Liquid Lime Replacement

Gibco's Liquid Lime Replacement stands out as a top-tier, chloride-free additive for masonry, transforming standard cement into exceptional mortars ideal for various masonry tasks. It outperforms traditional cement-lime mixtures in both workability and durability, as demonstrated by extensive lab testing. 

These assessments include:

• Evaluating air content
• Testing for water retention
• Checking setting times
• Measuring compressive strength
• Analyzing resistance to freeze-thaw cycles
• Inspecting for sulfate resistance
• Examining drying shrinkage
• Conducting autoclave expansion tests
• Gauging flexural bond strength

The plasticizing qualities of Gibco's not only make it an effective alternative to lime, clays, and similar additives but also offer substantial cost savings — 5 litres of Gibco can replace up to 900kg of lime. It's suited for use with blocks, bricks, or stone, handling the job at hand with ease.
