slaked lime

slaked lime
Danh từ

This term refers specifically to the chemical result of the hydration process where quicklime is reacted with water. In construction and restoration, it is prized for its breathability and flexibility, making it a preferred material for historic masonry compared to modern Portland cement.

Because it is a chemical substance and a bulk building material, it is treated as a mass noun. It does not have a plural form in standard technical or architectural usage; instead, quantities are specified using units of measure or partitive phrases such as "a batch of slaked lime."
