Construction

MLC is a trusted lime partner for critical industries related to construction and infrastructure, including steel, glass and fiberglass, soil stabilization, asphalt, coatings, adhesives, sealants, mortars, and plasters. 

In soil stabilization applications, MLC™ high-calcium Quicklime and Hydrated Lime upgrade low-quality soils into usable base and sub-base materials, create a strong foundation that can bear weight. This includes construction for roads, airfields, and building foundations. In these applications, the high reactivity of MLC products create opportunities to enhance efficiency, lower costs, and reduce volumes required to achieve effective performance.  

In asphalt, MLC Hydrated Lime and CalCarb® Calcium Carbonate offerings are used as anti-strip agents and functional fillers. CalCarb products are also utilized in the manufacture of roofing materials. 

In coatings, adhesives, sealants, mortars, and plasters, CalCarb Calcium Carbonate and MicroCal O Calcium Oxide are valued for their unique characteristics, as a result of end-use requirements for bond strength, mechanical properties, moisture resistance, brightness, and viscosity control.
