fruit trees, to prevent the bark of trees from cracking, because cracking wounds are ideal sites for pathogens.
The coating also has antimicrobial properties that provide hygienic and sanitary benefits to the animals in the stables.
Lime is needed in the routine maintenance of barns. A traditional animal barn contains a series of very rough surfaces that are difficult to wash and clean, such as stone and masonry bricks, as well as wooden ceilings. Dust, dirt, insect debris and debris collect on these surfaces and can become very dirty. Lime creates a sanitary coating. Surface dirt is removed with whitewash.

Frequently Asked Questions
- I have a new building. Which order or. which of your products do you recommend for the first application and how many times is it good to apply whitewash?
- I wonder if the slaked lime to whiten the walls in the house is wiped off and leaves white stains on the dress?
For new construction, for the first application we recommend slaked lime, which is applied with a brush or. spraying, followed by a second and third application with lime paint, which can be applied with a roller. Consumption of slaked lime is 1kg / 6 m2 of surface. Also 1 l of lime paint / 6 m2 of surface.
Calcium hydroxide-slaked lime reacts with carbon dioxide from the air, which means that the lime hardens-petrifies and is not erased. However, experience has also shown that at very high air temperatures, ie in the summer heat, whitewash dries so quickly and because there is no moisture in the air, it can happen that invisible dust is formed on the surface of the wall, which is erased. These are rare exceptions, but they are worth remembering.
