Hydrated Lime. Meets FCC specifications.
Calcium Hydroxide – Ca(OH)₂ | CAS 1305-62-0
Product Overview
Calcium hydroxide, commonly known as slaked lime or hydrated lime, is a white, odorless powder with strong alkaline properties. It is widely used in chemical manufacturing, water treatment, construction materials, and laboratory applications. When dissolved in water, it forms limewater, a moderately strong base useful for pH adjustment, precipitation reactions, and analytical chemistry. Calcium hydroxide is valued for its reactivity, ease of handling, and versatility across industrial and environmental systems.
Key Industries
- Water Treatment – Used for softening water, pH adjustment, and neutralizing acidic waste streams
- Chemical Manufacturing – Acts as a precursor in the production of calcium compounds and neutralization processes
- Construction & Building Materials – Integral in mortar, plaster, and cement formulations
- Food Processing – Used under regulated conditions for processing corn, sugar refining, and brewing
- Pharmaceuticals – Employed as a pH adjuster and excipient in select formulations
- Agriculture – Enhances soil pH and is used in pest control formulations
- Laboratory & Research – Applied in acid-base titrations, qualitative analysis, and preparation of limewater
Packaging Options
Calcium hydroxide is available in powder or slurry forms, packaged in bags, pails, and bulk containers to suit laboratory, field, or industrial applications. Custom volumes and concentrations are available upon request for specific processing or regulatory needs.
