Colored Hydraulic Lime Cement from United States
Colored hydraulic lime cement is a hydraulic binder mixed with iron oxide pigments to achieve specific aesthetic shades for restoration projects. It sets through hydration of free lime and other compounds, providing a durable, breathable material. This product is classified under tariff item 2523.90.00 as 'other hydraulic cement' because it is not a standard Portland or aluminous cement and the added pigments do not exclude it from Chapter 25.
