Hydrated Lime is also known as Calcium Hydroxide {Ca(OH)2} is a refined mineral product.

Calcium oxide is stoichiometrically reacted with water in a controlled process to form a hydrated lime product that has the consistency of a fine white powder containing less than 1% residual moisture.

Hydrated lime is used in a variety of industrial applications including water treatment, as an anti-stripping agent in asphalt, and in soil stabilization.

Hydrated lime, chemically known as calcium hydroxide, calcium hydrate or caustic lime, is produced by reacting water with high calcium quicklime in an atmospheric hydrator.

It is a white powder form decomposes on heating producing calcium oxide. It is soluble in water and the solution is a medium strong base reacting violently with acids and attacking many metals in presence of water.

Hydrated lime makes it suitable for a wide range of applications including: the treatment of potable water, waste water and municipal sludge, as a chemical process additive; the stabilization of toxic waste for site remediation and various construction uses including soil stabilization and anti-stripping in asphalt mixes.
