Features & Benefits

Product Highlight
  • Lime (and dolomitic lime) is a very old product that today is manufactured with the advances of a more and more elaborated technique.
  • Lime is characterized by its polyvalence, i.e. the possibility to be used in very diverse applications.
  • From the commercial point of view, this polyvalence means avoiding the tyranny of commercialization in only one or two economy sectors.
