Product Description
Calcium hydroxide, commonly referred to slaked lime or hydrated lime is represented with the chemical formula, Ca(OH)2. It is an odorless, fine white powder with a smooth texture. It is easily dissolvable in water, creating a strong alkaline solution known as lime water.
Calcium hydroxide is traditionally produced by adding water to calcium oxide (quicklime) in a controlled reaction. This procedure of hydration leads to the formation of this white odorless powder, with a chemical composition making it highly alkaline.
Calcium hydroxide is also widely used in the construction industry as a building material. It is used in mortar and plaster formulations in order to enhance workability, adhesive properties and durability. It is also majorly adopted in numerous other industrial and commercial applications, such as eater treatment, food processing, and agriculture.
