Hydrated Lime Powder

Main Component: Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)) Purity: Typically, 95% to 99% pure calcium hydroxide Appearance: White, fine powder Odor: Odorless Solubility: Slightly soluble in water; forms a milky suspension (lime water) when mixed Bulk Density: Approximately 0.6 to 0.8 g/cmï Calcium Oxide Content (CaO): Typically 70% to 75% pH (0.1% Solution): Typically 12.4 to 12.8 Loss on Ignition: Generally less than 5%, indicating the amount of calcium carbonate or other impurities present Mesh Size: Typically passes through a 100-mesh sieve (fine powder). Granulation can vary depending on the intended use. Moisture: Usually less than 1% to 2% to ensure effective performance and prevent clumping. Lead (Pb): Typically less than 10 ppm (parts per million) Arsenic (As): Typically less than 5 ppm Applications: Used in construction (as a lime mortar or plaster), water treatment (as a flocculant), soil stabilization, and in various chemical processes. Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place in sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause caking or loss of reactivity. Handling Precautions: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and eye protection, as the powder can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
