Product Description

<div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4">Calcium hydroxide USP often referred to as slaked lime is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CaOH<sub>2</sub> It is a white crystalline solid that is produced by mixing calcium oxide lime with water</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><br /></font></div><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4">Calcium Hydroxide Properties: </font></h2><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><strong>1. Chemical Formula: </strong>CaOH<sub>2</sub></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><strong>2. Physical State: </strong> It is commonly found in the form of a white odorless powder or colorless crystals</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><strong>3. Solubility: </strong> Calcium hydroxide is sparingly soluble in water The solubility increases with temperature The resulting solution is known as lime water</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><strong>4. Alkalinity: </strong> Calcium hydroxide is a strong base and when dissolved in water it produces hydroxide ions OH  This property makes it useful in applications where alkalinity is required such as in water treatment processes</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><strong>5. pH: </strong> Regulation Calcium hydroxide is commonly used to regulate the pH of acidic solutions or soils It reacts with acidic substances neutralizing them and raising the pH</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><strong>6. Reactivity with Carbon Dioxide: </strong> Calcium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form calcium carbonate 3CaCO<sub>3</sub> a process known as carbonation This property is utilized in carbon capture technologies and is the reason why lime water turns cloudy when exposed to air</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><strong>7. Health and Safety: </strong>While generally considered safe for many applications calcium hydroxide can cause irritation to the skin and eyes Dust inhalation should be avoided</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="4"><strong>8.
