SLAKEDLIM E "PUTTY The vital ingredient for the conservation and repair of historic buildings. Bleaklow lime putty is 96% pure calcium oxide ground to a fine powder and slaked fresh before maturing a minimum of 30 days. This makes it ideal for preparing all mortars, plasters and washes without requiring further treatment. SLAKEDLIME MORTARS Coarse, medium and fine stuff pre mixed non-hydraulic mortars for use where direct matching of.the original is not critical. Bleakl~w lime putty based mixes are prepared using carefully gradeel and batched aggregates and are available in 40kg sack? or Big Bags. These mixes are rich enough to allow for _ the1addition of pozzolanic materials if required or hydraulic lime for a more rapid set (we stock a hydraulic lime for this purpose). ~BLEAKLOW BLEAKLOWINDUSTRIES LTD HassopAv, Hassop,Bakewell Derbyshire DE45 lNS. fax 01246 583192 lei: 01246 582284 South.eastern part pallet sales and distribution (Kingston) tel/fax, 0181 977 0816 SUPPLIERSOF LIMEPUTTYTOTHE NATIONALTRUST, ENGLISHHERITAGE Context54 June1997 As a local family company, spanning three generations, we aim to provide personal attention, close supervision and comprehensive after sales care.
