 INTRODUCTION

Silica-lime products are essentially formed from a mixture of finely ground siliceous materials and Ca(OH) 2 hydrated lime called fat lime (or portland cement) generally subjected to autoclave treatment. Two categories of products are manufactured and used as building materials:

  • dense silico-limestone ;

  • light limestone.

A third category can be added: fiber-cement-silica.
