Soon after, to meet the need and demand to further serve and supply the entire masonry industry with these world-class materials, Lime was born. This lime, with its unique chemistry, was procured in three strength grades known as NHL 2, NHL 3.5, and NHL 5. Wanting to use the best and most appropriate materials available, Andy’s company, deGruchy Masonry Restoration, began using Saint-Astier® Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) for their restoration projects. The iconic nature of Europe’s lasting historic architecture inspired Andy to bring the same great performing materials to the US.
To this day, their commitment to traditional methodology continues to produce dependable building limes for various types of construction and historic masonry repairs. For 170 years, Saint-Astier® has not deviated from their time-honored methods of preparing lime. After research and networking with other conservators and conservation institutes, Andy was introduced to the Saint-Astier® Company of Perigueux, France. A return to traditional materials with a proven track record of service was needed.
Even if a repair lasted longer, it fell far short of the 100+ -year service life attained from properly installed lime mortars which were historically used worldwide. Repairs using inferior materials often failed prematurely resulting in work needing to be redone in as little as 10 years. The temperature of the washing liquid cannot exceed 45✬. Please note that it is washable, but do not steep for a long time. ❥EASY to CLEAN: Leak proof and waterproof meal bag is super easy to clean. ❥APPLICATION: It is not just a daily lunch bag, also can be used as a lunch cooling bag with an ice pack, a picnic bag for outings, a cross body bag for sports, a shopping bag, a cosmetic bag for storing toiletry during travelling.
