About Calcium Hydroxide (Chemical)

Calcium Hydroxide Chemical

"Calcium Hydroxide Chemical", 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 Chemical 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 Chemical shall be having minimum Assay Content of 92%+ as Ca(OH)₂.

Versatile Industrial Applications

Calcium Hydroxide boasts a wide array of uses in sectors such as water treatment, construction, and the food industry. Its ability to neutralize acids, stabilize water quality, and serve as an additive in food products ensures an indispensable role in both industrial and laboratory settings. Its non-poisonous nature makes it suitable for regulated agricultural and food-related applications.

Safe Handling and Storage

This chemical is stable under standard conditions and should be stored in tightly closed containers in dry environments. While non-poisonous, Calcium Hydroxide can cause skin and eye irritation, so protective measures should be taken during use. Its shelf life is two years from the manufacturing date when proper storage protocols are followed.

Quality and Compliance

Produced under rigorous ISO 9001:2015 certified quality systems, Calcium Hydroxide meets international standards such as IS 1638 and ASTM D387. Each batch is supplied with a guaranteed purity level of over 95% and offered in a variety of packaging options to cater to bulk and specialized requirements.

FAQs of Calcium Hydroxide (Chemical):

Q: How is Calcium Hydroxide typically used across different industries?

A: Calcium Hydroxide is widely used for water treatment to adjust pH levels, in construction for soil stabilization and mortar preparation, as a food additive for specific products, and in laboratories as a reagent. It is also useful in agriculture as a soil conditioner.

Q: What is the proper process for storing Calcium Hydroxide to maintain its quality?

A: To preserve quality, Calcium Hydroxide should be kept in tightly closed containers, away from moisture, and stored in a dry, well-ventilated location. Proper storage helps maintain its low moisture content and extends its shelf life to up to two years from the date of manufacture.

Q: When should appropriate safety precautions be taken while handling Calcium Hydroxide?

A: Safety precautions, including the use of gloves and eye protection, should always be taken when handling Calcium Hydroxide, as it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes, even though it is non-poisonous.

Q: What benefits does Calcium Hydroxide offer compared to other alkaline compounds?

A: Calcium Hydroxide provides high effectiveness in neutralizing acids and treating water, features low toxicity, is non-poisonous, and is easy to handle due to its solid, stable form. Its moderate solubility in water makes it suitable for controlled pH adjustments.

Q: Where is your Calcium Hydroxide manufactured and how is quality assured?

A: Calcium Hydroxide is manufactured in India following ISO 9001:2015 certified processes, conforming to standards such as IS 1638 and ASTM D387. Each batch undergoes strict quality control to ensure high purity and consistency.
