Product Description

Calcium Hydroxide BP Grade

Backed by our highly skilled and experienced professionals, we are offering a highly effective Calcium Hydroxide BP Grade. This chemical is used in the composition of pharmaceutical drugs, treatment of water and sewage, cosmetic and plating. Offered chemical is produced by making use of BP grade chemical compounds at our well-maintained production unit. It is acknowledged by our customers for its safe to use and unadulterated nature. Furthermore, this Calcium Hydroxide BP Grade is available at industry leading prices in varied safe packaging options.

"Calcium Hydroxide", 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 BP Grade 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 compliant to the core specifications & requirement of the British Pharmacopeia.

Pharmaceutical Quality and Applications

Calcium Hydroxide (BP Grade) is manufactured to strict BP standards, ensuring suitability for use in pharmaceuticals, antacids, and laboratory reagents. Its high purity and controlled levels of heavy metals, arsenic, and other impurities make it a reliable choice for sensitive health and industrial applications.

Physical Characteristics and Handling

Presented as a white, fine powder passing through a 150-micron IS sieve, Calcium Hydroxide is slightly soluble in water and more so in acids and glycerol. With a melting point of 580C (decomposes), it should be handled with care, kept away from moisture, and stored in tightly sealed containers.

Versatile Uses and Benefits

This compound serves as an antacid, a water treatment agent, a food additive, and a laboratory reagent. Its alkaline nature and fine particle size make it versatile in both health and industrial applications, providing pH regulation, calcium supplementation, and impurity precipitation.

FAQs of Calcium Hydroxide (BP Grade):

Q: How is Calcium Hydroxide (BP Grade) typically used in pharmaceuticals?

A: Calcium Hydroxide (BP Grade) is used in the pharmaceutical industry mainly as an antacid and calcium supplement, along with applications as a reagent in laboratory testing due to its high purity and strict adherence to BP standards.

Q: What benefits does BP Grade ensure for Calcium Hydroxide applications?

A: BP Grade denotes strict quality standards with controlled impurity levels (such as heavy metals and arsenic), ensuring product safety and efficacy in sensitive applications like pharmaceuticals and food processing.

Q: When should Calcium Hydroxide be used as a water treatment agent?

A: Calcium Hydroxide is added during water treatment processes to adjust water alkalinity and pH, facilitate precipitation of heavy metals, or soften water by removing carbonate hardness.

Q: Where should Calcium Hydroxide (BP Grade) be stored to maintain its quality?

A: It should be stored in tightly sealed containers protected from moisture, in a cool and dry place, to avoid degradation or reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide, preserving its 2-year shelf life.

Q: What is the typical process for producing Calcium Hydroxide (BP Grade)?

A: The product is made by reacting high-purity Calcium Oxide (quicklime) with water under controlled conditions, followed by drying and sieving to achieve a fine, uniform powder that matches BP specifications.

Q: How does the fine particle size benefit its effectiveness in various applications?

A: The fine particle size allows for better dispersion, increased reactivity, and more efficient mixing in formulations, which is particularly beneficial in pharmaceutical, laboratory, and water treatment uses.

Q: What precautions should be observed while handling Calcium Hydroxide (BP Grade)?

A: Use protective equipment to avoid inhalation and skin contact, and avoid exposure to moisture by keeping containers tightly closed. Always handle in well-ventilated areas and follow appropriate safety protocols.
