Hydrated Lime or Calcium Hydroxide is a highly useful industrial chemical produced by reacting quick lime with controlled water addition. It is widely known for its strong alkaline nature, high reactivity, and excellent performance in various industrial processes. Hydrated lime is extensively used in E.T.P. (Effluent Treatment Plants), Soil stabilization, hot mix asphalt, construction work, and also in caustic soda manufacturing.
It plays an important role in neutralizing acidic waste, improving soil quality, and supporting multiple chemical processes. Due to its high calcium content, Hydrated Lime ensures better efficiency and stability in treatment systems. Below are the detailed technical specifications of the product.
