what you need to know
Pantheon pozzolanic lime is a hydraulic lime obtained by cold mixing pure aerial lime and micronized natural pozzolans.
This lime is a synthesis of different binders and is a versatile material for preparing any type of mortar that you want to use in a renovation and building sustainability work.
Pozzolanic lime does not contain soluble salts, free lime or other forms of clinker. The binder gives the mixture excellent adhesion to the support, elasticity, great breathability, high resistance to mold and bacteria. Furthermore, it does not contain materials harmful to the environment and health.
The Pantheon: where the name comes from
The Pantheon pozzolanic lime takes its name from the dome of the Pantheon with a span measuring 43.3 meters and was created according to a precision structural system between 118 and 125 BC. It was built on the basis of some findings of doliary stamps imprinted on the bricks used to raise the structure.
Inside this building are six horizontal annular layers of materials, including the foundations. The layers are characteristic in that they are heavier at the lower base of the monument than at the upper ones.
The big stratsthe Roman “Opus Caementitium” are favorable for a slow grip of the internal core of the castings. In some of these the taking has not yet ended today after over two thousand years.
This allows for large plastic deformations of the structure: an advantage of stability.
