Dry hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) in a powder form, sometimes used as a component of mortar.


Note: Calcium hydroxide is obtained from calcium oxide by the addition of a suitable amount of water. This process is called slaking.




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
