Calcium silicate (sand-lime) brick is employed in standard masonry construction in the same manner as common clay brick. Sand is mixed with high calcium lime (quick or hydrated) in a wet state, and then molded into bricks and autoclaved. The lime reacts with silica to form complex hydro(di)calcium silicates that bind the brick and provide high ...
Sand lime bricks are often used in structural foundations and walls, exposed brick and pillars, and, when the pigment is added, for ornamental uses.
