Product Description
Calcium Hydroxide 98%+ Grade
"Calcium Hydroxide 98%", having CAS-No: 1305-62-0, and traditionally being called hydrated lime or slaked lime, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula as Ca(OH)2. It is free flowing super fine super white powder, free from grits & other contaminations and is obtained when calcium oxide (quicklime) is "slaked" with water, to form "Hydrated Lime". Calcium Hydroxide is used in a wide variety of traditional & emerging applications, because of its chemical & physical properties. These are high quality optimum products, compliant to various compendiums, being diligently processed under good manufacturing practices. These products are free from all known allergens and do not contain any prohibitory or toxic chemicals or non-kosher ingredients. The usual shelf life of the product is three to six months from the date of manufacturing of batch. This grade of Calcium Hydroxide shall be having minimum Assay Content of 98%+ as Ca(OH)2.

Key Features and PurityOur Calcium Hydroxide is guaranteed at 98% purity and meets rigorous industrial standards. The product is supplied as a white, odorless powder with a strong alkaline nature, a density of 2.24 g/cm, and a molecular weight of 74.09 g/mol. With moisture content below 1%, the powder remains stable and effective for extended use.
Safe Handling and Storage GuidelinesThis compound is not considered poisonous but is caustic; thus, it can cause significant skin and eye irritation upon contact. Ensure it is stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated area, sealed tightly in HDPE bags, and protected from moisture. Strict adherence to these safety protocols ensures long shelf life and secure handling.
Versatile Applications Across SectorsCalcium Hydroxide is indispensable in various industries, including water treatment for pH balancing, food processing as a refining agent, construction for soil stabilization, and agriculture for neutralizing acidic soils. Its solubility in water and exothermic reaction upon dissolution make it efficient for rapid chemical processes.
FAQs of Calcium Hydroxide, 98%:
Q: How should Calcium Hydroxide, 98% be safely handled and stored?
A: Calcium Hydroxide should be handled with gloves and eye protection as it can cause skin and serious eye irritation. Store it in tightly sealed HDPE bags in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, protected from moisture, to preserve its stability and activity for up to two years.
Q: What industries commonly use Calcium Hydroxide, and for what processes?
A: This chemical is widely used in water treatment (for pH adjustment and as a flocculant), food processing (purification and refining), construction (soil stabilization), agriculture (acidic soil neutralization), and industrial chemical manufacturing for alkaline neutralization.
Q: When is Calcium Hydroxide preferred over similar alkaline materials?
A: Calcium Hydroxide is preferred when rapid pH adjustment, high solubility in water, and strong alkalinity are required, particularly in water treatment, construction, and agriculture, due to its effectiveness and safety compared to stronger caustic agents like sodium hydroxide.
Q: Where can Calcium Hydroxide, 98% be sourced in India, and what are the packaging options?
A: This product is available from reputable dealers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, and suppliers throughout India. It is typically supplied in 25 kg and 50 kg HDPE bags, with a minimum order quantity of 100 kg.
Q: What benefits does Calcium Hydroxide provide in water treatment processes?
A: Calcium Hydroxide acts as an efficient alkaline neutralizer, aiding in the removal of impurities by adjusting pH and facilitating the flocculation of suspended particles, which results in cleaner, safer water for consumption and use.
Q: How does the solubility of Calcium Hydroxide affect its applications?
A: Calcium Hydroxides solubility in water (with an exothermic reaction) allows it to rapidly raise pH and react efficiently in aqueous systems, whereas its insolubility in alcohol limits its use to water-based processes.
