Ecologic Lime Mortar from Limeworks is a prepared blend of binder, aggregate, and pigments to which you just add water, mix, and go to work. The dry ingredients have already been prepared so that you get the right type of hydrated lime, the correct blend of screened sand, and earth pigment if needed.
Does not contain any Portland cement.
A traditional lime finish that can be used indoors or outdoors, use the Coarse blend (Type G) for joints over ⅜ of an inch, such as in making a mortar to repoint brick and stone, or as a base coat for finer plaster to be applied on top. Use the Fine blend (Type F) for joints between 1⁄4 and 3⁄8 of an inch, and butter joint to be used for joints under 1⁄4 of an inch.
Ecologic Mortar comes as a bagged dry mix. Add water and mix with water using a high torque industrial electric drill and a drill mixer attachment in five-gallon pail or using a mason's paddle-style mortar mixer.
All stock Ecologic Mortars are made with NHL 3.5 and sand blend.
Ecologic Lime Mortar will reach the 750 psi required for a Type N mortar while maintaining the high permeability required for repointing and repair to historic structures, originally built with lime mortars. Due to the lack of Portland cement, Ecologic Lime Mortar is immune to sulfates and salts.
