HYDRATED LIME

Hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) is a dry, colorless crystalline powder manufactured by treating calcium oxide (quicklime) with water, in a process called "slaking." Also known as slack lime, builders lime or pickling lime, hydrated lime is used in the production of mortars, plasters, cements, paints, hard rubber

Application and Use

• Hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2) will harden when mixed with water and allowed to dry and recrystallize.
• Improve the resistance to rain penetration of the mortar.
• Acid neutralization, water softening, and impurity removal.
• prior to coagulation to increase the pH and alkalinity of the water to bring them to optimum levels for coagulation
• Lime can improve crop yield and the root system of plants and grass where soils are acidic.
• Lime Putty (Calcium Hydroxide), is a highly plastic and workable material with molecular and free water (usually around 50%).
