What is the function of lime?

Answer:

Lime milk and mortar, slaked lime or lime paste, with lots of paint. Lime mortar or slaked lime powder can be used to prepare lime mortar or cement lime mixture mortar for masonry or plastering engineering.
Silicate products with lime (lime powder or lime powder) and siliceous materials (sand, fly ash, volcano ash, slag) as main raw materials, batching, mixing, molding and curing can be made of brick and block and other products. Because the main cementing material inside the hydrated calcium silicate, so called Portland products, commonly used are sand lime brick, fly ash brick etc..
Lime stabilized soil mixes lime powder or lime powder with various crushed or formerly loose soil, and is obtained by mixing, compacting and curing. It is called lime stabilized soil. It includes lime soil, lime stabilized gravel soil, lime crushed stone soil and so on. A small amount of clay particles on the surface of the activated alumina and silica reacts with calcium hydroxide, calcium silicate hydrate and hydrated calcium aluminate is hard to produce water, anti permeability ability, the compressive strength of clay, water resistance is improved. Widely used as a building foundation, ground cushion and road base.
