High Calcium Hydrated Lime

What is high calcium hydrated lime? High calcium hydrated lime, also known as calcium hydroxide, is a white, odorless solid. It forms when quicklime reacts with water. With a high pH of around 12.5 in solution at 25°C, its alkaline nature makes it a key compound in various industries. Specifications high calcium hydrated lime typical ranges are below： Benefits of Our High Calcium Hydrated Lime High Calcium Hydrated Lime Production The production begins with high – quality limestone. After mining, the limestone is crushed and calcined in a kiln. This transforms calcium carbonate into calcium oxide (quicklime). Then, quicklime reacts with a precisely controlled amount of water in a hydrator. The exothermic reaction (CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + heat) produces high calcium hydrated lime, which remains a dry powder. What is hydrated lime used for? Is hydrated lime dangerous? High calcium hydrated lime can be hazardous. It’s a skin irritant (Skin Irrit. 2), causing redness and itching. It can severely damage eyes (Eye Dam. 1). Inhaling its dust may irritate the respiratory system (STOT SE 3), and long – term inhalation may cause cancer (Carc. 1A). Repeated exposure can damage organs (STOT RE 1). Thus, it’s only for professional use, and certain groups should avoid it.
