Limestone has been widely used in many cultures for food, clothing and shelter. "What is it used for?" You may be surprised to learn that it is used for various purposes.
In general, lime is best known for plaster, which is used for building walls, but in the past it was also essential for warehouses for storing important goods and for castles, which were robust buildings.
In modern times, plaster is used in cement for concrete, chalk for classroom blackboards and white lines for sports fields, making it a familiar material closely linked to people's daily lives as well as industrial development.
It is also used in agriculture for soil improvement and fertilisers when replanting new crops, and as a highly effective sterilising material, it has long been an essential agricultural chemical for farmers.
It has been long to be used as a material in natural farming methods and is still a registered pesticide by official bodies.
The applications of lime are so wide-ranging that Inoue is not involved in all of them, but our company deals not only in the agricultural, food, medical and automotive fields, but also in a wide range of industrial materials, from classic applications to those where state-of-the-art technology is used.
