Key Features:

• Authentic PHL 2.0 Formulation: Our PHL 2.0 mortar is a pozzolanic lime mortar, a historically accurate blend of high-calcium lime and reactive clays (pozzolan). It is free of Portland cement, making it ideal for repairs on historic masonry originally built with soft lime mortar.

• Exceptional Breathability for Delicate Masonry: The high lime content and feebly hydraulic nature of this mortar make it exceptionally breathable, allowing moisture to escape easily and preventing damage to delicate masonry.

• Five Classic Colors: Select from white, gray, light buff, dark buff, or dark red to seamlessly match the original mortar color of your historic structure.

• Easy Mixing and Application: Simply combine the concentrate with sand and water according to the provided instructions for a smooth, workable mortar that is easy to apply.

Ideal Applications:

• Repointing historic brick and stone masonry built with soft lime mortar, particularly in sheltered locations

• Repairing cracks, gaps, and deteriorated mortar joints in very soft or fragile masonry

• Matching historic mortar colors and textures in delicate restoration projects

• Restoring the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of heritage buildings with sensitive masonry

Why Choose PHL 2.0 Lime Mortar?

Unlike modern cement-based mortars, which can be too rigid and trap moisture, our PHL 2.0 lime mortar is exceptionally gentle and breathable, making it ideal for use on soft and fragile masonry that requires a delicate touch. By using a historically accurate mortar with the appropriate hydraulic properties, you ensure the longevity and beauty of your most sensitive restoration work.

Important Note: PHL 2.0 is specifically designed for soft or fragile masonry in sheltered locations. For masonry exposed to direct weather or requiring greater strength, consider our PHL 3.5 or 5.0 mortars.
