Hydrated Lime 90% / Calcium Hydroxide 90%
Introduction
Hydrated Lime 90%, also known as Calcium Hydroxide 90%, is a versatile, high-purity chemical widely used in industrial, environmental, and laboratory applications. Manufactured under stringent quality standards, this product delivers consistent performance and long-lasting effectiveness. Whether for water treatment, soil stabilization, or chemical synthesis, Hydrated Lime 90% ensures reliable results while maintaining safety and efficiency.
What is Hydrated Lime 90% / Calcium Hydroxide 90%?
Hydrated Lime is a finely powdered alkaline compound derived from slaked lime. With a chemical composition of Ca(OH)₂ at 90% purity, it acts as a strong base capable of neutralizing acids, adjusting pH levels, and participating in various chemical reactions. Its high concentration makes it ideal for both laboratory and industrial usage, providing predictable and stable results.
How it Works
The primary function of Hydrated Lime is to interact with acidic substances to form neutral compounds. In water treatment, it raises pH levels, precipitates impurities, and softens hard water. In soil stabilization, it reacts with clay particles to improve texture and durability. Calcium Hydroxide’s high reactivity allows it to function effectively even in minimal quantities, making it both cost-efficient and reliable.
