Abstract
This paper is about an experiment which should prove that slaked lime is suitable as an ecological moisture retardant. Therefore, the performance of straw, sheep wool, hemp and directed hemp covered with slaked lime was monitored over a long period. The other half of the probes were uncovered to serve as reference data. The main focus of this experiment is to determine the moment when the probes start to mold as extreme humidity in reality only lasts for a short time. During the experiment the used material is continuously exposed to moisture whereas under non-experimental conditions exposure to moisture would last for a much shorter period of time (cooking, cleaning, etc.) This paper only covers the performance of straw and sheep wool covered with lime. Also the spreading of mold will not take place.
