PLIANCY
Inherent plasticity and malleability give lime extreme pliancy as an ideal binder for preparing mortars, plasters, and lime finishes.

Continuous carbonation and mineralization develop over long periods to restore lime to its original chemical composition, thus ensuring excellent strength and stability.
