   Hydrated lime is made from pure limestone and sets through the absorption of CO 2 during the carbonation process. [7] When dealing with time constraints, hydraulic binders are used in combination with regular hydrated lime because the set time for hempcrete will be less than that of regular limes, about two weeks to a month to gain adequate ...

[115] Is crushed for use as aggregate—the solid base for many roads as well as in asphalt concrete. [59]
