binders and fixers

Binders and fixers are natural glues or synthetic resins whose function is to bind together fillers or aggregates and to stick them together on different substrates according to their compatibility. There are different types of binders and fixers. Natural binders and fixers such as casein and synthetic binders and fixers such as acrylic or vinyl binders. Natural limes are part of natural binders such as air lime paste or powder and natural hydraulic lime (nhl3.5) or Roman hydraulic lime. They are not fixers because they do not add to mixtures. they are necessarily the main binder of the mixtures.

the lime paste calci lime is manufactured in ebreuil in the alloy. This pure and 100% natural lime paste is handcrafted, unlike powdered industrial lime, which gives it remarkable aesthetic and ecological qualities as well as a remarkable carbonation (becomes after drying as solid as the original stone which has been fired). It is, once dry, a very pure white (grayish when wet), very smooth and grain-free and does not flour. It is very suitable for the realization of frescoes, limewash, fine plasters and stuccos and tadelakt. This lime has aged 12 months and can be stored indefinitely as long as it remains in its lime water, it will only be better.

lime water, natural recalcifying varnish
lime water
in stock

lime water is a 100% natural varnish resulting from lime quenching which is used to create patinas, consolidate whitewashes, stones, frescoes. The water is used to extinguish quicklime and it is during this extinction, when a strong heat is released, that this water becomes charged with calcium hydroxide to form lime water. Then when it is used, lime water reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form calcium carbonate (caco3, calcite found at the end of stalactites in caves) which is then freezes on the surface to form a transparent limestone.
