Product Details:

Hydrated Lime Powder, chemically known as Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂), is produced by adding water to Quicklime (CaO). With 80% purity, it finds applications in various industries due to its alkaline nature and reactivity. Below are its major uses and applications:

• Mortar & Plaster: Enhances durability, flexibility, and water resistance in masonry.

• Whitewashing: Used for wall coating to prevent fungal growth and enhance aesthetics.

• Soil Stabilization: Improves soil strength for roads, foundations, and embankments.

• Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Blocks: Acts as a binder in lightweight construction materials.

• Drinking Water Purification: Adjusts pH and removes impurities like heavy metals.

• Wastewater Neutralization: Helps in treating industrial effluents by neutralizing acids and removing contaminants.

• Flue Gas Treatment: Used in power plants and industries to absorb sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and reduce emissions.

• Steel Manufacturing: Used as a fluxing agent to remove impurities in iron and steel production.

• Chemical Processing: Acts as a reagent in producing calcium-based chemicals like calcium stearate and calcium soaps.

• Sugar Refining: Removes impurities in sugar mills through the carbonation process.

• Soil Treatment: Neutralizes acidic soils, enhances fertility, and improves crop yield.

• Animal Feed Additive: Provides calcium for livestock nutrition.

• Pest & Disease Control: Used as a disinfectant in poultry farms and animal sheds.

• Food Additive: Used in pickling, corn tortilla production, and sugar refining.

• Pharmaceutical Applications: Utilized in medicinal and dental products like antacids and dental fillings.

• Leather Industry: Helps in the dehairing and preparation of hides before tanning.

• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used in the causticizing process for white liquor preparation.

• Petroleum Industry: Assists in refining processes by removing sulfur compounds.
