Listing ID #5276655

Calcium hydroxide, traditionally called slaked lime, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca(OH)2. It is a colorless crystal or white powder and is obtained when calcium oxide (called lime or quicklime) is mixed, or "slaked" with water.
It has many names including hydrated lime, builders' lime, slack lime, cal, or pickling lime. Calcium hydroxide is used in many applications, including food preparation. Limewater is the common name for a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide.
We are prominent manufacturer, supplier and trader of Hydrated Lime 60% to our respected clients. It is available in a colorless crystal or white powder. These are formulated using top quality chemicals and procured from calcium oxide.
Properties of Hydrated Lime

• When heated to 512 °C, the partial pressure of water in equilibrium with calcium hydroxide reaches 101 kPa, which decomposes calcium hydroxide into calcium oxide and water. Ca(OH)2 → CaO + H2O
• A suspension of fine calcium hydroxide particles in water is called milk of lime. The solution is called limewater and is a medium strength base that reacts with acids and attacks many metals. Limewater turns milky in the presence of carbon dioxide due to formation of calcium carbonate, a process called carbonatation: Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O
