1 Fine, white pow-der is produced by calcininghigh purity dolomitic lime-stone, followed by pressurehydrating and milling miracle Type SLime, when mixed withportland cement, sand, andwater, is the key ingredientin the mixing of highly plasticworkable mortar needed fordurable, water capacity of a mason-ry mortar to retain satisfac-tory workability under theinfluence of masonry unitsuction and evaporation ratedepends on the waterretentivity and setting char-acteristics of the based mortars exceedminimum requirements forwater retention and thuscontribute to greater worka-bility and the mortar to bespread easily into the cracksand crevices of the of the workabili-ty of lime based mortars,there is better bond betweenmortar and masonry bond is important forresistance to water penetr-ation and resisting the flex-ing forces of wind andground with portland cementand Western MiracleLimeexhibit superior bond valueswhen tested according toASTM miracle Type SLime is recommended NAMEW estern miracle Type SHydrated Masons Lime Corporation206 57 West Bend, WI miracle Lime isType S (Special)
